Are biscuits the 'key' to clinching business deals?
It appears that biscuits are important! The chocolate digestive was deemed to make the best impression followed by shortbread and Hob Nobs. Lawyers were most impressed by good boardroom biccies, the Holiday Inn survey added.
As well as the chocolate digestive, Jammie Dodgers and Bourbons were also among the biscuit types thought to help sweet-talk customers.
However crumbly biscuits are a big no-no in the meeting environment, the questionnaire found, with 30% frowning on a regular digestive in the work environment.
And when it comes to helping yourself to biscuits from a communal plate, the most acceptable number to take is two, the research concluded.
However more than half of respondents looked down on dunking biscuits in tea or coffee during a meeting.
A survey released last year, which quizzed 7,000 people, suggested that the custard cream is the nation's favourite biscuit.
