LONDON -- British people feel very strongly about their biscuits.

Anyone who's ever mis-timed a dunked Digestive will know the pain of losing a biscuit -- but what about if you lost a whole packet of the things?

Hugh Osborn, a student at the University of Warwick, recently stumbled across just such a tragedy.

Yep. The fallen packet of digestives had actually been made into a shrine, complete with a candle and a note reading, "Sorry for your loss".

Things escalated quickly from there.




Then, came a twist. Another group, who claimed to be the creators of the original shrine, tweeted a solemn prayer group around the disaster. 

Finally, though, the shrine went the same way as the digestives.

Still, we'll always have the memories.
