Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Well here's something that doesn't happen every day. A British woman, Kim Stead, bit into a cracker (called biscuits in England), and a diamond fell out. Of course she was really excited about it at first, but quickly came to the conclusion that it probably wasn't worth that much.The diamond was pretty small and had probably fallen out of a jewelry setting. She did notify the cracker company, McVitie, who at first suggested that it might be crystallized sugar. Once Mrs. Stead assured them it was a diamond, McVitie sent a package for her to return to them so they could start an investigation.
No word on if Mrs. Stead has returned the diamond yet or any results. What would you do if you found something like that in your food?

The 'crystallized sugar' in your paraphrase makes it sound like this was the cookie version. The blog Separated by a Common Language has a good description of the name variations for all kinds of baked goods here: http://separatedbyacommonlanguage.blogspot.com/2006/07/baked-goods.html.

Leave it to me to find a diamond in a place like that. LOL

I can see how at first sight (in that photo, anyway) one would consider it a cracker, but it most certainly a proper cookie: heartier, but sweet, and certainly not savory. Some of them even have chocolate on the back. Yum! If you've never tried them, please consider it!

I WONDER WHERE OR WHEN IT WILL TURN UP, OR, IF IT WILL TURN UP? I HOPE THAT, IF IT DOES, IT WILL MAKE THE NEXT PERSON AS HAPPY AS IT MADE ME...

I can't see a big corporation wasting alot of valuable resources to find the owner of the diamond. They are out to make money for their greedy selves, not, in the way a big corporation would look at it, as determining what negligent employee had such a cheap ring as to loose a diamond in cracker batter. Finally, I bought the crackers, I bought the diamond in the box. Therefore, the diamond has a new owner.

3-12-2008 @9:57PM claire said... is no one else thinking about the fact that a diamond was found in the cracker? its kinda gross if you really think about it. it means either someone wasnt wearing gloves when they were made or was breaking the rules by wearing earings or even nastier a nose ring? really people lets think about how nasty and germy that diamond was and someone ate it, well ate what it was in. i would be a little worried about the product and their cleanliness after that one. i mean it came off some sort of jewerly piece, just take your pick as to which part of the body it was on to begin with.

Hillary is really the only one running that has any white house experience. She was probably the one running our country when Bill was President because he was too busy being a jerk and having affair after affair! Not much of a man in my opinion because my now ex did the same thing to me!
