I’d bring out the photo evidence, but the local police weren’t too amused by the idea of having their photo taken with Disco Biscuits. We tried that one, and it didn’t go down with quite as much comic affect as we’d hoped for. We’d then to produce the snacks just before the handcuffs came out. A plan was hatched to find a policeman, compliment him on his costume and then ask him if he’s like a Disco Biscuit. The first suggestion was to take advantage of the festival fancy dress code to involve some policemen. Of course, as soon as we found ‘Disco Biscuits’ we thought of numerous ways to make use of them. This entire thing relies on that double meaning, but just to be clear, we’re talking entirely about the candy pictured on this blog entry. As you may or may not know, Disco Biscuits is a common piece of street slang for a particular club drug. Lorraine, who works for one of numerous music websites I’m currently involved with, went shopping in Aldi when she arrived in Michelstown, and found an Aldi snack product called Disco Biscuits. One of the reasons I love music festivals – music aside – is that the smallest of things can turn into the most hilarious of events.
