I just used this phrase, as a humorous substitute for "that's how the cookie crumbles". I did a quick check of the internet and nobody else seems to have used it. I hereby claim it.
If you don't know, digestives are a plain biscuit (cookie). Barely worth eating unless they have chocolate on one side (but pretty good in that case).
Seriously, who eats plain biscuits? Plain digestives, Rich Tea (the worst of the worst), ginger nuts, Lincoln greens, Nice...the sort of biscuits that you might eat if they're available, sure, but who goes into a shop and buys them?
In recent years, I've been gluten free by choice (to coin a phrase), so there haven't been a whole lot of biscuits in my life anyway. But I don't miss any of the above.
(A nice Scottish shortbread is the exception, I'll allow.)
