Tried one of these for the first time and I am disappoint.

Dodger lacks the proper structural integrity to be paired with Jammie. Tearing the Jammie with your teeth pulverizes the dodger.

Is this the way it's supposed to be, or did I get a stale box?

I thought this thread was a very strangely titled thread about Magic Johnson buying the Dodgers.

My first thought before Googling "Jammie Dodger" was a young child who refused to put on their pajamas.

Now that I know you're talking about a British Biscuit (Cookie to my fellow Yanks), which is similar to the Pepperidge Farm Verona variety, I can state my view:

As I've only had the afore mention Verona, I can state they have a similar phenomenon when consumed. As the nature of such shortbread is prone to crumble by habit, I've found that sealing my lips firmly around the cookie before closing my jaw keeps things clean. Once the jaw is closed, move the lower mandible in a side to side sawing action, this makes a clean cut through the fruit filling without compromising the remaining structure.
What, me worry?

Jammie is an order of magnitude more firm.

I'd say iced Charleston Chew firm, though with less non-Newtonian fluid properties.

You're doing it wrong. Twist, separate, then lick.

It helps if you're six.

While it is widely believed that the (often exported) Australian Tim Tam is the king of biscuits, this misconception is held only by people who do not have access to Arnott's Mint Slices.


Kneel before your minty chocolate god!

On a related note, incoming reports from my 9y/o daughter suggest that the mythologised Oreos are possibly the most overrated biscuit on the planet.

This is because they stopped making them with lard.

Pork fat makes everything better.

Fun fact: The jam in a Jammie Dodger, is raspberry flavoured plum jam.

They also have Toffee Dodgers now. I have yet to try them.
I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....

A masterful rubric for crumb-free biscuit consumption.

Hats off gentleman.

In fairness and disclosure, as a gay gentleman, the lip sealing maneuver may need to be practiced on firm objects in private to ensure there's no seepage during consumption before the technique is performed in public by those who are not.
What, me worry?
