Surely such rubbish would have a much more detailed exposure in the Mail?

Triangular, square, oblong? What an uncaring world we live in, everyone knows circular flap jacks have no corners so are safer to throw.

Hang on though, are we back to bad education?

They aren't for throwing, they are for eating, anyone throwing the damned thing should be expelled leaving the school safe for our tender loved ones.
