Penguins, Taxis, Clubs and the like. Do these go in the biscuit tin with yer ginger nuts and yer hob nobs, or should they be stored in another container?
Look at it this way ... your ginger nuts (*), hob nobs, et al are (one assumes) stored in a manner suited to preserving the crunchiness of this type of biscuit.
Penguins and other fully-coated biscuits, whose crunchy interiors are insulated from the atmosphere by said coating, do not require crunchiness-compatible storage and could, indeed, impair the crunch-quotient of their hobnobby or gingery neighbours if stored with them.
Hence, I would definitely say they should be kept separate and cool, possibly with the Fig Rolls and Jaffa Cakes.
(*) Of which the best are from Wrights of Brighouse, oh my word yes, they are the gingeriest and far-and-away the snappiest of ginger snaps. So snappy, they would probably be banned from schools.
Also, for those barbarians who participate in "dunking", from whom I must disassociate myself, these gingers are remarkably resilient and only rarely flop-off into your tea.
Wrights also make wonderfully, beautifully brittle brandy snaps.
