Editing Digestive biscuit (section)

== In popular culture ==
McVitie's digestive biscuits have become known among fans of [[the Beatles]] because they were the cause of an argument between [[George Harrison]] and [[John Lennon]] during a recording session for the group's 1969 album ''[[Abbey Road]]''. The incident was recounted by recording engineer [[Geoff Emerick]] in his book ''Here, There, and Everywhere: My Life Recording the Music of The Beatles''.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Emerick|first1=Geoff |last2=Massey|first2=Howard |title=Here, There, and Everywhere: My Life Recording the Music of The Beatles |publisher=Penguin|location=New York, NY |year=2006 |isbn=1-59240-179-1 }} Gotham Books, {{ISBN|1-59240-179-1}}</ref> According to Emerick, Lennon's wife [[Yoko Ono]] was in the recording studio and at one point helped herself to Harrison's box of McVitie's while the Beatles were in the control room listening to a playback of the song they had just recorded. Harrison became angry at Ono, and his subsequent outburst caused Lennon to lose his temper in response.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=WOk8TP8o018C&q=mcvities+digestive+george+john+beatles&pg=PT309|title=Here, There and Everywhere: My Life Recording the Music of the Beatles|first1=Geoff|last1=Emerick|first2=Howard|last2=Massey|date=16 March 2006|publisher=Penguin|isbn=9781101218242|access-date=21 March 2018|via=Google Books}}</ref>
