Did someone say biscuits??!!
One of my favourite subjects! 
Best dunkers imo are Rich, Tea, Ginger nuts, Malted Milk, Choc Digestives, Bourbon and Custard Creams.
In any order.....  |

Shortbread, though you've got to be careful as they soak up a lot of tea quickly and are very crumbly. Definitely not for the novice dunker. What can I say...I guess I'm just a crazy guy who likes to live life on the edge. |

"Still trying to find a suitable enough tea cup / mug to accommodate a Wagon Wheel dunk."
I got a large tea cup and saucer from Tesco that a wagon wheel would fit in. |

There and to the left a bit |
Anything that has a good solid consistency to it and preferably not chocolate coated (unless a digestive) - can't be too thin otherwise you risk soggy drop into the tea. Also needs a degree of soakability.
Digestives, shortbread and Hobknobs are all good examples of decent dunkers
Pink wafers, garribaldis (see scalability above) and Jaffa cakes (yes I know they're officially a cake by they're biscuit size and therefore potential dunkers) are all examples of non-dunkers.
I've possibly thought about this too much  |

Oh and Rich Tea are for the skilled dunker only - dunk for the right length of time, and they are a delight, leave it a millisecond too long and you're destined for Rich Tea sludge at the bottom of the cup!! |

For those dunkers on a budget, try the Essential Waitrose rich highland shortie biscuits. At just 60p for a massive packet, they make a perfect skint-January dunking treat. For a flavour per pence ratio, there's not a better value biscuit out there! |

"Oooh here we go!!
All of them. Love it and only reason why I put the kettle on. No biscuits means no tea for me.
#dunker"
I have been known to be the other way round - if someone gets biscuits out I have to go and make a brew |

That is standard
I forgot to confirm and reconfirm what a few other posters have said...
Ginger nuts were made for dunking. |
