According to WHSV-TV, Wiseman described her mother as a neat freak who would clean unnecessary items but chose to keep the biscuit. The biscuit had a note stating it was made by Mrs. Chambers in August 1940 at the Blankenship residence. Wiseman explained that it belonged to her mother\u2019s brother\u2019s wife\u2019s grandmother, and they were puzzled by the unfamiliar names mentioned. After researching, they discovered that the biscuit was likely saved by his great-uncle&#8217;s first wife after her grandmother passed away. Although intrigued by its history, Wiseman humorously stated that no one in the family is interested in eating it due to its freezer smell.
