interesting Jaffa Cake fact

[Strangelight]

Jaffa Cakes are not biscuits.

Biscuits start off hard and then go soft when they get old. Cakes start off soft and then go hard. McVities went to court to prove this definition and that their product was therefore a cake and not a biscuit.

The sale of biscuits attracts extra tax as they are classed as a luxury item, whereas the sale of cakes (being clearly essential) does not. Hence why they cared.

The stale of biscuits attracts extra tax as they are classed as a luxury item, whereas the stale of cakes (being clearly essential, of course) does not. Hence why they cared. Silly English people.

I think its outstanding that Ginger Nuts are more taxable than Jaffa Cakes. I'd never have guessed that in a million years.

The choking potential is higher, so of course. Especially the Ginger ones. It's like insurance.

Someone once told me how they got the figs into fig rolls but i didnt understand it



I used to dissect jaffas, fig rolls, and chocolate eclairs for scientific purposes. those old eclair ads are utterly misleading, the toffee in the centre is NOT heart shaped

I used to bite the chocolate off Trios, leaving a remarkable bum-like centre

PIMS are much better that jaffa cakes, but in uk i had to go for them, not other options. PIMS are much softer.

 

[french_anatheman]

Yes PIMS are UNIQUE!!!

 

[Abcidia]

But i miss the apple turnover (think it was called like this) from TESCOS
