Just how many packs of jaffa cakes is too many in one sitting?

[mudskipper]

Whoever came up with that in their marketing department should be given a Porsche, I've seen those given pride of place in supermarkets and people picking them up all over the place.

I want one.

There's a chap here at ClientCo with three of these on his desk!!

There is a similar yard of smarties on sale at the moment. I can imagine some kid getting that and going mental with all the E numbers.

Alas Not

Tis an urban myth....

[minestrone]

But should they be called jaffa biscuits?

It's not an urban myth, but regardless they don't use them in Smarties anymore which is why they are such drab colours now. Skittles too IIRC... whereas American sweets are sickening colourful.

They're cakes.

The law says so

This is the rule of thumb I have always gone on

On going stale, a Jaffa cake goes hard like a cake rather than soft like a biscuit.

I wonder how many Jaffa Cakes Jesus could eat?

Hi soupy...

Cakes do not attract VAT. Biscuits do.
