they're cakes and they do go hard when you leave them out, I've done it before.

They're CAKES dammit! x

Yes they are cakes, they are made from sponge so they fall in to the cake category nicely and as stated above they go hard when they turn stale unlike biscuits; it was this fact that won McVities their court case against the government years ago when the treasury wanted them to be biscuits so that it could put higher VAT on them... or something.

Exactly, there is evidence! x

They are quite clearly cakes cunningly disguising themselves as biscuits. I've heard about the technical tax thing too, and yes they are cakes really, but in my mind I still see them as biscuits, as any sane person would!

[xinnerxblondex]

Hhhmm...does that make me insane then? x

Weeell...I don't see how anyone could possibly liken the small round things you get in packets to the fun party stuff you cut into pieces, that's all. Jaffa Cakes may be technically, yes, cakes, but they still serve the function of a biscuit!

(This is why those new Jaffa Cake bars rule, incidentally. No confusion at all there as to what they are.)
