Come to think of it, now that we're talking about it, maybe I should just replace my man goods with a yard of Jaffa Cakes. Wonder how the g/f would like that....

I recently re-discovered them.
On balance, Mr Kipling is making exceedingly shite cakes these days! They don't even use real frickin marzipan or cherries in their cherry bakewells FFS!

Oh sorry your the merk.. well done sir....

It's baked in layers
It's not cooked twice (though many biscuits aren't any more)
It goes hard when stale, not soft.
It's a cake, dammit!
Tiny yummy cakes.

But those pesky rationeres (fuck it, im going with that description, so sue me) Still planted the seed of doubt .. Unless that whole thing was abn urban myth/marketing ploy..
Still nice to ask some one, then get ever more serious about their reasoning.. getting rather irate.. though obviously youve gone through that process to breaking point given your ratehr sucsinct answer..
excuse my speeeelings, drunkardness is only a sip away

There is no VAT paid on cakes, but there is on chocolate biscuits so it was in their interest. They won by baking a MASSIVE jaffa to prove it could be eaten cake-style.
I'm not even joking - I had a lecture on this at law school
