Brits furious as Jaffas make list of UK’s top five favourite biscuits in new poll
The chocolatey treats sparked fury by sneaking in at fifth place - even though they are legally registered as CAKES
BRITS have kicked off after the Jaffa Cake was named one of the UK's top five BISCUITS.
The chocolatey treats sparked fury by sneaking in at fifth place - even though they are legally registered as CAKES.
A 1991 VAT tribunal ruled they aren't technically biscuits because they go hard if left out.
One Twitter user fumed: "Jaffa cakes aren’t biscuits you spoons they’re cakes they go hard when they’ve gone off unlike biscuits that go soft."
A poll of 7,000 Brits named Chocolate digestives as the nation's favourite biscuit.
Cadbury fingers made second place, while milk chocolate digestives took third.
Jaffa Cakes finished in fourth, with original digestives in fifth.
Twitter users questioned why three kinds of digestive made the list while Custard Creams and Hobnobs missed out.
One raged: "It has the word 'cake' in its name ffs, sort it out. As for the omission of hobnobs wtf is going on."
Another fumed: "Where are plain chocolate hobnobs? What's the country coming to?"
