- When a biscuit goes stale, it goes soft.
Jaffa cakes were always sold as cakes but thought to be biscuits. The mean trade consumer people decided that Jaffa Cakes had to be rebranded as Jaffa Biscuits,
but McVities refused.
You don't pay VAT on biscuits or cakes, but you do on chocolate biscuits as they are classed as luxury items. So they had a huge court case to try and save Jaffa cakes.
McVities baked a huge 12" jaffa cake to prove it was a cake, and showed it went stale like a cake not a biscuit.
They won, and kept jaffa cakes deliciously free from the evil VAT monster.
According to my niece's junior school a 2 finger kitkat is a biscuit and is therefore allowed. The children's lunchboxes are inspected by the teacher for "sweets" and chocolate bars. Anything on the banned list is returned to the mum at the end of the school day along with a letter saying what is permitted in lunchboxes.
According to the school, a Twix is a chocolate bar, and therefore not permitted in a lunchbox; but a Kitkat IS permitted (only the 2 finger ones). Penguin bars are OK; home made cakes are OK, but jaffa cakes are not allowed. I feel very sorry for all the mums! The school has no hot school dinners, so all children bring packed lunches.
