The court was adjudicated by Mr Donald Potter QC, who found in favour of McVitie's and ruled that whilst Jaffa Cakes had characteristics of both cakes and biscuits, the product should be considered a cake and not a biscuit, meaning that VAT is not paid on Jaffa Cakes in the United Kingdom.[16][22][23]

In 2021, artificially intelligent binary classifiers "usually used in the field of astronomy" were trained on 92 traditional recipes of cakes and biscuits and determined Jaffa Cakes to be cakes.[25]

The slop machine and legal nerds says its a cake, thus its a biscuit.

It can't be a biscuit. Biscuits look like this:

That is clearly a scone of some kind.

Maybe it is a scone, but this is definitely a biscuit:

This is disrespecting my Appalachia heritage and I won't stand for it!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Hmmm... You're right. Actually, I think this is what a biscuit looks like:

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wrong, only American crackers think like that. True British crackers know it's actually like the picture above.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

only American crackers think like that

Oh yeah I much rather go with the British crackers, the OG racists.

I agree as a proud Appalachian

I loath the dutch, but i loath the english more, so cookie it is.

geef me een klap papa

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

But "koekje" means "little cake," so maybe it's both? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The dutch are sinister. And duplicitous. See how they live both bove and below the sea? It is a hint at their nature.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Very true!

Also their windmills are hiding something, I just know it

The first time I heard an angloid talking about these weird cookies, I legit thought they were spelled "jaffer" because of their fucked up accent

This is a cookie. Why would you call this a cake. It's not like you're gonna cut slices out of it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

Is a small slice of cake a cookie because it's small?

Read theory nerd. Jaffa cake is a cake and you're a fraud in front of everyone.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

That's a kneecap anti-thatcher-action

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

It's a cookie. Cookies can have filling and cookies can have a glaze. Cake is something way more substantial, and biscuits are a special case of cookies.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

but do you condemn the terror attacks in Jaffa?

Anyway it's a fucking cake obviously

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Of course, I hate everyone who attacks the primacy of the Jaffa cake in the processed snack world. We need a holy war against the kkkracka oreo cookie and its Masonic symbolism.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

~~If the only options are "cookie" and "biscuit" I'd say "cookie".~~

Title changed, I guess it's "cake". Biscuits in burgerland are different, I would probably say "slop" or honestly "mass produced confection" if somebody asked me out of the blue to classify this.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

Please remove your rude and unnecessary comment that says I got the title wrong. I never got the title wrong and anyone who says otherwise is jealous of my skateboarding skills.

I'm asking the mods to put it the log that I am NOT mad but I am still reporting this comment for misinformation.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

It's a very small and awful cake.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

It's a cake. It's made of sponge. There is no debate. This has been ratified in court.

It's a cake, it's in the name.

And if that isn't convincing enough, they go hard when stale, like cake. Biscuits go soft.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

cake. it's literally a sponge idk why this has ever been up for debate
