When you’re eating a Jaffa Cake….

[PuppyMonkey]

… do you still say:

Full moon.

Half moon.

Total eclipse.

?

… I still do.

Of course, for the first 3. The rest of the packet suffers immediate eclipses...

It is impossible not to eat a whole packet.

No, I'm too busy neatly and painstakingly nibbling away the chocolate layer to reveal the jelly centre, and then peeling the jelly away very satisfyingly from it's sponge base. I eat the jelly in one go, but slowly turning it around in my mouth so I can really savour that prize I worked for. Then I bash down the sponge in one quick gobble.

I like to get a 3 course meal out of my jaffa cakes.

I've never been into the 'moon' thing.

I came to write exactly this!

Same as DaltWisney!
Always feel cheated if for some reason I have to eat a Jaffa cake like a normal biscuit

Every. Time.

What a superb thread. 😁

I say it every. single . time.

As do the entire family…

We eat boxes of them. In one sitting.

😂🤣

Bite round the edges leaving the orange disk area only. Peel that off sponge then eat. Eat last bit of sponge. Funny I was just thinking about the pack that's been in my cupboard for ages - off to get some 😆

I prefer the total eclipse approach with Jaffa Cakes, but I’m very much into nibbling all the chocolate off around a Fry’s Chocolate Cream if that’s any consolation.

😂😂😂

And… you have to say it with the accent of course… it adds to the drama … 😁

Nah, I'm too busy thinking about the cake vs biscuit debate.

Yes. Every, single, time.
With the accent.
DP's reaction is to roll his eyes.
This post has made me smile thinking of others out there doing the same thing.

Who on earth doesn't just shove the entire Jaffa cake in their gob in one go?

But yes, if I'm in polite company, then I full, half, total as is polite and proper.

None, the combo of chocolate and orange is gag inducing. I thought it would come with age- I still can't even sniff it. 🙅🏻‍♀️

OMG! That advert is from 1999.

Me too. Made me chuckle 😁

And what planet do you come from?

Fuck off!

I was 16! I'm 40 this year

Bien sur. Had -loads- a couple today and did it every time.

Yes, and also when I see a full moon

You clearly aren’t a member of this gang .

Yup! My kids do it too and they have no idea why
