Cola Jaffa cakes?!

Anyone tried them. Weird but not awful. The after taste is stronger than the actual taste.

I liked them.
No one else in the family was impressed so I got to eat the rest of the pack all by myself.
Which was nice 😂

No, I didn't know they sold them. I quite like cola bottle sweets but don't think I'd like it in a jaffa cake.

The deadline for my Tesco order is looming. I’m in two minds.

Our local Tesco sells Polish raspberry jaffa cakes

Needmorelego · 06/08/2024 23:26

@Everyreason you should always try a new Jaffa Cake flavour. Always...

Allmytroublesseemedsofaraway · 06/08/2024 23:26

We have raspberry ones where we are, they’re ok, but original are better

LikeWhoUsesTypewritersAnyway · 06/08/2024 23:27

Never heard of them! They sound vile! 😖

Plutofablestwo · 06/08/2024 23:28

Dc tried them this week dc1 hated them dc2 said they reminded them of haribo. Anyway dc2 has eaten them all so must have been OK however has said prefers the original ones.

@Needmorelego I’ve been hurt before. I loved Cherry Jaffa Cakes and then they took them away. I can’t go through that again. 😁

I couldn't taste the cola at all. Bland as fuck! I think anything other than orange is a crime against nature anyway so 🤷

Toddlerteaplease · 07/08/2024 06:30

I could smell it, and the after taste is really strong. But the actual jelly doesn't taste of it.

We had them, they were very meh.

I prefer the lime ones they have in M&S.

Possumly · 07/08/2024 07:34

I liked them. They also do the cola jaffa cake bars, which I haven't tried yet but plan to

LemonTreeGrove · 07/08/2024 15:33

It looks like in the past they've sold lemon and lime, passion fruit, cherry, raspberry, white chocolate, blackcurrant, strawberry and pineapple. I've missed most of them sadly. 😥

BobbyBiscuits · 07/08/2024 15:34

I love cola sweets and coca cola, but with dark chocolate and sponge? Seems a bit gross tbh. I do like normal Jaffa cakes though. Even though I hate dark chocolate and orange flavouring?!

LemonTreeGrove · 07/08/2024 16:06

My problem with jaffa cakes is that I'm probably supposed to eat two of them, then leave them for the next day, yet I want to eat the whole packet at once as a snack.

Darkfire · 07/08/2024 16:12

I saw them but they didn’t look appetising. I love Polish Cherry Jaffa cakes.

Toddlerteaplease · 08/08/2024 22:40

I used to think the Sainsbury's value ones were superior to the branded ones. Much easier to bite round the edge and peel of the chocolate, and eat the jelly separately.

I don’t know, but variants are always worth a try. Good things I’ve tried that are variants recently are salted caramel Twix and paprika flavoured peanuts.
