Shrinking Jaffa Cakes!!

73 replies

McTitties are reducing the number of Jaffa Cakes from 12 to 10 - that's TEN - in a packet. This is an outrage. I'd boycott them but they're just too.... nom nom.... only 10 in a pack? Not enough to share. Get your own.

Buy Lidl, you'll never go back.

I prefer the M&S equivalent of jaffa cakes, they are better than the original IMO.

Have you tried the lemon and lime Jaffa from M&S Surfer, well worth a taste

AtHomeDadGlos · 26/09/2017 23:26

I blame " this Tory government" for the Jaffa cake debacle among other things.

The Lidl ones are lush.

@NotCornflakes we should definitely start a petition. Would changes.org be interested?

I hate jaffa cakes Angry

They have shrunk too- massively.
They used to have think crunchy dark chocolate on them.
Now they are a milky soft blandness!

Germgirl · 27/09/2017 17:05

M&S ones are by far the best. The cranberry ones they do at Christmas are wonderful and luckily DH hates them :)

JugglingMummyof2 · 27/09/2017 17:10

I never understood what was so great about Jaffa cakes until my daughter bought Lidl ones - they are divine.

ambereeree · 27/09/2017 17:12

Now I need to get to m&s to go find these lemon and lime jaffas.

YABU for this

But Jaffa cakes are nice, I'll grant you. So YANBU otherwise.

Colemans have smallerened (yes, it is a word - I just made it up) their glass jars of sauces. Bastards. I KNOW WHAT YOU DID. DONT THINK I DIDNT NOTICE.

I have, they are my favourite. Much nicer than Jaffa cakes.

SerfTerf · 28/09/2017 02:00

Good. I need saving from myself Smile

Jux · 28/09/2017 08:14

Tesco Jaffa cakes are better, but the best Jaffa cakes are from Lidl. So basically I don't care what McV do about theirs. Grin
