AIBU to think that the chocolate part of the Jaffa cake is the top?

[Sarahplane]

DP thinks the chocolate is the bottom!

Ltb!

chocolate is top always has been

It's a chocolate coating, not a base! Spongey bit, orangey jammy bit and chocolate coating. And I could eat a double pack without even thinking about it.

I agree LTB.

Chocalate part is the top

Obviously chocolate is the top - ltb

Does he also think a quiche is served pastry up? Or that a cake should be served with the icing underneath?!

Top

LTB

Of course the chocolate part is the top!

Just what is wrong with the man!! Has he had some sort of head trauma? Definitely LTB!

Heathen!
Show him the picture on the box 🙄

McVities are wrong, wrong I tell you!!!!!

The fool!

Yes, but those are biscuits. Jaffa Cakes are cakes so it doesn't apply.

Of course it's the top. If you put the Jaffa cake the other way up it would not be stable, owing to the variable thickness of the orangey bit.

Whilst my mind has been truly boggled by this, it actually makes sense. Our tastebuds are on our tongues, so we don't taste as much of the chocolate if we eat sponge side down.

Scientific tests need to be conducted of course: my theory, my trial. I'll let you know the results after a minimum of 100 Jaffa cakes. I'll take this one for the team!

Top. But then again, it's also on the top of Chocolate digestives. I mean who would put those on a plate with the biscuit-side up. Bizarre. For starters you need to know if they are plain chocolate or milk chocolate I'd rather not get fat for those.

It clearly on the bottom!

Ok. I'm on DP's side, I think the sponge is the top, because it's domed, and so perfect.

From the metro article:

Kerry Owens, McVitie’s Marketing Director, told metro.co.uk: ‘When we make our McVitie’s chocolate biscuits – whether that be Chocolate Hobnobs, Chocolate Digestives, or even Jaffa Cakes – they go through a reservoir of chocolate on the production line. ‘This essentially “enrobes” the bottom in chocolate – so we can confirm that the chocolate is officially on the bottom of the biscuits.

Loads of things are made bottom up and then served turned over (Terrines, some patisserie). THAT IS NOT A GOOD REASON MCVITIE IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT FOOD.

Congratulations- you get my first ever LTB. He’s clearly unstable and can’t be trusted.

Are they upside down in the packaging then?

Well- with chocolate digestives, they have writing on the top so the chocolate is obviously on the bottom

BonnesVacances They never last long enough for me to work that out
