If you have the misfortune to land on their redirection page something TERRIBLE happens.

Along with the usual apology that you've been directed to a page that no longer exists, they have a pithy messages that states

You found it! We've been looking for that biscuit everywhere ...

And then next to it, next to it

A picture of a partially eaten

JAFFA CAKE Angry

Honestly, seriously? Do you know nothing?

It's a cake! Cake. Not biscuit. It's a cake. Angry

How could you?

I am clearly so NBU it hurts. I DEMAND a picture of a Jammy Dodger with haste.

Don't you mean an apostrophe, Pan?

No need to thank me.

Ha! Blush

BrittaPie · 21/04/2013 19:07

They rotate biscuits.

Didn't the Pringles people try to argue that they were not a potato based snack ie not a crisp or something for tax reasons?

SconeInSixtySeconds · 21/04/2013 19:07

Yay! Jammie dodger that time!

Pan. As I have an unused comma I can always stick it somewhere else?

I hadn't noticed that and now it's really going to annoy me

They have no right to call themselves cakes.

RustyBear · 21/04/2013 19:10

MNHQ seem to have an awful lot of half-eaten biscuits lying around.

They'll be getting mice next....

True Usual. Mingy orange bastards.

I now have about 12 tabs open trying to establish the biscuit appearance pattern.

She doesn't desetve one.

Humph.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 21/04/2013 19:17

There, there, there HonetDragon. Calm down dear, it's only a biscuit.

Biscuits. Biscuits. Biscuits.

Has anyone ever actually let a Jaffa cake go off in order to test the cake/biscuit categorisation? If so YABVU and are a bastard of the highest order. I could've had that Jaffa cake.

HorribleHaircut · 21/04/2013 19:20

Who the hell puts down a biscuit?! Weirdies.

And surely it should be pom bears? or a slice of quiche....?

If you get the 404 page at RTE you get a picture of Shergar.

Zombie to lecture on VAT. She always used the Jaffa Cake tale in her lecture. It's more than just cakes go hard / biscuits go soft...
