AIBU to be DISGUSTED and FURIOUS at Mumsnets ineptness? I am RAGING!

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

Honestly, seriously? Do you know nothing?

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

How could you?

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

But how do you get to those pages? I've never seen them on MN at all.

I detest Jaffa cakes. You now get Jaffa cake muffins.

I was led to this page this week. I'm sure I got a jammy dodger.

If someone does a wrong link you get it.

I have fucking Jaffa cakes in my coat pocket!

Why?

:)

I don't really. I just always wanted to say that after seeing it on spaced years ago!

And I agree with you anyway. They are most certainly cakes!

Jaffa cakes are disgusting, that's what they are.

Zombie is of course correct.
HMRC weighed up the evidence - see here: www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/vfoodmanual/vfood6260.htm

and eventually decided that McVitie's could class them as biscuits.

They're not biscuits aaaaaaafgh! Rage! Aaaargh

Oh, fuck. I meant and eventually decided that McVitie's could class them as CAKES.

Cakes, NOT biscuits.

Jaffa Cakes are cakes because they go hard

Pringles were officially declared not to be crisps in 2008 as they don't contain enough potato but the courts changed their mind in 2009 and now they are

:head tilt: Do you have ishoos with biscuit / cake classification, Honey?

What about Yorkshire puddings and Kendal mint cake?

I have a garibaldi. Erkh, dead fly pie

MNHQ, if you don't want them jaffas, please do pass them here.m

Ta mucky.

Yorkshire pudding can be served with syrup or cream.

And Kendal Mint Cake shares more resemblance to cake than owt else.

There is no funking logic in declaring a Jaffa cake a biscuit ... It's a fucking bastard cake.

Fucking. Stoopid autocorrect.

Why the Jesus H Christ would you ruin a Yorkshire pud with friffing syrup or cream? Why? WHY? WHY?

fanjo you eat one with gravy first... Then for pud it's Yorkshire pud again!

It is a biscuit..

let me finish

...shaped and sized cake

I just bought a pack in Sainsbo.

They were RIGHT UNDER a banner sign saying "BISCUITS"

I thought of you all exploding with The Rage.

Then I came home and ate them with my .

BISCUIT.BISCUIT.BISCUIT!!!

Biscuit is a very funny word

Ahem! You're all quite right, and we are covered in shame and crumbs

Rest assured that the offending item is being removed, even as we speak
