A little Jaffa Cake etiquette: 1. Jaffa Cakes are eaten in a continuous stream, one after the other. 2. Once opened, you should keep the packet in your non-dominant hand to allow ease of access. 3. Continue until all the Jaffa Cakes have gone. 4. Do not share your Jaffa Cakes. This reduces the number of Jaffa Cakes you can eat. 5. Always ask others to share their Jaffa Cakes. This increases the number of Jaffa Cakes you can eat. 6. People who do not follow rules 1, 2 and 3 cannot be trusted. Any Jaffa Cakes discarded by these monsters are now fair game.
Very true. But you forgot the many ways to eat a jaffa cake. You must either pick one style and follow through, or change every time another one comes.
Supermarkets need to take these beauties off the biscuit aisle and give them they’re own dedicated aisle. Forget the whole “is it a biscuit, is it a cake” debate.
my nan and grandad lived on the road opposite the factory, the smell of the factory is amazing and takes me back to my childhood instantly when i smell it.
I was once an international student in Sheffield, UK. These are so popular, they introduced these as part of a cultural workshop. After that what the instructor was saying is kind of hazy. All I remember is coming out of a chocolate-orange stupor! 😁
Word dude... I'd give anything to be back in the old days not a care in the world playing minecraft all day after school, watching yogscast, and pewdiepie
I had a friend who liked Jaffa cakes, he was crazy about them. Unfortunately he left us too soon. Sometimes I buy Jaffa cakes, even if I don't like them that much, just to remember the good old times when he used to share them at work. RIP Mo
This is not only made in England but many more countries in Europe. But all I can say is that people REALLY are missing out if they haven't tried this out yet because you could eat like 10 boxes and still feel like you haven't had enough of these 😂 that's how delicious they are😍
Damla Bahri Damn straight! My mum has limited me to one pack a day and I can’t eat em all in one go but I’ve found a way to cheat that and that is to pretend to eat em with my siblings and just eat em all. My siblings don’t mind.
Really nice process. You can see the refinement in the production process, must have taken a long time to get it so streamlined. I'm especially impressed with the metal scanner as quality control, and the actuator being accurate/fast enough to get rid of the bad ones.
I find it strangely amusing that there's a room in England that if I fill the machines with flour, eggs, sugar, chocolate and jam that I will get 60 tons of Jaffa cakes by the next morning
I live in the United States and it took a month for them to arrive from Amazon (pack of 30) I ate them all almost instantly one of the best snacks I’ve ever had. I wish they were sold here
@Baked Beans On Toast it’s definitely cake, by definition, there are many different types of cakes, a sponge is a type of cake. The only reason people doubt it is because of the size, as it’s small it’s crispier than normal cake. But if you were to make a giant Jaffa cake, you will discover it’s exactly like a normal sponge cake.
I think it was a court case that settled the debate, in the UK I believe VAT is paid on chocolate biscuits, but not on cakes, the argument was that a biscuit goes soft and soggy when stale, a cake goes hard and dry, Jaffa cakes so the latter, therefore are cakes therefore saving the company a massive VAT bill
There is an undercurrent of stress to the way he talks about how much Jaffa cake is made. We make 15000 tons and can barely quell the insatiable gannets of the uk and their lust for Jaffa cakes.
My mum used to work at that McVitie's factory in Stockport, she loved it! She didn't bring home as many reject Jaffa Cakes as I would've liked, but then no amount is ever enough. Traces of metal? I'd eat one with a rusty nail in it! 😋
Mate I don’t think I could work there I’d be extremely overweight and pretty sure fired within the 1st month for munching the cakes instead of packing them🤣😂
I don't know if all places do this, but I once saw a documentary on a chocolate factory and they let their workers have the chocolate they make (as much as they want) and after a week they get sick of it so they don't want it anymore...its a good deterrence My mum's friend used to have a sweet business and she let her kids eat as much as they want so that they wud get sick of it and not sneak sweets haha
@@zak3172 I used to work at nestle making toffee crisp, after 8 and drifter. You get bored real easy, you don't even see it as a food after a while it's just a product. It's always handy if you forget your lunch that you won't go hungry ha. They had an onsite shop for faulty products we got really cheap, nothing wrong with it either might have just been the mint aero in the normal chocolate packaging.
I LOVE JAFFA CAKES. Does anyone else eat the chocolate then take the centre of the cake and save it to last? Or is that just me? I can't believe how many people have never heard about or seen them before !!!
am sitting here crying as I haven't had Jaffa cakes for nearly two years, as I am currently outside the UK. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I miss eating them so much 💗💗💗
Thats a load of horseshit. They use anti-obesity as a nice way to market themselves while they of course simply want to make more money by cutting costs. They know that people HATE it when prices go up. So what they do instead of putting fewer food in the packaging or they create a ''new recipe'' which is supposedly ''tastier'' but obviously they just end up making it more watered down so they can save on costs. They do this all the time with all kinds of brands. Meanwhile the price stays the same, but you end up getting less for your money. They've done the same with crips/chips. Adding more air to ''protect'' the food. While the price stays the same.
