The age-old confectionery conundrum has been whether a Jaffa Cake is a cake or a biscuit, but now there’s a new twist that’s sending chocolate orange aficionados into a frenzy. It turns out we’ve all been munching on Jaffa Cakes the wrong way round!
According to McVitie and Price, the company behind Jaffa Cakes, the chocolate part of the much-loved treat is actually the bottom. This revelation means that generations have been gripping and gobbling Jaffa Cakes in an inverted fashion.
The revelation emerged when a curious individual named David reached out to the official Jaffa Cake page to settle the debate once and for all, asking “what side of the Jaffa is the bottom?”
The response he received, which he shared in a screenshot on the Facebook group Family Lockdown Tips and Ideas, showed the brand clarifying: “Hi David, our Jaffa Cakes go through a reservoir of chocolate, so the chocolate is on the bottom. Thanks, Jaffa Cakes.”
David’s reaction to this news was one of disbelief as he exclaimed: “WTF dude”. And he wasn’t alone in his astonishment; another person commented, “OMG just turned my world upside down,” reflecting the widespread bewilderment.
Confusion arose for another as the box depicts the chocolate on top, prompting them to question: “On the box it’s on the top?”
Yet, not all were perturbed by the revelation, with a commenter shrugging off the debate, remarking: “Who cares? Just shove ’em in your gob,” they concluded.
