Ultimate Biscuit Tournament (Mod Note Post #1 and #984)

EmmetSpiceland

Jaffa Cakes have no place in this tournament. Please see below for the reason.

“In the United Kingdom, value added tax is payable on chocolate-covered biscuits, but not on chocolate-covered cakes.

McVities defended its classification of Jaffa Cakes as cakes at a VAT tribunal in 1991, against the ruling that Jaffa cakes were biscuits due to their size and shape, and the fact that they were often eaten in place of biscuits.

McVities insisted that the product was a cake, and allegedly produced a giant Jaffa cake in court to illustrate its point.

The court found in favour of McVitie's and ruled that the product should be considered a cake, meaning that VAT is not paid on Jaffa cakes in the United Kingdom.

In Ireland, Jaffa cakes are regarded as cakes by Revenue as their moisture content is greater than 12%. As a result, they are charged the reduced rate of VAT (13.5% as of 2016).”

What is it with you and jaffa biscuits?

How did a cake get through?

Anyway coconut creams because I had them once and I never tasted the other ones. Coconut creams were sh1ye but as I can’t say the other ones were any better, having not tasted them, o go with them and I can’t say fairer.

That may be true but who's ever been at a party and the lights go out and everyone starts singing Happy birthday to the light of a single candle shoved in a Jaffa Cake!!! No one! Absolutely no one!

"knowledge is knowing tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad"?

It's the same with Jaffa Cakes. They are not cakes, they are biscuits.

Here's the rules for Round 1


1. Each match is made using a Random Number Generator.


2. You must give a reason for your choice or it won't count. It's more fun this way. Some people cast a vote with just their choice and then go back to edit it and include a choice. This is allowed once your post is edited by the time the count begins i.e. fairly quickly.


3. The first biscuit to receive 8 votes goes through to the next round.

I’m not sure. It’s quite hard to follow the above clearly laid out rules.
