As soon as Francis Rossi & Rick Parfitt heard about Biscuit Wars they couldn't wait to get involved with a sponsorship deal that totally outstripped the American corporations.

There are rumours that German techno-rockers Kraftwerk are tabling a bid to sponsor the final - but time will tell if they will or not.

In the meantime, pick your biscuit top of the rocks!

Agreed, but it's a CAKE!

Legally you are correct however in 2005 it was argued they should be reclassified as pseudobiscuits:

Under UK law, no VAT is charged on biscuits and cakes  they are "zero rated". Chocolate covered biscuits, however, are classed as luxury items and are subject to VAT at 17.5%. McVitie's classed its Jaffa Cakes as cakes, but in 1991, this was challenged by Her Majesty's Customs and Excise in court.[2] This may have been because Jaffa Cakes are about the same size and shape as some types of biscuit. The question which had to be answered was what criteria should be used to class something as a cake or biscuit. McVitie's defended the classification of Jaffa Cakes as a cake by producing a giant Jaffa Cake to illustrate that their Jaffa Cakes were simply mini cakes.

They also argued that the distinction between cakes and biscuits is simply that cakes go hard when stale, whereas biscuits go soft. It was demonstrated that Jaffa Cakes become hard when stale and McVitie's won the case.[3]

The issue was revisited in an article entitled 'Are Jaffa Cakes really biscuits?' published in the Journal of Unlikely Science (Volume 1, issue 7, 2005).[4] The article attempted to classify biscuits via a scientific analysis of various features (size, shape, filling etc.) and determined that the Jaffa Cake should be regarded as a biscuit, or 'pseudobiscuit'.

EDIT: I love the fact they made a giant Jaffa Cake! Quality.

Fez will personally go on a date with everyone that votes Jammy Dodger! Jaffa-voters get Joeb!

So I paid an agency £45 when all I had to do was vote Jammy Dodger?

Madness (in biscuit form).

Yeah, it's amazing some of these special offers that pop up. Crazy world we live in.

I love the fact you have a Hefner inspired signature.

It's basically justified me constantly hassling people to listen to them.

Even if it is just the one song you like.

Oh and Fez - name the date.

Hymn for the Cigarettes is a fantastic song, I have to admit. Everyone should listen to it. Genuinely one of my favourite easy(-er) listening kind of songs, good find. Hello Kitten is 'OK', not like INCREDIBLE but a good song - I just really, really love those lyrics. Great imagery!

Only god know's mate, but the creation of the berry flavoured dawned a new era. The era of the Dodger, where the Dodger rules all biscuit barrels across the world :thumbup:

It's all over bar the crumbling.

The fat lady flexed her vocal chords then scoffed a packet of Jaffas.

It's Cookie vs the Jaffa in the final :thumbup:
