Daggers Posted 15 May 2007 Posted 15 May 2007 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!
Dames Posted 15 May 2007 Posted 15 May 2007 Was a hard choice but the cookie and the dodger get my votes.
lildave3 Posted 15 May 2007 Posted 15 May 2007 You've robbed me of my dream final Ah well, Cookie and the....Jaffa Cake.
James. Posted 15 May 2007 Posted 15 May 2007 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.

The People's Hero Posted 15 May 2007 Posted 15 May 2007 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).
Finnegan Posted 15 May 2007 Posted 15 May 2007 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.
The People's Hero Posted 15 May 2007 Posted 15 May 2007 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.
Finnegan Posted 15 May 2007 Posted 15 May 2007 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!
Wezleylowski Posted 15 May 2007 Posted 15 May 2007 :w00t: Since when?!!!?! 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
Daggers Posted 15 May 2007 Author Posted 15 May 2007 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 Not in this competition it doesn't...it's out 19-18. 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
