Kees	Posted - 2004.11.16 14:04:00 - [31] There was something on the telivision recently that explained that McVities actually proved a Jaffa Cake was a cake. Apparently this was because if it was a biscuit the chocolate meant that VAT would have to be paid on it. As a cake, even though there is chocolate, no VAT needs to be paid. ------------------------------ Refiner, Manufacturer, Researcher, Hunter, Adviser, Hauler, anything but miner!

Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as a vegetable. its a supermarket term, not a botanical one. A fruit is the swollen ovary of a flower, with the fertilised seeds inside the fruit. The fruit is there to entice an animal to ingest it and thus carry the seed to somewhere else. Many plants classed as vegetables, ie the bit we eat which is the root, disperse their seeds via the air, and are not classed as fruit bearing plants. Hope that explains it. -------------------------------------------- Misomusic!

Estios	Posted - 2004.11.17 12:27:00 - [45] 2. Not really just my 'Opinion' , more a proven fact that Jaffa Cakes are in fact cakes. When trading there is a TAX which is applied to Biscuit products and not cakes. Therefore it was in McVities interest to label these cakes but a few years ago the Inland Revenue contested this claim. The predominant difference between the two product groups is that when they go stale Cakes go hard and Biscuits go soft. Thats the laymans understanding and is how they actually decide. McVities showed evidence that Jaffa cakes in fact go hard when they become stale, hence they are still known as cakes and thus have less tax. So HMV consider Andy Williams and Dean Martin to be "easy listening" do they? Tell that to my mate Dave, he's been deaf for 20 years.
