Jaffa Cakes are a staple - but are the original McVitie products the best?
Although the famous debate has settled, and the McVitie's staple is now legally determined to be a cake, they're still a popular choice on biscuit aisles up and down the country. Luckily, the Liverpool ECHO team isn't fussed about whether an afternoon office treat is a biscuit or cake, so put supermarket Jaffa Cakes to the test.
Surprisingly, McVitie's Jaffa Cakes were cheaper than Asda's own version because of an offer at the store. A 10-pack of McVitie's Jaffa Cakes was reduced from £1.25 to 85p, compared to Asda's 12-pack, which was price marked at 95p.A lot of the team was able to suss out the original. Audience editor Paul Philbin thought it was "so obvious that A was the original and best Jaffa Cake".
Similarly, video reporter Alice Walker thought the original had a nice taste. She added: "I liked the flavouring of the jelly inside because it was strong and fruity but the outside was dry." Nostalgia reporter Jess Molyneux said: "Compared to the others I tested, this option of Jaffa Cake was slightly smaller. While it tasted good, the thickness of the chocolate meant it broke away easily and for me, I wasn't a big fan of the texture of the orange jelly on this one."
