A cake-sized version of the Jaffa Cake is on sale in UK supermarkets from today (April 10)Named 'The Big One', the treat is effectively the same as a regular Jaffa Cake - with dark chocolate, sponge and an orange jam filling - but significantly larger.

I was not told either. Now at work and want one. Need one, now.
Delivery to choke-on-stench anyone?
Scotroutes, thank you. Thank you so very much.
Holy crap.
Shut up and take my money.
Visit to shop/supermarket for me tomorrow then
:0 I'm in for a bulk buy .....I'll take 100
Seriously considering going out and getting one right now!
Why only one per packet?
I have never ever used new fangled web type abbreviations in my life before but this is actually life changing and actually OMG!!
Cheers

I am not a fan
I want to see the tube the pack of 12 comes in.
Good Lord!
Would that buy you a full bike build at the lbs?

Then why comment on a thread so blatantly aimed at Jaffa Cake fans? Or is your opinion too important to be hidden from the internet?
Something I haven't seen here in the US (might be available, but never saw it), but it does look tasty!!!
Could one of you fax me one and I'll fax you the money right back.
Popped into my local Asda yesterday and couldn't find one, may go hunting again tomorrow......
That jaffa cake has given me a semi, I don't mind admitting it.

wwooooaahhh I didnt realise the jaffa cake was so sacrosanct,
in my defence the title was ambiguous, it didnt warn me of jaffa cake content, nor was there a disclaimer stating that only comments permitted be in praise of that nasty (supersized) processed synthetic circular nugget of cat faeces
next youll be telling me that only +ve comments be allowed on 29er threads
not my birthday till next week but its fat friday tomorrow - that justifys it !
going to the shop on the way to work !
13 days till my birthday,cake now chosen
Bring me my credit card and a phone.....
Want!
😆 I'm thinking that bickering over jaffa cakes is a new low for stw
If I die tomorrow I will rest easy knowing that from now, cakes can only get worse. This is the peak. 🙂

I'd be more worried if everybody started to agree about it to be honest
Yeah.... Birthdays on the 27th ....but Fat Fridays just so much closer 🙂
Nice find !

I'm a jaffa cake fan, but that's just wrong. The top bit, for example: it's got cake in it? No no NO. Wrong. The top bit is the jelly, not cake. Jelly in the middle? And the ratio of choc (I use the word advisedly) to cake is far too low.
No. This is a heresy, designed to cash in on the foolish.

I think you're just scared you'll like it too much 
Khani, very good
Suddenly carbo-loading is looking much more appealing... 🙂

Not one crumb of that filthy abomination shall pass my mouth.
Besides, I doubt they sell them here in Spain.
That takes the old 'is it a biscuit or is it a cake' debate out the back and shoots it in the head.

can someone have one and let us know what it's like?
I daren't buy one for fear of it being rank.
you'd be able to tast the individual bits too much won't you?
it's like eating the cream out of a custard cream and then the biscuit on its own - it doesn't taste good, but together they're immense.
did there used to be jaffa cakes that came in a dark red packet? what were they?
I believe they are layered, so you get a taste of each component in every bite.
What a sad bunch you are! 😆
That's going to cause some confusion in our trailbuilding sessions.
£7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes I know its a lot Pete but just think your keeping me in a job buying that 😀

No we make the flour for every Jaffa cake made 😀

Never meet your heroes, brakes, never meet your heroes...
Didn't they get a tax break as they claimed they were biscuits and not little cakes?
Maybe they will be made to pay all the unpaid tax now. Financial crisis sorted in the uk now!

The other way around. They proved they were cakes, not biscuits. The final proof was that biscuits go soggy as they age, cakes go hard....

Spot on
We did 15 trial flours for them till they decided they liked the 9th one best
As ever, I defer to my grandad's opinion, as he was one of the designers of the original jaffa cake:
"Of course it's a bloody biscuit"
Lots of biscuits get harder as they age, it's a load of cobblers.
like what? I can't think of one.
Most soft cookies, oat perkins, some jammie dodgers, some shortbreads...
Thread needs "mahoosivejaffacaketrackworld - will I die" as the title.
Can someone please send one to me in Australia?! I can't find Jaffa cakes here, only disgusting imposter ones, that one giant one may just make up the serious Jaffa deficiency I am experiencing!
Best thing about Jaffa cakes is when they are dipped in fresh espresso with a huge creme head on top. Simply Devine.
Don't think you'd get that one to fit in an espresso cup, well none of mine. I will try though, just for the sake of science.
I've never seen the appeal of something the texture of stale cake with chemically-tasting 'orange' gel in the middle and a cheap and nasty chocolate-like covering...
I have to say, I find Aldi's Jaffa cakes far more palatable *dons flame suit*
Where's my pitchfork.
Well? Has anyone tried one yet "in the name of science"?
VAT, init!They proved they were cakes, not biscuits
How much do they cost?
I diagree with Monkeychild, Lidl's are much much better.
phew! if they were sensibly priced I'd be seriously worried about becoming morbidly obese. It's like them pashmena fox forx and plastic santa cruz frames, I'll sit here and drool over pictures of them on the tinterweb, then I'll look at the price and think pffff no chance!£7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
unless you're asked to pay VAT on them in which case obviously it's a cake 🙂"Of course it's a bloody biscuit"
well i went to buy one for the office today cause im nice like that....
FAIL - it seems they are either a hoax or have not reached the north east yet.
tried two tescos and an asda.
Wheelie good - Member

Have a Tim Tam.
Where are you? We've got "British" shops that have them but you'll probably pay more than seven quid for them!

Hmm. Massive Jaffa cake. Bowl of espresso. I could live out my "Borrowers" fantasy.
Went to the supermarket on the way home tonight, sold out 🙁 I suspect will be going round a few other supermarkets this weekend
*gets in car and sets off on 72 mile journey to nearest proper supermarket in hope of oversized pleasure*
Nom nom nom. Two jaffa cakes with my morning coffee please!
None in my local "express" co-op, had to buy Turnocks Wafers instead... 😆
It's not up on the Tesco website yet either...
However, it seems they are not one to miss a trick:

I have high hopes for this as if Jaffa cake lovelyness is directly proportional to size, then it should be awesome. You see the 'mini Jaffa Cakes' are rank. Normal Jaffa cakes are lovely. I shall have to prove the theory!
Anyone actually managed to buy one yet? Or a hoax? Not listed on the McVitie's website...

Not a hoax - just got one from my local Morrisons. £7 tho! 😯
Youngest daughters birthday on Tuesday and she loves normal size jaffa cakes so I've either got to get her to have her birthday tea early or somehow resist while it sits in the cupboard for two days!
Tell her it's for science & get it eaten!!!!

That site has a link to their Facebook page, which has details of said cake.

Bloody hell it's a lot heavier that I thought
