Advantages: most people like them

Disadvantages: I am not too keen

I have eaten many Jaffa cakes but I have not really enjoyed them, I was last tempted to try one at a kids party it was a burtons jaffa cake.
You can buy jaffa cakes at all supermarkets and often in other places selling biscuits like garages and newsagents.
Jaffa cakes do seem to be popular, but I am not desperately keen on them.
United biscuits market jaffa cakes; they are a Mac Vities product first produced over 60 yrs ago.
Now are they a cake or a biscuit? I think a cake do leave a note to tell me which you think they are.
Jaffa cakes come in a blue tube pkt with orange writing on, inside the tube are 15 cakes/biscuits.
Jaffa cakes can be readily found in all supermarkets and often in corner shops or garages selling foods.
At Tesco a pack costs 89p. Most stores make there own style of jaffa cake. 24 tesco value jaffa cakes cost 40p value, 36 slightly better tesco jaffa cakes cost £1.19p .

I do not believe you can have gone through your life with pout eating one of these unless you have a dairy or wheat allergy,
Well just in case you do not know what they are. A jaffa cake is a thin round disk of sponge type cake. A layer of orange jelly like stuff then covers this sponge. This then is covered in chocolate, which runs down the side of the cake biscuit.
I lift one to my mouth I can smell the chocolate and a sweet orange smell.
I take a bite and there is the orange jelly taste and a small chocolate taste, the sponge is quite dense I find the overall sensation a little sweet. Its very orangey. I taste another 2 bites and it is finished, all gone. I did not dislike it but my fingers were not ready to dive in for another one today. These cakes can be eaten by separating the chocolate from the orange with your teeth, then scooping the orange jelly onto your tongue and savouring that before you eat the sponge. People have all sorts of strange ways to eat these biscuit cakes.
These cakes are good for childrens parties, can be used as wheels to decorate a train cake, or eyes to make a clown face cake. I must be one of only a very few people to not really like these cakes /biscuits they taste very synthetic to me.

Each jaffa cake has 44 calories and only 1 gram of fat so not really terribly awful.
Thanks for the read Mary
