Advantages: Low in fat, easy to eat

Disadvantages: Small pack sizes that disappear quickly

What I love about Jaffa cakes is they are so low in fat at 1g per cake, the reason for this and I think McVities must have latched onto this - is that a box of 12 can really be eaten without realising you've got going. I have a theory on this - when i was a young girl Jaffa Cakes were massive - they have now been reduced in size by the good people at the factory and I can fit a whole in my mouth in one go (I know it's bad), none of the full moon, half moon that you see in the advert.

The jaffa cake itself is a cake biscuit, a cake type base, with an orange filling on top with the top half covered in chocolate. The most tried and tested method for eating by most I understand to be the nibble round the edge technique followed by the removal of the orange filling then devouring the remainder in one go.

For those that feel guilty about have eaten the 12 packs alone (!!) there are now larger pack sizes available (really just multiples of the 12 pack) so you can have 24 or 36, you can also get a roll / tube like pringles in with 15 in.

For jaffa addicts more support networks are becoming available and openly talked about in facebook, my space, bebo and you tube, as well as the jaffaholics website. But really what's missing from all of this is a revival of the munchkins - where are they now?

Summary: The definitive jaffa cake that is easily enjoyable
