As title.
-
Three.
Then three more a little later.
-
I see them as a "grazing" food stuff so I treat the consumption of said cake as an ongoing and unmeasurable process.
-
Over what time frame?
-
I'm not overly keen on jaffa cakes. I could eat quite a lot of them, quite quickly, but I'd rather have something tastier.
-
A scene on H-B-K-H, as recounted by Salvatore:
There was one of those 'what on earth are we doing here' moments sitting on the forecourt of the petrol station at Lütgenrode, sharing a meal of Jaffa Cakes and Pringles with eck, bodach and George, while the rain bucketed down. This was after a 140 km leg through the Harz and before a 130km leg to Messinghausen, which we rode straight through.
So my answer is: NO MORE. PLEASE :sick:
-
Probably ten. But I might feel a little ickky.
An ex of mine used to be able to eat a dozen creme eggs in one sitting. Four eggs, cup of tea, four eggs, more tea, four eggs. Remarkably, despite this sort of gluttony, she was a size ten.
-
I know a guy who ate a half-gross box of Cadbury's Flakes for charidee.
They didn't stay down long.
-
The name has become generic, I use Lidl ones as bonk food at the moment, they have a high ratio of filling and chocolate to cake, Asda ones have too much cake. I can eat trifle sponges as a snack though, and porridge oats straight from the packet. I could probably do about 50 of the Lidl ones with no real pause.
-
The trick is to pace yourself.
Nibble, don't stuff.
-
One is never enough. Two or three is optimal. I could perhaps eat ten in one go, but wouldn't really enjoy more than three. That goes for most biscuits or small cakes.
-
How many Jaffa Cakes do you reckon you could force someone to eat?
You know...before it felt cruel.
-
coop has a 2 for one offer on, so I might go try this out ;D
-
One packet straight, no pauses, I reckon. I don't know how many are in a packet, presumably it varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. After a cup of tea I could probably eat another half packet. But only if I was really hungry. It would depend on flavour too - I couldn't eat a whole packet of the toffee or caramel flavour. Nor the ones with white chocolate, but thankfully you don't see those often. These (http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://i90.twenga.com/zywnosc-i-napoje/ciastka-nadziewane/e.wedel-wedel-delicje-pomaranczowe-tp_3564756240654266562.png&imgrefurl=http://www.twenga.pl/dir-Zywnosc-i-napoje,Pieczywo-i-ciasta,Ciastka-nadziewane-21638&usg=__KJwKUA_x6RsPW-Rd-73W0BdNlXw=&h=100&w=100&sz=4&hl=pl&start=5&zoom=1&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=d7VXWSz48ov_nM:&tbnh=82&tbnw=82&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dwedel%2Bdelicje%2Bpomara%25C5%2584czowe%26um%3D1%26hl%3Dpl%26client%3Dopera-portal%26sa%3DG%26channel%3Dportal%26tbs%3Disch:1) are my favourite. I will now have to buy a packet so I can find out how many it has! :P
-
Like the Deer Hunter with Jafa Cakes.
MAU!
MAU!
DIDI MAU!

All of them, no problem.

*You have missed 3 out.
I assume you mean boxes.
-
I like to pop them in the freezer for a bit so you can nibble the now crunchy chocolate covering off first.
-
I was trained in the classic method of Jaffa cake eating. I lick the chocolate off, then use my incisors to strip the jelly, then eat the cake. Takes about 5 mins. So eating more than 20 is too time consuming, and my face would be totally covered in chocolate.
-
Sainsbury's ones seem identical to the real thing, except that the cellophane is clear and not orange. I used the cellophane from a real packet to make our outside light all warm and Christmassy last year.
-
Where's the option for none? :sick:

That means you managed to set fire to the wrapper doesn't it?
-
I have to admit that I have downed a box in one sitting. I could have eaten more...
-
I once went to a supermarket and took full advantage of bogof; I bought a crate of 15 boxes and got another crate of 15 free!
-
I have to be absolutely ravenous to even consider just one....but it has been done :sick:
Devil's haemmeroids(sp) :facepalm:
-
Devil's hammerite? That's toffee!

I had six during team meeting this morning. I could easily have managed several more but I didn't want to appear greedy.
-
Jaffa cakes dipped in a glass of ice cold milk.
Tears of joy.
:'(
-
fiddy. I could eat fiddy j-cakes.
-
Why are there numbers? Numbers mean the jaffa cakes end. :'(
Moar!
I'll effortlessly polish off a three-pack of packs without even noticing.
-
Good morning children (http://www.youtube.com/v/Yi49wGwnagw?fs=1&hl=en_GB)

I could eat over 50, I reckon.

In fact, to use the motif de jour:

Exactly

And if you need pudding, you can microwave them too :thumbsup:
-
Or cover them in custard.
Or DUNK them in custard.
*horrid moment*
Please say they're veggie, or I'll be sad. :o
-
They are veggie. I just looked it up for you specially.
Tesco Value ones are vegan, apparently!
-
I prefer to buy packs of 12 because once open thy are finished so packs of 24 are bad for the waist line and 36s are not allowed in the house.
-
Please say they're veggie, or I'll be sad. :o
Oh yes, I read the ingredients during team meeting four times.
-
Three.
Then three more a little later.
+1
-
Cheapskate that I am, I eat Sainsbury's Basics Jaffa Cakes at 24 for 72p. The cake is not the screaming yellow of others, which is no disadvantage.
-
Tesco's are good as well :thumbsup:
-
I have just eaten three lovely fresh Jaffa cakes from my new Sainsbury's packet. I'm sure I could eat more but I don't want to. Three is an answer but not an option at the head of this thread.
-
One packet straight, no pauses, I reckon. I don't know how many are in a packet, presumably it varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.
Real Jaffa Cakes have 12.
This is considered the optimal number to accompany a cup of tea.
If you're having a pot of tea, then obviously you need more packets of Jaffa Cakes.
Mind you, after two packets I begin to feel a little guilty. ;D
-
You gluttonous bunch of fucks!
I shall be checking through the various weight loss discussion threads to see if there is a correlation between posting in those threads and a voracious appetite for Jaffa cakes. Then I shall start to make rude comments :P
-
You know infinity?
That many.
-

You're only saying that becasue you haven't got any, aren't you? ;) :-*
-
There are 5 left in this packet in front of me, and I'm feeling "no thanks...".
Ergo 7.
The packets have twelve - for sharing equally between 2, 3, 4 or 6 people. But I've just eaten a prime number, and leaving another prime number of cakes in the packet.
-
Looking at the votes so far, there's a point somewhere above 50 Jaffa cakes which is like the sound barrier in aeronautics. It takes dedication, patient research and practice to push through it but, once you do, the sky's the limit. You see, hardly anyone stops at 100.

Is that some kind of euphemism? Are you suggesting that I'm a Jaffa?!!

Given your reputation, it seems like a wise precaution to have taken ;)
-
Right, in the interests of scientific research, I took myself down to Sainsbury's today as they're doing a half-price offer on Jaffa Cakes.
So far I have established that 12 can be eaten without a thought otherwise. One large cup of tea helps.
I'll report back on further experiments as I had a large dinner and now am too full to eat any more. :-[

Pimp that Jaffa Cake! (http://www.pimpthatsnack.com/project/351/)
How many of those bad boys eh?!
-
Four if they're co-op jaffa cakes rather than McVities.
[/serious scientific research]
-
Lots.
And then one more a bit later.

There weren't nearly enough for serious research :(

I can just about manage 20ish before feeling like I'm going to burst.

A better question. I shall do field research when I next have any Jaffa cakes.
-
I'm going to make me one of those . . .

Plus, I train hard. The training is the same time and effort that is required to run a marathon.
-
Florida man...
-
My suspicion is that 100 would be round about the point that I idly started thinking "That's probably quite a lot. Should maybe have been counting. Hang on, how many in a box...?" by which point another dozen or so would be dispatched.
I think "All of them" (or, at the very least "More than you") is probably the answer.
-
No idea. I've never reached my limit. I always run out of jaffa cakes long before I want to stop eating them.
-
I've just noticed there are 10 in a pack. I thought there were 12. Is this is a recent change or has it always been 10?
-
all of them
-
In case the situation wasn't bad enough already, these exist

So, whatever the McVittie number is ^2

They make jaffa cakes seem like filth.
-

I suspect it's a recent thing. Inspired by this thread I couldn't resist a box. The box could accommodate 12-14, the plastic contained 10. The box could contain cakes with a diameter of this, the cakes had a diameter of this.
Modern life is rubbish.
-
The box was also emblazoned with "
£1.29 RRP £1 RRP" so could be one of those "special cheap but works out more per item" reductions.
-

£1 for 10 is better than £1.29 for 12. Unless you want 12, in which case you ARE going to buy two boxes and eat all 20.
-
Yes, assuming it ever was actually sold at £1.29 for 12.
-
In a previous employ I had a pair of colleagues who entertained themselves (and the rest of us) with food challenges. Chris would set challenges for Dan, who always succeeded.
His height in Jaffa Cakes was one such. He's about 5'10".
I reckon I could match that. And not just my 5'3"

It's a recent (ish) thing: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/sep/26/jaffa-cakes-pack-size-cut-shrinkflation-mcvities-cadbury

Unless they've also reduced the size of the individual cakes, which is quite plausible. We'd need to know the net weight to be sure.
They could also have changed the proportions - more cake, less chocolate, less smashing jaffa orangey bit.
-
PS for those of you too young to remember 'smashing jaffa orangey bit':
https://youtu.be/xqkP8ZIPRQk
-
Each cake is 12.2g according to the packet, which I've just retrieved from the waiting-to-be-recycled box. Of course we'd have to find an old packet to compare.
-
Not as many as Paul Newman
-
I'll take a piece of that action.
-
Jaffa cakes were invented in 1927. I shoe-horned that piece of trivia into a speech I gave at my Dad's 90th birthday party.
-
Perhaps for their centenary they'll produce a special 100-pack. Would that be big enough for the Jaffa cake lovers? Probably not.
-

Shrinkflation innit?
The biggest boxes are 3x11 Jaffa cakes.
The other packs are 10s and 2x10s
ETA Sainsbury's own brand Jaffa Cakes are 24 (2x12) for £1.20 but not listed at my branch.

This sounds like gearing systems!
-
The box size shrunk from 12 to 10 a few years back, amid much reassurance that the cakes themselves remained the same. When looking that up I did spot various larger packs including a yard (which shrank by 4 inches), 100 and 180 cake packs.

Has anyone worked out how many this is (for either LCC, or "Dan")
