McVitie has published the UK’s best biscuit museum with a warning that has been controversial for a long time on one of its favorite refreshments.

In an article on Instagram, the Peek Frean Museum announced the news that McVitie’s jaffa cakes wanted to önüş the last to remove the last to add to the biscuit museum because of false classification ”.
The question of whether a Jaffa cake is a cake or biscuit is one of the hot controversial debates of England, dividing social media saliva and household peoples.
Although Jawa cakes can be found in the biscuit corridor of the country’s supermarkets, McVitie’s always claimed that Jaffa cakes are not biscuits, but by definition cakes.
The company’s latest warning serves to remind the official status of fans and museums.
In the letter, he writes: “Dear Sirs, Madame and Biscuit enthusiasts,
“In the biscuit museum, we noticed that it contains the modest Jaffa cake to the biscuit exhibition.
“Let us be open: Jawa cakes are actually cakes. Not biscuits. Not hybrid snacks. Only cakes. Some say that the clue was on the box.”
The letter continued to explain: “The cakes harden while stale. Biscuits soften.”
According to the curator, the exhibition was temporarily removed-but the McVitie’s and the museum do not accept a long-term solution yet.
In response to the exhibition launch, a spokesman of McVitie said: “Look, we love a biscuit as good as the next snack enthusiast, but we must draw the line somewhere and the enthusiasm of this line.
Gary Magold, the curator of the biscuit museum, said: “This is a shame – we had to remove the exhibition right now. But we hope that we can reach an agreement as a country of Jaffa cake lovers.”
