My biscuits go soft, but my cake goes hard if I leave the packet open?

Just have to make sure I scoff 'em all as soon as I open the packet

Same reason as your willy goes hard and your head goes soft when a woman opens her bra I guess

biscuits are dry and take moisture from the air and go soggy, cake contains water and it evaporates so the cake goes hard...yawn

Now I am really confused cos I know that my willy often contains water and that my head is mostly fat and water so why do they both go soft but only one go hard

Not true Jack. Jaffa cakes are officially biscuits, I left a packet open and they started soft and ended up hard

Jaffa Cakes are cakes and not biscuits. They do go hard if you let them go stale. Just looked on Wikipedia

Isn't it against the law to open a packet of Jaffa cakes and not eat them all at once? Z

ok so what was it that M&S fought tooth & nail over with the Inland Revenue to differentiate between a cake and a biscuit? As that difference made big difference to the products VAT rating

I must be really really bored too!

It was the makers of Jaffa Cakes that had the fight with the Inland Revenue to prove that Jaffa Cakes were a cake and not a biscuit.

Cakes are not classed as a treat like biscuits are by the VAT man so cakes are zero rated whereas biscuits have 17.5% VAT added to them, soon to rise to 20% in the new year.

Right, I'm sending myself to sleep now too, so no more cake/biscuit chat from me tonight!

.

Biscuit being lower in moisture content than the atmosphere, it will absorb moisture until it reaches an equilibrium with the atmosphere.

The opposite is true with a cake, being higher in moisture than the atmosphere, it will loose moisture until it reaches equilibrium.

Seemples!

I don't care if they're a cake or a biscuit they don't last long enough for me to experiment on them

That can't be true. My moms rock cakes are harder tham meteorites. They'd absorb so much moisture the fookin rain forests would all wilt and wither away
