Popularity and distribution in recent years [ edit ] A Pimm's stand set up at a music festival using a converted bus as a bar These turned out exactly as I remember them from the first time I enjoyed them as a young exchange student in Europe. A light fluffy cake, a bright hit of fruit and velvety chocolate. I can’t think of a better combination to celebrate the holidays! Davies, E. R. (2003).

Because McVitie's did not register the name "Jaffa Cakes" as a trademark, other biscuit manufacturers and supermarkets have made similar products under the same name. [3] The product's classification as a cake or biscuit was part of a VAT tribunal in 1991, with the court finding in McVitie's favour that Jaffa Cakes should be considered cakes and not biscuits for tax purposes. [4] In 2012 they were ranked the best selling cake or biscuit in the United Kingdom. [5] McVitie and Price's Jaffa Cakes Manufacture Graves, Mark; Batchelor, Bruce (2003).

Over the years, Pimm's extended their range, using other spirits as bases for new "cups". After World War II, Pimm's No. 4 Cup was invented, followed by Pimm's No. 5 Cup and Pimm's No. 6 Cup in the 1960s.The court was adjudicated by Mr Donald Potter QC, who found in favour of McVitie's and ruled that whilst Jaffa Cakes had characteristics of both cakes and biscuits, the product should be considered a cake and not a biscuit, meaning that VAT is not paid on Jaffa Cakes in the United Kingdom.
