And other stories from the stranger side of life
Scientists have ruled that Jaffa Cakes, not digestives, are the most dunkable biscuits and not everyone has taken the news well. Researchers dunked 17 of the most popular biscuits into water at the average temperature of a cup of tea — between 70C and 75C — and noted how many dunks it took them to break apart. The Jaffa Cake withstood 116 dunks before breaking, while the Digestive lost its integrity after just six. The Daily Star said the claim is the “sickest thing you’ll read today” and there was anger on Twitter, where one user wrote that “if you dunk a Jaffa cake you should be f**king deported”.
