Jaffa Cakes are Evil

Can a biscuit be evil? If it could, Jaffa Cakes would top the list. There's something about that orangey bit that just makes you go, "oh, just one more then". I wish I knew why, that way I could counteract the effect.

Maybe there are clinics. A detox programme tempting patients with Jammy Dodgers or something. I could start a whole new science.

When I travel the world, food products always seem to have the most amount of culture associated with them.

Now, I know that sounds strange but approach an English man and say "Twinkie" to him and he'll look at you like you're an idiot. Say the same to an American and he'll suddenly become a kid again thinking of that cream-filled sponge.

Try "Kraft Dinner" on a Canadian or "Veggiemite" on an Australian, they all evoke deep cultural ties drawing people back to childhood.

Now admittedly in the 21st century that's not a fantastic view of humanity, but drawing people back to their youthful past is probably where history and nostalgia start.
