I’m livid.

The number of Jaffa Cakes per pack has been decreased from 12 per pack to 10. The boxes now weigh 4.3oz instead of the previous 5.2oz, however, McVitie’s has reduced the price to 99p, from £1.15. Twin packs which now contain 20 instead of 24 cakes are now £1.89 rather than £2.19.

Everyone’s as angry as I am.

The firm said there had been no changes to the size or shape or weight of the cakes in the Jaffa Cake range, however. Still no less annoying though. Still, every cloud:

RIP my eating habits.
