36 Answers
Firstly it was the Jaffa cake, now the chocolate snowball has fallen foul of judge's high standards of what makes a cake and what makes a biscuit. What do you think?

Like in the Jaffa Cake fiasco the company have been charging VAT for years. They now want a refund of the VAT. Will they return the VAT to the customers? No!

>>> if the makers call something a cake then it should be judged as a cake.
That's hardly right as any company could name their biscuits as cakes but that does not make them cakes.
It is all to do with VAT as value added tax is payable on chocolate-covered biscuits, but not on chocolate-covered cakes
This is why they called them a Jaffa Cake even though they are obviously a biscuit (even though a court ruled they are a cake so no VAT is paid on them).
If no VAT is added it makes them cheaper for people to buy.

I thought the comparison was whether snowballs were sweets (confectionery) or cakes.
To my mind they are clearly cakes ...far too big to be sweets.
If it was cakes or biscuits, whoever thought they might even possibly qualify as bicuits needs their head examining. There's nothing remotely biscuity about them.
