Remember those long tubes that used to appear in the supermarkets around this time of year?

Used to solve a few problems when looking for presents.

Can I blame Trump and brexit or am I shopping in the wrong stores?

No yards anymore? Down to 10 per packet in the supermarkets? The end is most certainly nigh!

Metric system innit?

Bloody Europe and their standard, easy to count measurements.

Roll on Brexit , I say.

Still available:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Jaffa-Cakes-Yard-of/dp/B00GVT5CG6

It is, however, considerably more expensive than 4 packs of Jaffa Cakes!

There were some in my local Spar.
I didn't buy any because I'd eat them all in one go 😮

After Brexit, it became too expensive, so had to be abandoned....

We did the yard of Jaffa cakes as a challenge at work a couple of Xmas's ago, Jeez they get sickly when you get on to the fourth packet 😀

Referencing jimdoubleyou's post up there ^ ^ and paying homage to Viz's Top Tips "Save money this festive season and make your own Yard* Of Jaffa Cakes by simply sellotaping four packets of normal Jaffa Cakes together end to end".

Iceland have some big boxes of "Christmas" Jaffa Cakes. (My mum told me)

[url= http://groceries.iceland.co.uk/mcvities-100-jaffa-cakes-mega-box/p/70273 ]100 for £4[/url].
Not such a 'fun' shaped box admittedly.

They definitely still exist, got my lad one for his 2nd birthday because I thought it may be taller than him...
