Today, I went to Lidl to buy the cheapest jaffa cakes I could. They cost 35p. When I was eating them later on I put the plastic wrapper onto the side. When I'd finished eating my jaffa cakes I went to pick up the wrapper... The dog had eaten it. Cost me a £150 vet bill. Most expensive jaffas I've ever had. FML

Lidi? Jaffa cake? 35p? Could one of you Brits help us Yanks out with these terms?

Lidls - a very cheap store where they stock several immatatory brands with products in packaging designed to look like more well known ones. Basically own brand shit; and they have everything in crates and random crap around the store, they dont really even have shelves. i went in there for a bottled water once, and they dont do evian, volvic - whatever. eww. jaffa cakes - personally i hate them. like sponge cake at the bottom, orange gelly in the middle and a thin layer of chocolate on top. orangey chocolatey mini buiscut cake. ew. 35p - thirty five pence. for jaffa cakes, thats cheap. theyre probably about £2 for a packet normally. thus, op will probably get food poisoning.

Lidl is a cheap supermarket in the UK. p = pence, 100 pence = £1 kinda like how 100 cents = $1

#20, OMG THEY DONT SELL EVIAN???? Why didn't you just give up living right there and then? Heaven forbid, you didn't actually get desperate enough to drink TAP water from the British Isles, did you? Hope you recovered from your cholera. A huge chunk of the world has no clean water whatsoever and you're complaining that a discount store doesn't sell overpriced mountain juice? Admittedly, other mineral water isn't as nice but for god's sake, have some kind of sense of proportion. I have consumed several bottles of Lidl 25p water and I am alive and well.

i mean they didnt have any plain water... they had flavoured shit. and i was out, so obviously i wouldnt have had access to tap water. some of us have these things called standards; if i would rather have something of higher quality and its in my power to get it, ill bloody well get it. dont cry because mummy rations your water.

Well, I'm no Brit but .... Jaffas : a kind of cake (not the alien race in Star Gate SG-1) quite appreciated in the British Isles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaffa_Cakes Lidl : a discount supermarket chain (famous in Europe), contrary to other low-cost grocery stores, their products ARE edible, hence the OP's buying the Jaffa at Lidl. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lidl 35p: about 57 US cents. (£1=$1.62) www.xe.xom Will Her Magesty's subjects please correct me if I'm wrong ?

@#28 - No, they're definitely not the same company. They're both of German origin, but they're completely different companies. Although they're both supermarkets, they sell different brands.

The spelling looks German. And I know for a fact Aldi is German.

I'm from America and I know what Jaffa Cakes are; I eat them and I know various places to buy them. I apologize that some idiots give America a bad name by being so ethnocentric. Even if you don't know what they are, typing a word or two into a search engine is not hard, people. In any case, you have no idea what you are missing. I swear, the UK has some of the most amazing biscuits and candy bars; thank God for import candy shops. The closest thing we have to Jaffa Cakes are LU Pims.
