It’s an age old debate amongst the British public and it’s one that we just can’t seem to settle on, no matter how hard we try. Now though, it’s time to throw a new element into the mix and it’s one that is probably only going to make things worse.
What is the correct way to eat a Jaffa Cake?
You’re likely not alone if you’ve never actually considered if there is a correct and incorrect way to eat a Jaffa Cake, but McVities itself – the manufactures of the leading Jaffa Cake variety – has responded to a fan who asked them this very question and people just can’t believe the answer.
The question asked relates to if there is a top and a bottom to a Jaffa Cake, as in, is the chocolate side the top? Or is the cake side the top? And therefore, which way up should it be held when eating?

It’s a confusing concept.
So, to get to the bottom of this, a Jaffa Cake fan – who goes by the name of David on social media – went directly to the verified official Jaffa Cake page and simply asked “What side of the Jaffa is the bottom?”.

A screenshot of the conversation – which was then shared to the ever-popular Family Lockdown Tips & Ideas page on Facebook – shows the company’s response and it reads: “Hi David, our Jaffa Cakes go through a reservoir of chocolate, so the chocolate is on the bottom.
“Thanks, Jaffa Cakes.”

Well, then.

Does this mean we’ve actually been eating Jaffa Cakes wrong our entire lives?
David – who was clearly shocked by the confirmation – responded to Jaffa Cakes by aptly writing: “WTF dude” and he’s certainly not the only one, as not only has the post gone on to receive thousands of interactions and shares in the Facebook group, but it seems to have blown people’s minds a bit.
One person wrote: “OMG just turned my world upside down,”
Another wrote: “Am I the only one who always thought the chocolate was the bottom anyway?”
And a third – who appeared to add some confusion into the mix due to the box shows the chocolate on top – said: “on the box it’s on the top?”

But the response we can relate to most reads: “Who cares? Just shove ’em in your gob,” because let’s face it, despite this “correct” revelation, Jaffa Cakes are tasty whichever way you eat them and you can continue consuming them in the same way you always have done.
You do you.

Ruben Amorim has been sacked by Manchester United

Ruben Amorim has officially been sacked by Manchester United.
The Portuguese head coach managed more than a year in charge of the Red Devils, but following a bad record overall, not to mention a blockbuster interview over the weekend, they have now parted ways.
Now fully confirmed by the club itself, Amorim’s 14-month stint as Man United boss is over, and an interim manager has already been put in place.
Writing in an official statement, MUFC said: “Ruben Amorim has departed his role as Head Coach of Manchester United.
“Ruben was appointed in November 2024 and led the team to a UEFA Europa League Final in Bilbao in May.
“With Manchester United sitting sixth in the Premier League, the club’s leadership has reluctantly made the decision that it is the right time to make a change. This will give the team the best opportunity of the highest possible Premier League finish.
“The club would like to thank Ruben for his contribution to the club and wishes him well for the future.”
For many supporters, it was abundantly clear that an ultimatum was likely, if not already imminent, after his visibly frustrated post-match press conference following the 1-1 draw against Leeds.
There were already reports of growing friction between Amorim and the director of football, Jason Wilcox, and his bombshell quotes on Sunday, 4 December, only added fuel to the fire.
In case you haven’t seen it, you can see the clip in question down below.
United have also confirmed that former player Darren Fletcher will be leading out the squad (which includes his twin sons, Jack and Tyler) in their next game against Burnley this Wednesday, 7 January.
As for who could be installed next, the recently resigned Enzo Maresca has already been linked with the manager’s position, and plenty are already speculating as to which sidelined/loaned-out players could return to the club following his exit.
Regardless of a wealth of initial backing by the INEOS Sports board members, in the summer transfer window, as well as from the majority of players and countless fans, Amorim exits the club with one of the worst win percentages in their history and just 15 victories to his name in nearly half a century of games.
How would you sum up the 40-year-old’s time at Old Trafford, Reds?
Leigh Leopards star Tesi Niu accused of abuse by partner
Danny Jones
Leigh Leopards star Tesi Niu has been accused of physical and mental abuse by a person purporting to be his partner.
The allegations were made on Niu’s own Instagram, who has seemingly commandeered the account to share claims across social media along with various photos, which are yet to be fully substantiated.
An Australian-born former NRL athlete and Tongan international, Tesi Niu, has gone on to become an important first-team squad member for the Greater Manchester rugby club and has been a popular personality among the supporters.
With that in mind, the alleged abuse is one that has deeply troubled the fan base.
Accusations of alleged physical abuse have been made against Leigh Leopards centre Tesi Niu by his partner.
As you can see in the screenshots originally posted on Niu’s own channel and since reshared online, the individual who names herself as Kiani alleges that the 24-year-old rugby league player assaulted her on Christmas Day 2025 before going out and getting drunk.
In addition to sharing pictures of various bruises around her neck, shoulders and arms, the woman also writes that he took her phone and money to prevent her from leaving, as well as detailing that she is now pregnant with their third child.
Kiana Smith has been his partner for more than half a decade.
Circulating online over the weekend (4-5 January 2026), a full investigation into the claims is now thought to be underway.
Neither Tesi Niu’s representation nor Leigh Leopards have yet come out to comment on the allegations, but the Rugby Football League (RFL) have shared an official update regarding the situation.
You can see the rest of the IG stories down below.
As per a statement supplied to News.com.au, the English governing body said: “The RFL are aware of the social media posts. We will not be making further comment at this time.”
Anyone looking to report abusive behaviour can call the Greater Domestic Abuse Helpline, Monday to Friday from 10am-4pm, on 0800 254 0909.
