Glasgow is still in disagreement over Jaffa Cakes after Nicola Sturgeon re-ignited the debate last month.
A graffiti by a Glasgow pedestrian bridge weighing in on the decades-long debate has been shared on social media.
Labelled "the political issue that splits", the graffiti references the First Minister's recent comment that Jaffa Cakes are biscuits.
The graffiti reads: "Sturgeon lied. Jaffa Cakes aren't biscuits."
The topic was brought up during a coronavirus briefing when Nicola Sturgeon said: "In my humble opinion, a Jaffa Cake is definitely a biscuit.
"That's probably one of the more controversial things I've said, and a brief attempt at humour in an otherwise difficult time."
But legally the graffiti-maker is right, after the treats were the subject of a VAT tribunal in 1991.
During this, McVitie’s successfully defended their classification as cakes.
One social media user wrote: "The clue is in the fact they start soft and go hard when left to go stale."
