It seems like a brilliant idea to life the mood of
workers - sticking more than 1,300 Jaffa Cakes to the walls of an office
block's lift.
But with the average person's tongue home to billions of bacteria, some
will ask if this outlandish stunt really is a good idea.

Food technicians and artists took a month to install the unique walls
inside the lift inside the offices of communications firm Engine in
Great Portland Street, central London.
McVitie's Jaffa Cakes said they took inspiration from the glass elevator
in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when making the lift.
Whether staff are keen to taste already-licked Jaffa Cakes (assuming
they don't go stale) remains to be seen.

McVitie’s Jaffa Cakes chief Philippa Tilley said: 'We are all about
bringing a bit more fun to life.
'This was the perfect way to get a little joy straight to stressed-out
office workers.'

Addressing the hygiene issue, a Jaffa Cakes spokesman said: 'The
wallpaper consists of Jaffa Cake-flavoured stickers which are removed
and replaced once licked.
'Once a Jaffa Cake flavoured spot is licked the spot is removed by a
lift attendant who is in the lift the whole time staff have access. His
job is to stop any licking crossover, and potential germ spreading.' |
