The world first LICKABLE elevator lined with 1,325 Jaffa Cakes

(Source: Dailymail)

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.'
