As an aside, the company that makes Jaffa Cakes, a popular biscuit in the UK, went to court to get their biscuits counted as cakes. Cheaper VAT. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaffa_Cakes#Cake_or_biscuit.3F

This varies by tax jurisdiction. For a while in Washington State, snickers bars were taxed as candy but Twix were tax-free because they were "groceries"....
