In 1997, Jaffa Cakes launched a line of weird little koosh ball monsters called Orangey Tangs. I might be the only person alive who cares.
Orangey Tangs: Jaffa Cake Monsters (Heaving Toy Chest)

I remember these.
I used to enjoy the sound it made when I plucked the elastic stuff
Have a fun weekend everyone.
Thank god for Stephanie Sterlings Heaving Toychest.
Awww man I remember those things, the online game they had for them was great too.
I remember playing with these and having literally no idea what they were. Thanks for solving a random childhood puzzle for me ^^
I would watch a film in this style. Good on you Steph
Had to watch just because I remembered having one as a kid only for a younger sibling to chew all its limbs off. Cain instinct was strong that day.
The vintage commercials always put a smile on my face. One of my favorite things about this channel.
It’s ok Steph. You could do a video on Jaffe cakes
It’s nice to know I’m not the only person who’s Transylvanian accent dips into Jamaican from time to time.
Oh god I used to have one of these!
Also, Jaffa Cakes are amazing.
I’m ancient too, but never got to see these being based in the US. Honestly many of these toys I’ve never really seen; the toys of yesteryear were so weird. Love this stuff!
Steph, I’m a full grown adult and I watched you do this video.
Don’t get mad at yourself, please?
We had Smurfs, and the California Raisins. And the Noid. And trollz. (They raped us)
I never knew these existed. Personally, I think they’re adorable. Tiang (sp?) is my fave.
I’ve always adored your toy obsession. And I’m 40. So no complaining. Wear it like a badge of honor. Or a pretty ribbon? (I don’t effing care, just wear it)
Happy Holidays Sterling.
(Orange is my favorite color)
So this is weird.
I’ve had this username for about 20 years now and this is the first time anyone has ever acknowledged the existence of these other than me.
“Who cares about this?”
Me, apparently. And Ms Sterling. Seems like it’s an exclusive club.
I do love a few good Jaffa Cakes now and then. I say a few, because it’s hard not to smash back half a pack, since they’re basically snack cakes.
In fact, there was a court case involving Jaffa Cakes, since in the UK our VAT doesn’t apply to certain items. VAT is applied to biscuits, but not to cakes, since cakes are considered an essential or something. So McVities basically made a giant one to prove that Jaffa Cakes were indeed cakes, so that despite being the same shape and size as biscuits, Jaffas could be regarded as cakes in the eyes of the mighty taxman.
The key is in how biscuits and cakes “degrade”: biscuits tend to go soft as they draw in atmospheric moisture, while cakes go hard as they lose moisture and dry out.
The editing in this is genuinely lovely 🙂
