Rice Krispie Quandary

**joeSoap** · 18/08/2006, 9:59 AM

Listening to the Ray D'Arcy show this morning and they had a huge debate about whether or not those lovely things are known as:

a). Rice Krispie Buns
b). Rice Krispie Cakes.

To me they're buns....always have been, always will be. But a lot of people think they're cakes.....

What do you think??

Oh cakes for sure. For me a bun is like sponge

**The Stars** · 18/08/2006, 10:09 AM

Bun.....that is what they are called so no need to complicate the situation.

**sligoman** · 18/08/2006, 10:10 AM

Definitely cakes. Now you've made me think of them, I want one

.

Gonna add a poll to get a true reflection.

They are buns, always have been always will

Rice Krispie Buns.

They're served in those little bun cases/wrappers so they're buns

FACT

The dictionary doesn't help, with its two definitions;

A). a solid food made by baking a mixture of flour, fat, eggs, sugar, etc.

B). a solid block of a particular substance, eg soap, chocolate, etc.

A would mean its a bun, but B would mean its a cake.

Of course the fookers at Rice Krispies only complicate matters even more....they call them 'Treats'

It's always been a "cake" for me. Bun just sounds wrong...

**babydol** · 18/08/2006, 10:31 AM

definately a bun!

**noby** · 18/08/2006, 10:36 AM

Bun, surely. If someone offered me a Rice Krispie cake, I would expect something with at least an 8" diamater, and would be very disappointed at only getting a bun.

For me, cakes are big, buns are small (with the exception of queen cakes, and jaffa cakes).

I can honestly say that before that ad, I had never heard of a Rice Crispy Bun. The entire idea of it being anything other than a Rice Crispy Cake is simply preposterous.

alway has been a bun and always will be

**pete** · 18/08/2006, 10:46 AM

Always called them cakes.

Of course Kellogg’s call them Treats.

Definitely a bun, it's blasphemy to insult them with the term 'cake'..

**Dricky** · 18/08/2006, 11:33 AM

ohhhh this is a can of worms!! cake or bun could have huge ramifications right across the treat world.

Is it a fairy cake, fairy bun or a fairy cake bun???

See if they had only been around a few years the copyright would help decided..
