What better to do with the world’s steepest street, Baldwin Street in Dunedin New Zealand, than organise a jaffa roll – where numbered balls of chocolate coated with a hard sugary outer are sent flying down in a moving wall of red and orange. The fastest jaffas finish the 79% gradient street in around 15 seconds, raising money for local charities.

The Jaffa Ball Roll, although done with good intentions, has to be one of the most irresponsible ways to raise money while damaging the environment . I am surprised no one thought about finding a better healthier way to celebrate steep streets while helping the needy which does not include red dyed round chocolate candies. To add to this carelessness, chocolate is deadly for dogs!
Please try something that is round and safe next time.
