Don't you just love it when a company that makes stuff you like comes out as being ethically sound? [[https://mobile.twitter.com/ALLIANCELGB/status/1451448320522661900]] What a wonderful excuse to add chocolate tea cakes and caramel wafer biscuits to my next grocery order.

My shopping app has crashed, do you think a run on Tunnock’s is the cause?

KittenKong · 23/10/2021 09:54

It’s a different biscuit. Similar names though. You need to buy one of each for a comparison...

Is the coconut identifying as caramel or something? #NoThankYou

I went to a ceilidh in Edinburgh a while back and they had proper Scottish food and drink - Tunnock's tea cakes and caramel logs, shortbread and Irn Bru. Fabulous

I want this... tunnocks.orbgroup.co.uk/teacake-10oz-cotton-shopper

KittenKong · 23/10/2021 09:27

No - I’m pretty sure there are the coconut logs... must check their website tunnocks.co.U.K...

THEY DO COCONUT WAFERS???? This is brand new (and very welcome) information!

Think they're called caramel logs.

What???

I once, briefly, thought my dog had testicular cancer. It was after a family birthday party and I picked him up and discovered a large, flesh-coloured lump on his genitals. Upon further, panicked, investigation it turned out he'd managed to get half a Tunnock's Teacake stuck to the side of his balls and he'd licked most of the chocolate off.

This would make an excellent All Creatures Great and Small storyline. James goes home to Scotland to visit the folks, then returns to Darroby with a box of his favourite Tunnocks tea cakes, that he stashes under the bed to stop Tristan and Siegfried scoffing them all. Tricky-woo is sent for a vacation with Uncle Herriot and discovers said stash, resulting in the unfortunate teacake stuck to balls incident described by Esme. Mrs Pomfrey and Siegfried in momentary panic at Tricky developing a tumour, only for the truth to out on closer inspection, and James being forced to share his stash with the rest of the family.

Tunnocks treat their staff like shite (covid hotspot because they forced them into work after positive tests etc), fund the Tories and happily sold their Scottish heritage down the river in a bid to support the Union and Brexit. I really don't think this was a coincidence.

My phone background image is actually a display of caramel wafers - taken at a conference a few years back.

They were perfectly laid out on a white tablecloth, each uniformly balanced on the edge of white China coffee mugs (all handles facing the same way). All biscuits at the same angle, the cups set out in a perfect wedge. Whoever laid that out - well I was impressed!

It just appealed to me - the symmetry and the surprise of going to a Scandinavian companies event and finding caramel logs. People were there from all over the world and I was encouraging them to eat the strange biscuits (people were sticking them in their pockets to take home at the end).

Public service announcement:
Iceland website has Snowballs, milk chocolate wafers and caramel logs
Asda website has milk and dark chocolate wafers and teacakes
Co-op website has milk chocolate wafers and teacakes

I've fallen out with Tesco so won't be checking their site

I’m on a diet but the local food bank will be getting Tunnock’s tea cakes this weekend.

Copy of the quote "Gender critical is used to describe those who believe people cannot change biological sex."

10 years ago we called those people "sane" and "biologically literate".

GAHgamel · 23/10/2021 02:57

Not fussed about the teacakes, and the snowballs taste slightly chemically to me these days, but I loved them when I was a kid. The dark chocolate wafers (the ones in the blue wrappers) are a fixture in my online shopping basket though, and I was bereft when there was that period when they couldn't be had for love nor money.

MiladyBerserko · 23/10/2021 00:42

Teacakes are overrated. Caremel Logs are the best.

TonyThreePies · 23/10/2021 00:04

I'm a happy Teacake Eating Rad Fem, will buy some tomorrow if they haven't sold out. The DM article is like satire

Selkiesarereal · 22/10/2021 23:55

Getting a little concerned over the panic buying of the tea cakes and may not get my 14 boxes tomorrow!

They can take my freedom but they will never take my tea cake!

I watched the video on the Daily Mail link above. Calling the delegates Nazi scum.
The mail gave a definition of a gender critical person as someone who believes in biological sex which I thought was good. Most rational people would be gender critical.

Made me laugh!

I shall think about Tunnock Eating Rational Feminist

At moments like this I get Twitter FOMO, but I know in reality that my quality of life is improved by not having an account.

That's the funniest thing I've read all day!
