Tunnocks Thread 2

960 replies

Boiledbeetle · 16/08/2023 16:13

The question asked in Thread 1 has still not been answered satisfactorily, and so the quest continues to discover which side of the fence Tunnocks are on or whether they are in fact sat atop the fence throwing Snowballls and Tea cakes at both sides.

I have no idea where the link below will send you. hopefully to the original thread and at the start, but it could be a completely different thread half way through. I'm too full of sugar to concentrate properly!

Now I’m distressed and slightly scared…

By the fact that @JanesLittleGirl drank GREEN alcopops and thinks 'lemon drizzle' are acceptable words to say in company? Yeah I feel the same!

💔💐🐞I'm sorry! But I did qualify it with the fact id hardly been in the shop since before the covid years!

Someone needs to email Tunnocks to see which aisle their products are in in each supermarket chain!

It's do it but I'm kinda busy!

Thank you for the flowers, they are needed. Luckily I picked up the other drugs Tunnocks on autopilot. I’ve had to eat 6 slices of toast though, a sure sign of my distress.

IcakethereforeIam · 25/08/2023 19:41

Flowers I had much the same experience earlier on in Tesco. I was so disappointed I didn't even feel like getting the teacakes or the wafers. I'm regretting that now.

Somanyquestionstoaskaboutthis · 25/08/2023 19:24

@Boiledbeetle I was so excited about the logs being there on the shelf waiting for me, with their friends twin and mars, I went there first before all the boring veg and things, and they weren’t there. I’m fairly sure my “noooooo” was out loud. I am very sad. I had to buy a farmhouse white loaf to cheer myself up.

JanesLittleGirl · 24/08/2023 21:40

I remember sitting on the green drinking alcopops and then going home because it started to rain.

To Boiled and others: remember cheese, cured meats, pickles, breads and crackers. There is also cake: fruit cake; sponge cake; date and walnut: coffee; lemon drizzle; torte. And fillings. So many fillings!

And going back to cheeses: so many cheeses!

It's not been a good day in the 'vix household. Early night I think. Day 2 of Tunnocks detox now.

See attached for K cider.

Darn! But don't be replacing the Tunnocks with the cider, that way madness lies!

Well they get to sit together on the top shelf with the other hardcore biscuit type goodies.

I’m positive our biology teacher was shagging one of the lads in my year too. And the PE teachers were having an affair.

I looked with the teacakes and caramels, because that’s the Tunnocks bit. I’ve long since given up with the ‘ in Tunnocks.

I turned up to lessons because I was too chicken not to, I just didn’t listen much.
It didn’t help that our maths and chemistry teachers both thought girls should not be doing their subjects. And we had strikes.

You have a Tunnocks bit? They are just shoved on the shelf at mine and left to fight it out with the twixes!

Disclaimer I've only been in the actual store twice since the start of covid so do not have reliable up to date store layout information

I had an old chemistry teacher like that!. Now the biology teacher, I'm fairly sure (95-99%) my biology teacher was shagging ones of the lads in my year fairly regularly in the science store cupboard

WTF is K cider?

In my day it was Woodpecker, consumed, under age, sitting on a milk churn stand.

Because I'm really ancient, and rural in origin.

Cheap cider in the woods with a realisation I maybe should have revised.
I hope teenage Cervix did ok and is out celebrating, maybe not with cider though.

I, unsurprisingly did not revise at all, not even for five minutes, for my GCSEs! Probably would have done better if I'd a) attended lessons and b) revised

OMG why didn’t you say that 2 threads ago? I can’t wait to go in the morning now. I hope I’m not going to be disappointed.

Sorry, back to catching up now, as you were

Where exactly have you been looking for them? they are multipacks of chocolately things, wouldn't the logical place be the aisle with the chocolately multipack things?

in my Sainsburys I think, it's been a while since i was actually in the shop, they are in the aisle with the multipacks of mars bars and twixes.

Thank you. She's expected to fail a few of them. It's a long upsetting story that I won't go into but if she gets anything apart from English Language it will be a miracle. My own results day involved some unexpected Es, a lot of K cider, a lot of rain and vomiting after the aforementioned K cider. I later went on to replace those Es with an A in the same broad subject in a university midterm exam. I did get Bs for English literature and language though although I'm still not sure if Es and Bs should have an apostrophe. My instinct says not. Or should that be no? It's too late in the day for grammar.

Not being one for illicit substances I can't say for certain, but I wouldn't be that surprised that mixing K cider with a couple of E's led to you throwing up.

I nearly got kicked off my degree for hacking into the results database. Only reason I didn't is because I didn't change anything as they'd given me an A 😄. Norty women!

I appear on the surface a nice respectable middle age woman!

However the scally child still remains!
