Tunnocks Thread 2

960 replies

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!

I quite liked the jammy ones, though they were a different beast entirely. You'd start by breaking the chocolate in the approved fashion (smashing it against your forehead). Then you'd pick off and eat the chocolate fragments. Then peel off the marshmallow, which would maintain its shape and cohesiveness, then lick off the jam and finally eat the biscuit.

I mean, who has time for that faff!

For those (heretics in the Beetle's eyes) who like / might be interested in teacakes with jam in them...

(And they're the sort I was familiar with until being introduced to the Tunnock universe)

Lyons Jam Teacakes - Tesco and Amazon sell them, amongst others.
Lees Jam Teacakes - Iceland and others

There are also Wagon Wheels with jam in - different shape, similar ingredients.

IcakethereforeIam · 19/08/2023 10:14

Okay! You can let go now! <tries to regain train of thought>

Jam!

I remember teacakes with jam, I don't think they were Tunnocks though. Perhaps m&s?

Too too sweet for me!

But I can see how people (the weird ones) would like it!

Please Tunnocks if you are reading DO NOT do this to your tea cakes.

I remember when Wispa went away....and came back....changed.

I heard it was bubblesuction!. If course wispa claims it was just diet and exercise. But that slope with the gentle sloping sides... Not natural. No way!

I know! I always wondered why they tried to keep great aunt Gertrude on the cups of tea for as long as possible! It's cos when she's plastered all the family sweetrets come out!

There's the time great uncle Polo got shot right through his stomach.. And survived! And then of course when cousin a marathon decided he was going to identify as a snickers! Seriously, next time you see her give her the sherrg early! You'll be amazed at the stuff she knows! And she'll tell you the REAL reason opal fruits had to change their name! It's dead juicy!

I'm shook. I mean I knew, well suspected, that Bounty had something dark in its past ( dark by name....). I think that's why this distance grew between us. Obviously, I subconsciously picked up on the resemblance.

Well, you think you know someone?

Sush! Snowball will have a strop!. apparently a bit of a thing was had back in the day between bounty and snowball.

It didn't end well. Things were said that can never be unsaid.

The kids were given up for adoption to the Lee family and now it's just one of those hush hush things that only great aunt Gertrude brings up at Christmas after one to many sherrys.

I tried the Lees snowball. It was nice. Better than Tunnocks? I don't know. I'm not sure if I've ever had a Tunnocks snowball.

I will say this, common to many products with coconut, I was still chewing bits of the coconut lo-o-ong after the rest of it had been eaten.

God, it's been years since I've had a dark chocolate Bounty.

It's probably best they neither confirm nor deny in the current climate.

I had a caramel wafer at mum's today. All felt better with the world for those two minutes.

I'm thinking of ordering in bulk from the facture if that's possible.

They do make things better!

Hi can I purchase 12000 caramel wafers? How much? £many many many £

Yeah OK

And

Nice! But i liked this one

So, Tunnocks can be terfy if we want them to be, even if the people that make them won't say that they are.

Possession is 9 tenths of the law! And I reckon we're getting through 9/10ths of their stock as well!

I did the shopping today and I remembered the Tunnocks 😁 My local Tesco doesn't sell Tunnocks snowballs but they sell a brand called Lees. So I bought some and I'll give them a go.

And, I had a thought. If the trafia can trans men, women and things, I think it's only fair that we can terf things to. So, Tunnocks can be terfy if we want them to be, even if the people that make them won't say that they are.
