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!

I’m job hunting, my cv is ready for any chocolate eating roles. I have chocolate eaten rolls already

If it’s not, it should be. These Tunnock’s threads could be our CV.

If I worked for KitKat - or indeed any chocolate company - that would explain my waistline - but no, I am not a professional chocolate eater, merely a keen amateur! 😉😁😂

Is professional chocolate eater an actual job?

Ah thanks it was you who put it here. I can stop worrying I’ll wake up dead now. It’s a shame only 1 made the journey to me

I note KIT KAT is once again trying to insert himself in a space he isn't welcome! I thought he had this explained to him in the first thread!

I earlier whipped up a spell to get tea cakes in the kitchen to appear in my bedroom, but they seem to have gone astray. Has anyone had any random tea cakes appear today? And having counted my Tunnocks supply I did the spell twenty times yet only three Tunnocks have moved out of the packet. I fear I may have accidentally been moving other peoples Tunnocks around.

But my tea is ready now so I'll deal with bad spells later.

Kitkats are horrible now. The chocolate is rank. Nothing beats a Tunnocks caramel wafer in my humble opinion. I used an Asda rewards voucher to buy some more.

So none of my magical appearing in random places tea cakes appeared at yours then.

You know when you are at the point of using your points to buy Tunnocks that you've slipped from casual user to full blown addict don't you? You'll be pawning the kids school text books next!

Do I remember correctly that GBBO had making a Tunnock's teacake duplicate as one of the technical challenges one year? I have a vague memory of a lot of sticky goo and chocolate everywhere.

Going back, briefly, to KitKats - did you know that you can bite both ends off a finger of KitKat and use it as a straw for the hot beverage of your choice? It works well with coffee.

Do you work for kit Kat and you’re trying to get us to buy them instead of Tunnocks? It’s half worked, I will buy one to try this out, but as well as not instead of. If I survive the random teacake incident.

Somanyquestionstoaskaboutthis · 17/08/2023 14:48

Erm I’ve just come home to my empty house and there was a teacake on the table which I definitely had not left there. I obviously ate it before thinking about this because it’s a teacake so I would. If one of you put it there thank you but how did you do that? If someone put it there to poison me then it worked. If I’m not back later think the worst.

She hasn't got any!!! This is now an emergency situation.

CervixSampler · 17/08/2023 11:58

Whilst I'm no Tory, they are currently the only party talking sense on women's rights. I have the biggest ick response when I see long nails so Tunnocks hygiène seems spot on to me.

Would it be acceptable to start a go fund me page to replenish my Tunnocks supply? I am skint and in withdrawal. Although I'm off to my mum's later and she has some to the best of my knowledge. I buy packs for her so that the children and I can have some when there. I'll message her now.

Somanyquestionstoaskaboutthis · 17/08/2023 11:24

Lazy Sunday yes, I quite like it but I like stronger coffee.

If Ringtons were to try and persuade me to defect to their biscuits by providing me with very many free samples I would be happy to. At least until I had finished the free samples. They deliver to one of my neighbours so it would just mean filling the whole van except his order with my samples, not going out of their way.

As to whether I should boycott Tunnocks for following guidelines, I will join you in your pondering and give you an answer in 2098

On an actual thread related matter, as I wouldn't want to be accused of starting a thread under false pretenses:

If you were to discover, not by idle gossip or rumours, but with absolute undeniable proof that the manufacturers of our sweet love were, whispers, Tories, or even worse followed government guidelines in the workplace, would you boycott them?

Coffee in the morning, Yorkshire tea in the afternoon, Yorkshire tea gin in the evening. Not Yorkshire coffee sadly, I haven’t found a Taylor’s coffee I love yet

I used to really like was it lazy Sunday? Something to with Sundays I'm sure, and a few of the others, but the medication i have to take changed how things taste and I very rarely drink coffee now and I used to live on coffee.

Wot no Ringtons here?!

www.ringtons.co.uk/

They do personal delivery TO YOUR DOOR of tea and BISCUITS, including what looks like a tunnock dupe....

I don't discriminate, will Ringtons Gold noticeably nicer do you?

(Pure fluke that I had some in the house as well)

I'm going to admit that staggeringly they don't go particularly well with irn bru.

I do like them with a nice cup of strong tea (obviously only one choice in this department) i find the tea to Tunnocks ratio works well.

And you're on your own with the whiskey Jane. Although I think I've got some glava in the cupboard which could substitute I suppose.

So, what is the perfect drink to accompany a Tunnocks?

For me, it has to be coffee.

There are two answers:

The perfect drink at mid-afternoon is a seriously strong cup of tea.

The perfect drink at 8pm is a glass of whisky.
