Good news about Tunnock's teacakes

[Stealhsquirrelnutkin]

Don't you just love it when a company that makes stuff you like comes out as being ethically sound?

What a wonderful excuse to add chocolate tea cakes and caramel wafer biscuits to my next grocery order.

I was at a wedding where the cake was made by Tunnocks. No it wasn’t a giant tea cake (shame), it was a big white wedding cake decorated with roses.

Tunnocks seem to be getting a lot of support on Twitter from people fed up of cancel culture who have read the DM piece... easily cancelling out the whiny ones.

I have it on good aurhority after their support of the LGB Alliance, every Tunnocks Teacake you eat from now on will be calorie free.

Fill your boots

@SusannaRowan

Was it fair of LGB Alliance to put Tunnocks on the spot like this? They would have know the furore that would follow and could have sent a private thank you message instead, for what was a kind gesture. I feel a bit sorry for Tunnocks, I get the impression they are a kind, old fashioned company, who have unwittingly stumbled into this. Unless Tunnocks are nailing their colours to the mast (which is probably unlikely). I know ultimately the aggressive TRAs are at fault, but it just makes me feel uneasy.

That's it exactly. An old-fashioned, family run business which goes out of its way to support local causes. This isn't a big political statement from them.

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.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

My mom had to slam the brakes on in her car I was holding some no bake chocolate cake on my lap when we looked down it looked like someone had shit on the gearstick she said i didn't think it was that close couldn't you have waited....we howled the other people (who were checking we were OK) were

DH and I are howling. 😂🤣😂 Thanks Esme.

When the SNP supporters boycotted Tunnocks for naming it the “Great British teacake” and putting union jack flags on the packet, their sales rocketed 35%! Tunnocks had to increase production to meet the increased demand.
I do hope the same happens again. Great company, always on the side of the goodies!

This story unfolding on Twitter has had my howling.

Even the daily Mail have picked it up:

@EsmaCannonball

I like the coconut version of the caramel wafers. If the TRAs make them repent this gesture, I'm not sure I can give them up.

Esma you have contributed so much to this thread, but I feel this ^ has been overlooked.

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

Hilarious.

Are the teacakes on the right side of the history plate or have they simply #been kind?

Oh, yes, I'd forgotten about that.

... Cadbury's Roses?

Do you think they'll repent like motherfuckers?

Gender neutral fuckers please.

I blooming love Tunnocks in any form, but since a coeliac diagnosis I can only eat the Snowballs, which I love but I long for a gluten free caramel wafer or teacake. Oh and the elusive silver wrapped crumbly ones yum yum

Birthingpersonfuckers

ArabellaScott - no, just wee icing roses. They used to make celebration cakes - not sure if they still do.

I love the caramel wafers! When I was much younger, the wrapper used to say, "more than 1,000,000 of these are made and sold every week", and there was a yellow creamy layer in the centre. Now it's 6,000,000 but no yellow layer

Is that true. Awesome 💪💪

Think they're called caramel logs.

It used to say it on the vans too!

I hate you all.

Tunnocks are KERT keto exclusionary radical teacakes.

I want one

I cleared the shelf in my local shop after reading the story. Tunnock's teacakes ... mmm!

Duly noted.

I mean, the name is shit (literally) but I shall overlook that.
