Tunnocks were pro staying in the UK in the 2014 Scottish Independence Referendum, for which many 'no voters' were grateful Flowers.

As if one needs another reason to adore Tunnocks ... Grin

BlameItOnTheBlackStar · 11/11/2021 13:53

We've bought two packs of Tunnocks every week since that nonsense Grin

Really just rein my diet in again!

What did Tunnocks do? (Excuse my ignorance)

EarthSight · 11/11/2021 14:36

@moonlightapple Provided food items for the big LGB alliance event, and despite criticisms, haven't backed down or apologised for doing that.....yet.

Seem to be in good company ?
At least they are not encouraging children to self harm unless you consider producing great biscuits harmful because they are so good.

Buying at least a box a week now. Poor deprived DD. Every time she eats one, "how did I not know about these before". Grin

Totally, both companies should be avoided for degrading women.

I stocked up on Tunnocks too. Someone polished off the teacakes before I got a look in. 😠

WarOnWoman · 11/11/2021 18:47

Oh, I'm glad that ad was banned, which seems to be a nod to the Athena poster.

Tunnocks were pro staying in the UK in the 2014 Scottish Independence Referendum, for which many 'no voters' were grateful Flowers.
And I know many yes voters who are still boycotting Tunnocks to this day!

Hadn't seen the tennis ad though, that's pretty bad.

BettyFilous · 11/11/2021 21:03

My youngest has owned up to eating all the teacakes which prompted an anguished “I didn’t even get one!” from my eldest. You and me both, pal. Youngest was unrepentant and asked if could a caramel wafer to round things off. 🤔

dotoallasyouwouldbedoneby · 11/11/2021 21:12

TwinklyBranch: there are still quite a few people with YES stickers on house windows and cars in my area over 7 years later . No voters were too afraid to display support for the status quo in the first place and were just relieved...and moved on...and got on with their lives.

Melroses · 11/11/2021 21:15

I would stock up on Tunnocks.

However, I have bought a box of plain chocolate covered teacakes from Waitrose every week for ever. Except odd weeks during the first lockdown when they were having problems like all supermarkets.

However they have not had any for over EIGHT WEEKS Angry

I have filled in their feedback form with this specific item highlighted.

It is no good getting the milk chocolate ones there, because they are cheaper in Home Bargains or you can get a big box of 10.

So when I find another supermarket that sells them I will be getting them there.

A friend of ours got married in Bothwell a few years ago and one of the highlights of the trip was our walk into Uddingston to the Tunnocks Tea Room. Was a great weekend all round.

Evelyn52 · 11/11/2021 21:20

We also have been buying Tunnocks every week, we've rediscovered them, I can't believe I forgot how good they are.

Flammkuchen · 11/11/2021 21:23

At my work the office manager has suddenly started buying boxes of tunnocks for snacks in the staff kitchen.

Is there a secret sign that one can give to check someone is GC?

Davros · 11/11/2021 23:48

I didn't know the significance but we buy Tunnocks caramel wafers all the time anyway. I think M&S tea cakes are better than theirs but I may switch now

catzwhiskas · 12/11/2021 00:48

On Today R 4 yesterday one of the journalists said almost under under his breath something about Tunnocks .... kind of a coded message?

Bellendejour · 12/11/2021 07:35

I love Tunnocks! They sell them at my new work! But for £1 which is an outrageous mark up. Still, we all had a discussion about our love of Tunnocks and no one mentioned any kind of cancellation 👍

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 12/11/2021 10:57

Agree the tennis ad is disappointing though Confused

Gobbolinothekitchencat · 12/11/2021 12:52

Tunnocks have gone from the occasional treat to a weekly staple here. 😉 Caramel wafers are my favourite.
