I have seen it quoted on here for many years that Tunnocks are to be supported as they support women's rights. I have looked on their website and social media and can see nothing to support this rumour. Does anyone have any evidence? Thanks.

Well what's the feminist position on snowballs?

I bought a load for some menfolk who did a load of work for me and can't work out if this was feminist or not.

You shared? And with men?

WTAF!

Tunnocks once gifted the LGB-Alliance some teacakes a while back, which led gender critical people to believe that Tunnocks also held a gender critical belief.

However when questioned on it, Tunnocks said something along the lines of "we get requests from charities all the time and we pick one to donate to each week, so this time we just chose the LGB-Alliance but we don't know much about them".

At the time I emailed them to inform them what the LGB-Alliance was actually about and asked them to clarify if they held a view on trans-rights, and all the said in their reply was "thanks for letting us know".

IMO I don't think Tunnocks are TERFs or transphobes, it just so happens that out of all the charities who contacted them for freebies that week, the LGB-Alliance was the ones they picked out of a hat.

MerlinsLostMarbles · 11/07/2023 21:21

It's understandable, with a name like "LGB-Alliance" it can trick people and companies who don't know who they are into thinking they are an actual gay rights org (as opposed to an anti-trans one).

I am team tea cake. You can keep the wafers.

ThatParent2 · 11/07/2023 21:24

What I especially like about those products is that they don’t smear. Chocolate everywhere.

MerlinsLostMarbles · 11/07/2023 21:25

Also remember they donate to a charity every week, there's a good chance Tunnocks have also donated to one or more actual LGBT charities which include trans-rights.

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 11/07/2023 21:26

You can end up quite sticky eating a tea cake I find. I like to eat them in stages, pick off the chocolate first, lick the marshmallow off the biscuit before finally consuming that

WesterChick · 11/07/2023 21:28

Wait dark chocolate tea cakes are a thing?! Shock

Well that’s a commendable attitude in this day and age.

Thank you Tunnock’s and thank you Merlin for contacting them so that now we know they don’t hate us. You must have been gutted!

A man is still a man even if he's got snowballs?

I must admit the dark chocolate variety is news to me

but every one knows dark chocolate is the worst chocolate. Like the ‘Shakespeare comedy’ of chocolate

Didn't they refuse to back down to TRAs on twitter when they supplied their tea cakes to a gender critical event? Or something along those lines

This rings a very loud bell!

pickledandpuzzled · 11/07/2023 21:33

The whole Tunnocks drama introduced me to new delights. I blame you lot for about 5kg avoirdupois!

Oh yes. They are wrapped in blue foil. We can only get them online at twice the price of milk chocolate in the supermarket so they all belong to me.

WesterChick · 11/07/2023 21:36

Well that's confusing. Blue is for milk chocolate and red is for dark chocolate.

The evidence will reveal itself to you once you have purchased, unwrapped and consumed six cartons of Tunnocks tea cakes.

I gladly take on this great responsibility! 😀

Have Tunnocks ever said anything in support of TERFs or said anything against LGBT people? No they haven't.

They chose the anti-trans-alliance to donate to that time not knowing what they stood for.

Mate, we just like tunnocks.
The darker the chocolate the better. And I wont have heathens saying any different.

MrsTerryPratchett · 11/07/2023 21:44

Let's for once ignore the bollocks (literally and figuratively).

Youre all wrong. The snowballs are the absolute best. Fact 😊

The trans rights activists piled on them on twitter to ask for an apology, which wasn't forthcoming.

MerlinsLostMarbles · 11/07/2023 21:53

"Mate, we just like tunnocks."

uh-huh sure.

If Tunnocks suddenly announced they were supportive of Stonewall you would all be saying how horrible their cakes are I'm sure.
