Tunnocks

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.

After having some kind of fugue over the past couple of weeks that made me forget Tunnocks existed as soon as I crossed the threshold of a shop. This then coupled with a stomach bug that made me avoid the biscuits aisle entirely, I was in Tesco today and i finally remembered them (I think it was them playing Travis as I rounded the biscuit corner). And they only had bloody teacakes, which are too sweet for my poorly tum! ☹️

Hope you're okay @Boiledbeetle

I think my MN blethering has earned me a Tunnock-ique emoji. I expect so little.

Boiledbeetle · 30/07/2023 22:56

Sorry @IcakethereforeIam I got to the shop before you

Boiledbeetle · 30/07/2023 23:35

Look I don't get out out very often and therefore have to rely on the frankly not predictable stock levels of an online Sainsbury's shop. So seeing them out in the wild was just to much temptation.

I was good though I left the dark tea cakes for you!

Sorry @IcakethereforeIam I got to the shop before you.

Oh no! Poor you! What will you do for breakfast?

IcakethereforeIam · 30/07/2023 23:41

Well, some other bugger had those <looks sternly at the rest of MN>. Come on, own up!

I’m not sure whether to be impressed or scared that the marketing dept even managed to sneak Tunnocks into my book, making me crave teacakes for breakfast today so now I have to go shopping in the rain.

I've took against Faye.

Somanyquestionstoaskaboutthis · 31/07/2023 13:24

Faye isn’t nice. But then visitors arrive and she doesn’t go to the shop, so I don’t know if she ever went or if Marjorie had to stay Tunnocks free, it’s a Tunnocks horror story in the middle of my book!

IcakethereforeIam · 31/07/2023 13:28

😲 knew she was a badun!

Boiledbeetle · 31/07/2023 14:36

Well if an alien invasion does involve aliens allergic to marshmallow I'll be OK but only if they invade by Friday!

SinnerBoy · 31/07/2023 14:42

Is that the point that we learn that Faye used to be Frederick?

Somanyquestionstoaskaboutthis · 31/07/2023 14:58

@Boiledbeetle those will last you until Friday? You have more self control than me.
@SinnerBoy that may have added some much needed excitement to the book.

Only because I have to eat a horrible restricted diet until Wednesday afternoon as I have CT scan. No Tunnocks until then! I have to turn away from them when I'm in the kitchen!

I'm only just over half a day in and it's killing me! Although at least I actually get to eat more than once today! Tomorrow's fun, I'm allowed a boiled egg and a slice of toast in the morning and then a solitary slice of toast on Wednesday morning.

It would have been more bearable if I hadn't had to slot in a hastily rearranged different scan appointment tomorrow as well.

I want a Tunnocks caramel wafer sooooooooo badly.

ArabeIIaScott · 31/07/2023 15:20

Hope all goes well on Wednesday, Beetle. Can you promise yourself a splurge of caramel wafers after the scan?

Boiledbeetle · 31/07/2023 15:22

I may be taking a few with me! I'll be eating them as I put my clothes back on!

ArabeIIaScott · 31/07/2023 15:25

Somanyquestionstoaskaboutthis · 31/07/2023 15:33

That sounds torture boiled. Definitely take them with you. I would like to say I will refrain from tunnocking in solidarity but I don’t have any self control at all.
I hope the scans bring the best answers they can.

Ooh no, no refraining, I expect everyone to double up on their Tunnocks consumption in solidarity.

You eat your own then eat one for me.

Never have hours passed so slowly.

I'm also being tortured by flapjack and chocolate brownies that a friend bought me at the weekend! They're sitting there looking all delicious and edible as well.

<Goes off to boil an egg>.

SinnerBoy · 31/07/2023 16:44

I hope it is a good result with your scan, Beetle. Maybe you can take a chaperone, who can hold the wafers as you dress?

Boiledbeetle · 31/07/2023 16:55

I like your thinking Sinner or If I remove the metallic wrappers I could stick them on the end of the scanner bed!

Somanyquestionstoaskaboutthis · 31/07/2023 18:30

I’ve just been chatting to the lady who served me in Asda. She got very excited that I was buying large quantities of Tunnocks. She is another addict who eats a box at a time. I started the sentence “and I have to eat double for a couple of days because boil…. “ before realising how mad that sentence was going to sound! Quick save to because a friend was unable to eat them before an op.

😂 I can't stop laughing!

I'm beginning to think Tunnocks put crack in each batch!

I'm trying to work out whether it would work if I flicked through the photos of when I ate various Tunnocks bars as I eat a boring piece of white fish would it trick my mind into thinking I'm eating Tunnocks bars.

Somanyquestionstoaskaboutthis · 31/07/2023 19:07

She must have thought I was mad, I went bright red!
No you’ll just want them even more. Pretend it’s fish, chips and mushy peas on the beach instead. With a strong cup of Yorkshire tea gin
