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.

Oh god how horrible would that be!
A very impressive wrapper collection there beetle, did you iron them especially for the pictures? Great product placement too.

At some point in the distant past I thought I'd do something with the wrappers one day. And they have sat in a drawer ever since. I can't bring myself to throw them away!

In real life they still have all the creases from when they contained the bar of heaven.

Is that your way of saying you identify as a tunnock's? I was joking about it being an identity! Humans aren't biscuits!

It’s a good job we’re not biscuits, we’d get very soggy in rain.
No I don’t identify as anything, but my fat content mostly comes from Tunnocks

One time I wrote to Tunnocks to express love and warn them our local supermarket was besmirching their saintly name by selling out of date teacakes at a dubious mark up.

Dear Reader they sent biscuits Grin

(but only to me cos I'm no.1 fan obvs)

I would have loved to have read MLM's letter

Dear Mr Tunnocks,
Why have you sent those hate filled bitches at LGBA ?
Seriously mate, those women just won't be told, that some lesbians DO have penises.
Yours M.

Dear M
Fuck off

I know I've already posted this elsewhere but I wasnt expecting a Tunnocks thread too come along! Or Reds comment above! (Seriously mate, those women just won't be told, that some lesbians DO have penises)

TRA HERE

You bloody GC women, you are so bloody rude!
When I try to berate you, you just start to talk of food.

When I throw a strop because you say lesbians don’t do dick
You start to talk of Tunnocks and which product you would pick.

When I try repeatedly to tell you that those men are actually shes
You just start to witter on about different types of cheese.

When I try to explain that women’s stuff is ours to take
You start to debate the merits of different types of cake.

I just don’t understand why you start to talk of food
Every time I try to tell you that woman’s not a dude.

If memory serves correctly, a few years ago there were some Tunnocks teacakes served at a women's event somewhere.
Everyone went wooo, teacakes are t**fs!
We luff em
Or something like that lol

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.

Oh Ok, that must be what I was remembering then 😁

Perhaps seen as a certain real feminist is probably at a bit of a loose end these days, maybe she could run county country lines from the little tiny shop in Uddingston?

Easiest way of catching haggi is to put pepper on the rocks at the top of the mountain, then when they sniff it and sneeze, their head movements cause them to knock themselves out on the rocks, you just bag them after that. Far quicker than waiting for them to roll down to the bottom of the mountain.

LOLzzzz at your poem @Boiledbeetle So true and yet so very funny! :-D

@Cookiedough41 " Oh god anything quite frankly. They used to do (free) tours of the factory as well although I'm not sure if they are still on. The waiting list for them ran into years but oh so worth it. "

I think Greg Wallace? ( the guy off Masterchef? ) did one of those ' how it's
made ' type programmes from the Tunnocks factory, sadly it looks like the series has finished now but it won't be long before it's repeated, unless they've binned the series due to Wallace resigning for offending someone :-/

@JanesLittleGirl " My parents had bought me a cuddly toy bagpipes that looked like a tartan animal with a long nose and tail and four spindly legs. "

Was it ???

Opinions are like arseholes. Everybody has one but it is generally accepted that it is rude to shove them in other people's faces.

Caramel logs are the crème de la creme of Tunnocks.

And they do mini ones in a tub of Tunnocks

Ourladycheesusedatum · 12/07/2023 06:42

Cookiedough41 · 11/07/2023 22:02

They DO make cakes.

They have a bakery on the Main Street in Uddingston which sells amazing cakes but only Uddingston no where else!

Why am I only just hearing this? Where is uddingston? Nvm I'll get a map out, and what kind of cakes? Asking for a friend.

Bigot. The sheer amount of wrappers boiled has obviously ironed to show off means that boiled is a tunnocks.

If I can make my way to the uddingston shop I too will identify as tunnocks. According to Google maps I'm a bit under 4 hours away. Sadly not today.

And @EpicChaos oh such wonderful memories watching that Bagpuss episode I'd forgotten how much I loved Bagpuss!

To be fair I don't completely identify as a Tunnocks caramel wafer. My feet and hands for practical reasons still identify as human. But the rest of me.... Well... See for yourself👇.

This children is what happens if you eat eat too much of your favourite sweet treat!

Also it's hard identifying as a Tunnocks caramel wafer, especially if you'd ever met my parents 👇

This is what my Scottish DF taught me too.
Google tells me it’s only 3hrs 27min to Uddingston, and I could pit stop at that brilliant services on the M6 near Kendal on the way.
I need tofu d caramel logs now

That’s one hell of a trip. Can I come

It's worth it just for the stop at the services on the M6 if nothing else! (If it's the services i'm thinking of anyway!)
