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.

Tunnocks is the star we orbit?

sigh

Now I'm going to have to rejig the orrery.

The custom-made enamel teacake at the centre will cost a fortune. I can't use a real one, it'll get hoicked out and eaten in no time.

You bad bad people. Look at what you made me do.

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

Challenge accepted!

Yes, but you have ticked 'substitute allowed' so God knows what you might get.

Rice cakes with chocolate, chocolate buttons, a tin of ready made caramel and a king-sized jar of peanut butter.

You will have no one to blame but yourself.

I cannot order any at the moment as they'd arrive after my departure for a holiday eating saffron buns and Cornish splits Down West.

Somanyquestionstoaskaboutthis · 12/07/2023 14:13

Edith beat me to it, untick substitute allowed fgs. Then deliver to my address just in case you’re out/ in the shower/ writing a poem when they arrive.

I’m sorry, I cannot. I am Tunnockfluid. Please don’t oppress me.

I dread to think what they'd substitute for haggis? 🫢
That dog food that comes in a plastic sausage? Fgs @Boiledbeetle read the label, I doubt you can tell by appearance or taste.

Ooh is that a milkshake idea there Protocol?

That sounds sticky. Is that one that's melted in the sun?

I think that the worst would be "vegetarian haggis." My wife bought some by mistake, once and it was an abomination. We were eating it and realised that something was off, so I fished the wrapper out of the bin.

If I wanted moist skirlie with too much pepper, I could have made it myself.

I'm sitting here having to make do with chocolate buttons. It's probably 10 miles to the nearest Tunnocks outlet

I have a sadness now.

Thoughts and prayers.

And to others whilst i accept that ticking allow substitutes is risky my Sainsburys in the main tend to employ middle aged shoppers who know that the correct substitute for a load of chocolate bars is usually a bigger amount of chocolate bars. So I'll risk it.

Thankfully i can send them back if it's the summer holidays teenager who can't tell the difference between an avocado and a lime as the haggis may well turn up as webbox!

I'm getting the distinct feeling you don't like haggis do you Cake?

Freedomfromguilt · 12/07/2023 15:33

I have a vague recollection of Tunnocks tweeting during the Laurel Hubbard at the olympics debacle, something that seemed to be very supportive to biological women in sport.

IcakethereforeIam · 12/07/2023 15:46

Is there a difference?

Grits teeth. We shall have to agree to disagree on this subject. Scratches haggis off the mumsnet trip to Tunnock Land sandwich options. Potted beef paste do you instead?

Boiledbeetle · 12/07/2023 16:02

And blghh I've just looked, potted beef paste still exists. Blghhhh

Oh, I thought we all just liked tunnocks?

I do, but find them a bit sickly to eat very often, nowadays. And I started a keto diet, on Monday.

I introduced them to my wife, some years ago (she's from another country). She wasn't convinced with the first one, but later, I found her at the kitchen table, in a field of tinfoil and cardboard debris, looking like Augustus Gloop's sister.

She's never touched them since.

Augustus Gloop's sister 😂😂i think I need a fresh tena lady now.

There's to be no haggis bashing on this thread!

Haggis is lovely, as is vegetarian haggis, as is black pudding.

And you can get tunnock's fancy hampers:

Off to check out hampers

Arniesleftleg · 12/07/2023 16:47

@Somanyquestionstoaskaboutthis me too. I had two left and had to hide them for fear or someone else finding them. I'm very protective of my teacakes!
