Tunnocks Thread 2

The question asked in Thread 1 has still not been answered satisfactorily, and so the quest continues to discover which side of the fence Tunnocks are on or whether they are in fact sat atop the fence throwing Snowballls and Tea cakes at both sides.

I have no idea where the link below will send you. hopefully to the original thread and at the start, but it could be a completely different thread half way through. I'm too full of sugar to concentrate properly!

Do I remember correctly that GBBO had making a Tunnock's teacake duplicate as one of the technical challenges one year? I have a vague memory of a lot of sticky goo and chocolate everywhere.

Going back, briefly, to KitKats - did you know that you can bite both ends off a finger of KitKat and use it as a straw for the hot beverage of your choice? It works well with coffee.

Do you work for kit Kat and you’re trying to get us to buy them instead of Tunnocks? It’s half worked, I will buy one to try this out, but as well as not instead of. If I survive the random teacake incident.

CervixSampler · 17/08/2023 16:02

Kitkats are horrible now. The chocolate is rank. Nothing beats a Tunnocks caramel wafer in my humble opinion. I used an Asda rewards voucher to buy some more.

Boiledbeetle · 17/08/2023 16:57

I note KIT KAT is once again trying to insert himself in a space he isn't welcome! I thought he had this explained to him in the first thread!

I earlier whipped up a spell to get tea cakes in the kitchen to appear in my bedroom, but they seem to have gone astray. Has anyone had any random tea cakes appear today? And having counted my Tunnocks supply I did the spell twenty times yet only three Tunnocks have moved out of the packet. I fear I may have accidentally been moving other peoples Tunnocks around.

But my tea is ready now so I'll deal with bad spells later.

So none of my magical appearing in random places tea cakes appeared at yours then.

You know when you are at the point of using your points to buy Tunnocks that you've slipped from casual user to full blown addict don't you? You'll be pawning the kids school text books next!

Ah thanks it was you who put it here. I can stop worrying I’ll wake up dead now. It’s a shame only 1 made the journey to me

If I worked for KitKat - or indeed any chocolate company - that would explain my waistline - but no, I am not a professional chocolate eater, merely a keen amateur! 😉😁😂

Is professional chocolate eater an actual job?

Asking for a fat friend.

If it’s not, it should be. These Tunnock’s threads could be our CV.

Somanyquestionstoaskaboutthis · 17/08/2023 18:22

I’m job hunting, my cv is ready for any chocolate eating roles. I have chocolate eaten rolls already

Somanyquestionstoaskaboutthis · 17/08/2023 18:24

A job I was looking at this week wanted to know my gender, gender identity, sexual orientation and preferred pronouns. Not my sex though. I didn’t apply. It was a small local business not a big company

Somanyquestionstoaskaboutthis · 17/08/2023 18:25

Now I’m wondering if Tunnocks are recruiting and if the staff discount would be worth the 3 hour commute

Boiledbeetle · 17/08/2023 19:41

I did used to work with a woman who in a previous job had to eat chocolates, I think for someone like Thorntons, all day every day at work.

Apparently it really puts you off chocolate.

So probably not a good job to have.

A Tunnocks staff discount, and the chance to buy the damaged products really cheap would be worth an actual house move surely.

Good point. I’ll get on rightmove now

Boiledbeetle · 17/08/2023 20:40

Rightmove currently wondering why they've suddenly had an uptick in people looking for houses in Uddingston

Mmm rightmove isn’t selling the town to me. Some nice character properties if you add 3 miles, I’ll just sell a kidney or two

As I'm unable to sleep and getting up for a cup of tea do I have a bacon butty or a Tunnocks caramel wafer?

They eat guinea pigs in Peru. Some of you will know of my rodentophilia and realise I would never go near that benighted country.

But do they have capybaras in Peru? As a rodentophile might that be sufficient compensation?

I feel you have skin in this game. Are you offering yourself as the compensation as a sneaky way to get access to her Tunnocks supply?

Plenty of places I can get my capybara fix in the UK, ta.

And just you wait until I win the lottery.

Boiledbeetle · 18/08/2023 09:32

It's 9.30am I've been up since 6 am (no I don't know why either, it's not as if I've done anything in the 3.5 hours I've been awake) and I have yet to eat anything Tunnocks related.

I'm sorry. I'll try to do better.

When you win the lottery Cher I trust you will be setting up Tunnocks subscriptions for us all 😉.
