The Joy of Tunnocks

[rubbershoes]

how many made and sold every week? it's been creeping up gradually over the years as more poeple see the light?

 

[ethel]

4 million caramel wafers.

 

[coccinelle]

Are Tunnock's still totally independent and family-owned? I would love that idea, even though they make stuff that I shouldn't really eat. It would make getting fat more ideologically sound...

 

[ethel]

they are indeed

 

[kyser_soze]

Tunnocks rule! The caramel wafers are so powerful a single bar can quell my skunk munchies for at least 30 minutes.

Compare this with the 'whole pack of jaffa cakes' which leaves me needing more not 10 minutes later...

 

[pogofish]

it's a double pack for a pound though!

Is it? Last time I looked, it wa the big multi-pack (10 or 12?) they were doing for a pound, when Sainsbury was doing it for 85p

I've never seen the dark chocolate varieties.

Neither have I and they maybe wouldn't be as sweet as the others so I want to try them.
I don't want to go to Uddington to get them though

 

[pogofish]

Well.

In the intrests of research I popped past Sainsbury tonight & as well as the normal wafers & logs, they also had plain chocolate Teacakes & Caramel Wafers, plus Wafer Creams.

I now have lots of Tunnocks. May have to forgo my rowies tonight?

 

[quimcunx]

Now I want rowies!

What you should do, to save your waistline, you understand, is send some comfort packs to well-deserving homesick urbanites.

Oh yes, to save your waistline.

*makes way to quim's*

 

[pogofish]

Think I will feel the need to bump the rowie thread soon.

Thing-is, I can't go into the baker after the pub for just a few rowies, I'll probably need a pie or two too & pancakes if they have them!

The Joy of Tunnocks slideshow on Flickr

Absolutely brilliant set of images from the Uddingston shop!

Those images are great. They have an air of the past - a more innocent time.

I love Tunnocks wafers.

There was a good Tunnocks thread a while ago: http://www.urban75.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=206786

[pogofish]

[Paulie Tandoori]

[geminisnake]

Here, she's on MY chair!!

Next time you come down I would like some dark chocolate Tunnocks please.

 

[Ich bin ein Mod]

Nom, dark chocolate caramel wafers are delicious. Not had any for a while. This will need to be rectified.

 

[Ich bin ein Mod]

The Tunnock situation has been resolved. I'm blaming you lot now for me not being able to shift my belly.

 

[pogofish]

Piles of plain chocolate Tunnocks in Poundland last night.

 

[nino_savatte]

Mmmmmm, Tunnock's......

 

[dessiato]

Is there anything actually edible there?

a lot looks like shite!

Piles of plain chocolate Tunnocks in Poundland last night.

I am really curious to try these now, even though they sound a bit wrong.

 

[pogofish]

They are the right sort of wrong!

Tunnock caramel bars are badder than bad
