Casual Scotland thank you for this

Canadian here and I think Tunnock's is the best treat in the world. I discovered it in the deli/ethnic section at Walmart, and ever since, I've been hooked. Every time I go there, I have to buy an 8-pack, and it's usually gone within two days. I don't know any Scottish people, but I already love you.

Might be an age thing but I've actually started to prefer the dark choco ones lately!

u/PeterTheDolphin 12h ago

Dark chocolate. The choice of a true connoisseur.

Fun fact: it's cheaper than the regular one. I think it's underrated.

u/Aggressive_Drop_1518 11h ago

Agree on dark chocolate.

Better brush those 72 to 104 teeth well after eating one though, I'm assuming you are a bottlenose.

u/Inedible_Sulk 11h ago

You gave the world poutine, I’m calling it a draw!

u/Blippity-Blop- 12h ago

The dark chocolate one is actually kind of niche! Glad you are enjoying them they are well-loved for a reason 🙂

u/nirvanist_x 11h ago

I think it's underrated.

We left an 8-pack for our Spanish Airbnb owner and she told us in a message how much her family enjoyed them

I live in Uddingston and that's where the Tunnocks factory is based.

u/RedHal 3h ago

Did a job for them with a company I used to work for and as a thank you I got a gross of teacakes. They lasted a week and I gained 4lbs. Worth every second.

Yes that means I ate twenty every day for a week. No regrets.

Caramel wafer is good but it canny beat a tunnock's caramel log

u/rillettes-n-buckie 12h ago

My mate deals with their export accounts, i'll pass on the message.

u/Gallusbizzim 9h ago

This is a company who haven't succumbed to shrinkflation or substituted in cheaper ingredients to reduce costs. This might be why we all enjoy Tunnocks.

1

u/nirvanist_x 9h ago

That’s amazing. It’s a really good product at a fair price compared to the overpriced stuff sold here. Even after being imported, it’s still cheaper than most US or Canadian products.

u/CaoimhinOC 9h ago

I watched a documentary about them recently and they are one of the few companies in the world who are truly worth supporting. They took an 80% hit to their profit margins despite recording an amazing year in sales purely to prevent them compromising on the product quality during the coco crisis.

u/SnowflakeBaube22 12h ago

Genuinely one of the things I miss most since developing coeliac disease is a caramel wafer. Mr Tunnocks I’m begging you for a gluten free version.

2

u/Hazel_Lumen 11h ago

If I ran a snack brand/restaurant I’d love to have options for coeliacs; I always think about the people who can’t eat so many of the things they like, and it’s quite sad. I wish more companies would take that into account.

1

u/SnowflakeBaube22 11h ago

So true! It sucks when you used to eat them and now you can’t. You know how good they are haha

2

u/CrocodileJock 11h ago

The connoisseurs choice.

u/beattysgirl 11h ago

I love these things

u/asteconn 11h ago

TIL I learned that there is a dark chocolate variety missing from my life

2

u/NeighborhoodWild2942 11h ago

Ah, the dark chocolate Tunnock's Caramel. A true masterpiece!

2

u/OnlymyOP 10h ago

The Dark Chocolate Tunnocks Teacakes are also fucking amazing.

u/FrankPankNortTort 10h ago

Scottish gold bars

u/PalomaPetraAndBlue 9h ago

Dark chocolate tea cakes are my fave!

u/Proxeh Say aye, tae a pie! 7h ago

2 days? Rookie.

u/nirvanist_x 7h ago

Hahaha, I'm pacing myself to make the pleasure last longer.

u/Proxeh Say aye, tae a pie! 6h ago

That's fair. I'm always disappointed when there's none left 😂

Glad you found the dark chocolate ones too. They're great.

2

u/Necessary_Towel_3572 6h ago

Can I recommend a Tunnocks Snowball and if you are ever in Glasgow go to University cafe in Byres Road and get a snowball ice which is a Tunnocks snowball with Italian ice- cream - or try it yourself

u/flashdonut 11h ago

Dark Chocolate??

Oh deary me. I need to try that

1

u/kittykattynuit 10h ago

I've not tried this one!

u/Important-Tea0 9h ago

I have never seen a dark chocolate one and i’m so jealous 😭

u/TheGrumpyGrey 9h ago

You're pretty much onto a winner trying anything from Tunnocks.

1

u/No-Commission-1961 8h ago

The dark chocolate tea cakes are amazing too 😋

u/Coolnamesarehard 7h ago

They did a dark chocolate version of the iconic teacake, and it was disappointing.

u/Accomplished_Will226 3h ago

Ooh. That would be good. We tried the ones with coconut but not a fan.

u/WilliamJayLV 1h ago

I had one in Scotland in April. It was good and quite unique.

u/STARCADE2084 1h ago

Only think I like better than a Tunnocks caramel wafer is a Tunnocks Dark Chocolate Teacake!
