Are you doing your bit for Tunnock’s?

You know how it is, you’re supposed to be working but then something that seems far more important forces you to down tools and consider it for some time. Like this for example:

When was the last time you ate a Tunnock’s Caramel?











You know, the caramel wafer bar with the thinnest covering of chocolate scientifically possible and the 1940’s style packaging. When was the last time you ate one of those? How many would you say you eat in a year?

You know how the foil wrapping proudly claims “4’000’000 made and sold each week”. Rueben has figured out that for that to be true every man woman and child in the UK has to eat 4 bars a year. And you know what, I checked, he’s right.


















I haven’t had one in about 5 years. I used to eat them when I was at school so maybe that’s how it works; school pupils eat 6 a year and adults only have to have 2. But that still means I’m 10 down. And that’s without counting my years as an infant. Crumbs, I’ve got some catching up to do. This explains that feeling I sometimes get when I think I’ve forgotten to do something important but can’t remember what.

Learn from my mistake; don’t let yourself become a Caramel victim.
Keep your quota up.

Oh crud it's Friday and I haven't had a single Caramel all week. I've really let myself down! Does playing Snack Hunt and Snowball on the Tunnock's website count towards my weekly quota do you think?
