Stuart Swarbrick Tunnocks Wafer Review	Dear Nicey, You may have already heard of this, but while queueing in the kiosk at ASDA the other day, I spotted a "Giant" Tunnocks Caramel wafer. It wasn't particularly big - just a tad longer than a normal wafer but there were a few aspects that caused a double take and left me staring in disbelief. The first was that the addition of the word "giant", onto the otherwise traditional wrapper. The second was that they were being sold individually, and were individually wrapped in a wrapper akin to a chocolate bar. The third and most bizarre factor was it's placement - at the cigarette counter nestled amongst the Mars Bars, Bounties and the rest. Being on a lunch break I didn't have time to wander to the biscuit aisle and was left wondering who's idea this placement was - ASDA or Tunnock's? Has anyone else witnessed this commado infiltrating foreign territory?
	Nicey replies: Well well well. Looks like Tunnocks have rolled their sleeves up and decided to tough it out with the likes of the KitKat Chunky and all those other renegades from the biscuit aisle. I reckon the plucky Scots might do well with this.
Jeremy Shotts Tunnocks Wafer Review	Hi, Always been a big fan of the famous Tunnock's product in its distinctive gold and red striped wrapper. A month or so ago I found a plain chocolate variant in a matching gold and blue wrapper. Being a major convert to plain chocolate (digestive debate - you can guess my view - let's not go there!) since mid-twenties (age not decade!) I thought I was onto a winner. I was sadly disappointed! The chocolate quality was not good and for some reason the wafer/caramel internals seemed dry and lacking in the usual chewy consistency. Maybe it was just a poor batch - but I've not been back for a second try. Back to the standard product then and continuing contribution to the millions consumed daily! all the best, Jeremy
	Nicey replies: That's surprising, most plain chocolate zealots have taken to the blue and gold wafers like ducks to water. Perhaps you were just disorientated by the switch, a bit like approaching a French round-about for the first time. After a day or two it seems natural.
Jason Wild Tunnocks Wafer Review	Dear Nicey Having just reintroduced the Tunnocks caramel wafer to the office, one of my colleagues forwarded your link to me within seconds and an afternoon of fond biscuit-related nostalgia ensued. For me, Tunnocks have to be the epitome of biscuit survival - 50 years on, still in the original(ish) wrapping and not, contrary to popular belief, the sole territory of old ladies in bonnets and hose. Being a young 37 year old, I've not been around long enough to remember the when Tunnocks were new and have only discovered them in the last 10 years or so. I like to imagine that they represent the best of the war years and I will always thank my Grandfather for fighting to keep the country free so that young-uns like me can enjoy biscuits like these...
	Nicey replies: Well done on the Tunnocks reintroduction this is the sort of free thinking initiative that more workplaces could do with.
Robin Warren Tunnocks Wafer Review	Ahh....I have found your website and it's a joy to behold. Eagerly searching through the comprehensive pages of biscuit scripture herein I find the mighty Tunnocks Wafer; immediately I am forced to wipe away the litttle tear that rolls down my cheek as I recall the day my mother found the Tunnocks wafer wrapper collection my sister and me had accumulated. Neatly ironed with the heel of my sister's "fancy shoes", each wrapper was carefully prepared for it's further and ongoing pressing between the two leaves of our fold out/extendable coffee table. Our Mother had no knowledge of the importance of a neatly pressed Tunnocks Wafer wrapper to her offspring and we would watch in horror as she screwed her wrapper into the tightest little ball and throw it in the bin. These were quickly retrieved and secretly restored, the careful unfolding process would sometimes take hours so as not to rip the shiney red and gold paper. This went on for years, I even remember the day when the Tunnocks peeps could proudly boast 4,000,000 made and sold instead of the meagre 3,500,000 and we were blessed with the Mk2 wrapper and a piece of biscuit history. We had around 100 wrappers when the day came.... Whilst in the company of guests we were all sitting enjoying some tea and biscuits, when due to said guests the need for the table to be extended arose. My sister and myself exchanged nervous glances knowing that years worth of secret careful unfolding,smoothing and pressing, were about to be discovered by our unwitting Mum and her friends. Mum wasn't aware of the collection and she failed to lift the top of the table with the care required, in one swift action the air was full of Tunnocks wrappers; spinning, floating and dancing. It was like a biscuity crystal maze. My sister and me never collected any more from then on as it wasn't the same. This is why I love Tunnocks Wafers, the fond memories of how truly bizarre my childhood was bizarre, move over Charlie Brown Me and my Sister have got loads of Golden Tickets!. I will go in the loft tomorrow as I'm sure they're up there in a pencil case! Thank you for listening, Robin Warren (24 3/4)
	Nicey replies: Robin, You have enriched all our lives with your Tunnock's wrapper memories.
Stewart Davies Tunnocks Wafer Review	Re Tunnocks products. two friends from work and myself visited the factory three years ago,we were made very welcome,and left with a very generous bag of samples.We then visited the Tunnocks tearoom around the corner and had Tunnocks own mutton pie with beans and chips,triffle, scone with butter and jam,and a mug of tea,absolutely delicious.We have made visits to the tearoom every 8 weeks since that first visit and are now on first name terms with the staff.the staff at both the factory and the tearoom are a credit to Tunnocks,it looks like a happy place to work,they are all so very pleasant. Stewart
	Nicey replies: Yes, lookout Disneyland Paris, Tunnocks World is here. I wonder if they do weekend breaks?
