I removed:

The Caramel Wafer was first released as a confection in 1962 after being suggested by the head of confection design, Alan Russell. Russell, now retired and living in the West Midlands, had the idea of a caramel and wafer chcocolate bar after being offered a similar sweet during a trip to China in the late 1950's. The Caramel Wafer won Alan Russell the prestigious 'new confection of the year' award in 1963. He also went on to be instrumental in the release of other brands of wafer over the following fifteen years, which are still available today - most notably the caramel log (a coconut topped caramel wafer) and the orange wafer where the caramel was replaced with an orange fondant. His most notable failure was that he never successfully fused the tastes of caramel and liquorice, although he spends much of his time in retirement still pursuing this goal via his still close links to the factory and the Tunnock family.

Is there a source for this please? Grinner 13:08, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for removing that, as the caramel wafer was invented by my Great Grandfather Archie Tunnock in 1952.

Kind regards,

C Baird.

[edit] Hardly Athletic

I removed the following:

The company revealed that as of 2006, Andrew Barringer, the captain of Hardly Athletic, would become the face of the Tunnock's advertising campaign due to be screened that in the year. Barringer new face of Tunnock's

Further down the forum the original author admits that his contract states: "pissing about making up shit on the internet is approved and activley encouraged between 9am and 5.30pm". Hardly Athletic are not the face of Tunnocks. Grinner 14:10, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Grinner

Maybe I suggest a name change seeing as you seem have the inability to find things amusing... ;-)

It was funny the first time...... Grinner 10:53, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough mate - enough is enough.

Ta.

[edit] Cabbaging

Should a reference be included to the significance of the tea cakes in the game cabbaging (for which there is an entry)?

[edit] Krembo

Should the Tennock's teacakes be described on this page, on the Krembo page, or on a page of its own? --Twid 18:15, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Snowball

I extended the description of the Snowball, added in "with the addition of coconut to the exterior of a soft chocolate shell but with no biscuit base." Of course I'm an amateur to this site, so feel free to change it. I just felt that a bit more description was needed.--Captain Capatilism 15:28, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
