You can choose only one (unless like me you have both in your kitchen), which is it?

I would like all 3 .

Wafer the runaway choice so far, but have you had the dark chocolate tea cakes yet? Taste sensation.

Never had a caramel log, rarely seen outside of their native Scotland. Actually, I'm sure that Snowballs used to be fairly widely available in England, but I haven't seen one since the mid-90's!

Tea cake. Wafer is shite in comparison, not even enough sugar to make a toddler hyper 🙄

Of the two in the title I'd choose wafer; but really the wafer is merely a warm up for the caramel log.

Wafer, every time. Teacake is nice an all but unless you're willing to eat the whole box full then your always left wanting more. Wafer is just right.

So it's settled- Caramel Wafer is for men, and the 'teacake' is for little fairy cupcake crybabies!

Caramel logs trump wafers every time. Faced with wafer or teacake, teacake every time.

Aren't tea cakes banned on flights or something because they tend to explode with the internal/external pressure differential?

Surely the correct answer is 'both' though? The tea cake is a palette cleanser for the wafer?

A wise man once told me that there is no pleasure in life quite like smashing a Tunnock's Teacake on one's forehead.

He was right.

Tunnocks are missing a opportunity here for a special edition take a Caramel wafer and have the very top layer with a nice marshmallow topping coated in chocolate ,best of both worlds then!

Oh and it needs to be about a Third bigger for best effect.

The Log is made out of the bits swept up off the factory floor where the Wafer is made. True dat. Still brilliant though. If biscuits could fight, it'd be the hardest of them all, its desire to elevate itself beyond its humble beginnings spurring it on against less motivated rivals.

Wafer, obviously.

In times of genuine hardship and desperation the Aldi version is just about passable. So I've heard......

Hang on.

What are you washing it down with? That affects everything.

Strong black coffee - wafer fo sure.

Something weaker - teacake maybe.

Dark choc teacake is a bit of a gamechanger though.

They are very different beasts; wafers for weekdays and tea cake for a weekend treat. As for the original question... I think I'd have to be tea cake.

[i]I have never eaten a caramel wafer in my 43 years.[/i]

Someone I follow on twitter was introducing a German colleague to a different Tunnocks product each week for a while and then moved on to other sweet products. It was all a revelation apparently.

Wafer of course you bastards, it's my 2 day of a 5:2 regime and there's a pack in the cupboard. Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng must resist. 😈

Just one won't hurt, Roger... 😈

Never have nice food in the cupboard, it's the only way for me. I once had my children hide all the packets of crunchy nut cornflakes as I was scoffing them five bowls at a time.

Unfortunately, they were really crap at hiding them.

Eating a Caramel Wafer as I type this accompanied by a strong mug of tea. Only one more left in the packet - think it would be rude to leave it all alone in the cupboard!

Surely that lot would keep you loaded with tools, extra discounts and free stuff from your LBS?

Just popped out for tea with my daughter. She had the teacake, I had the wafer. If I'd had a second coffee, I'd have gone for another wafer. The teacakes are an occasional thing for me. They are just too insubstantial to be satisfying (and too sweet to eat more than [s]one[/s] [s]two[/s] three.

PIMP my snack...

(Choccy log at lunch was ace...with nice coffee)

Best one ever was at the end of a long, hot DofE trip. Sat by the shore of Loch Ericht, a few minutes peace before the groups started arriving back. Sun. Brew on. Tunnocks from the rucsack lid stash. Food of the gods.

I was wondering about that! If he can get sponsored by Irn Bru and Glenmorangie too I will build a small shrine in my shed.

Caramel Log ftw, as it is basically the wafer, but with MANLY death-risk from choking on the coconut/dandruff coating.

That said, at my wedding we did a buffet and the giant pile-o-teacakes was ravaged into nothing in the first 5 minutes.
