'weigh nothing, taste brilliant, nice wrapper'
Strengths:
Sugar, fat, carbohydrate - what's not to like? They may not provide the kind of calorie fest that malt loaf does but they raise a smile for me every time- especially the hard-to-get plain chocolate ones.
Weaknesses:
A tad crumbly if subjected to stress/impact. Don't like prolonged immersion.
Overall:
As it says on the back of every one of them, millions of these gold-and-red wrapped beauties are made and sold every week. They have retro chic, solid reliable worth, and a rewarding chewiness. I first encountered them as a miserable, layabout teenager working on a milkround in the dead of winter. They were about the only sliver of joy in my otherwise freezing, soaking, miserable days. Since then, I have had to turn to hillwalking to replicate that sensation. A tunnocks and a cup of thermos tea in the freezing damp of a British autumn afternoon...aaah...simple pleasures.

'LIGHTWEIGHT, TASTY AND A GREAT MORALE BOOSTER!'
Strengths:
Chocolate, caramel and wafer in one light, compact bar. Very tasty. Not the highest calorie snack but sweet without being sickly. The quality is undeniable. Great value for money.
Weaknesses:
Tend to crumble bashed or stood on, and can get rather sticky if exposed to excessive sunlight.
Overall:
One of the best snacks you can have with your hot drink up the hill (except for with soup maybe...). A real morale booster at any time. I was fed these in quantity as a child, by my dear departed Granny, and unlike the other foods she forced upon me, my love of these wafers has remained undiminished to this day! Tea and a caramel wafer, you cannae beat it. Don't leave home without them!

'THEY'RE VERY GOOD, BUT...'
Strengths:
Similar to Tunnocks Caramel Logs
Weaknesses:
They're not, in fact, caramel logs
Overall:
In the same way that passions can be inflamed over the goretex/paramo debate, the relative merits of these traditional Scottish staples can cause bitter divergence of opinion. There can be little doubt however that from a healthy outdoors lifestyle perspective, the log is to be preferred, as it has a coating of high fibre coconut, which is bound to make it better for you. Isn't it?
Sticks to your teeth a bit, mind.
