The Scottish confectionary firm Tunnock’s has enjoyed a burst of world-wide publicity from the return to Earth of NASA’s latest space tourists.
As for the parachutes used to lower the crew of Apollo 16 safely onto the Pacific, those used by the Artemis II mission looked just like the Scottish firm’s iconic Tea Cakes in their foil wrappers.
Customers in countries where Scottish exiles have flown are now wondering if Tunnock’s had a sponsorship deal with NASA to get that particular design onto the parachutes.
