After checking for the watermark of a grumpy face whilst holding a product and finding that it is indeed a genuine #ChrisSpargo video, I read the comments that bemoaned the fact that Penguins are not legally chocolate any more, and spoke favourably of Tim-Tams.

So I checked out the Tesco (seemed appropriate) on-line shopping information.

There are pretty much the same ingredients for both products, unsurprisingly enough, and the description for Tim-Tams employs evasions like 'chocolate-flavoured' and 'chocolatey' too.

How many unique Penguin jokes are there?

After a quick trip to the supermarket, mostly for other reasons, I can confirm that Tesco using 'chocolaty' instead of 'chocolatey', in the on-line description of 'extra chocolaty' Tim-Tams, is not a Tesco transcription error.

The manufacturer really does use two different spellings of the word on the packaging of its products.

It's only the word 'chocolate' that is a reserved description. 'chocolatey', 'chocolaty', and 'chocolate flavour' have the legal escape that they only describe what the food is *like*, not what it *is*.
