The Royal Air Force has ended a 60-year ban on Tunnock's tea cakes after testing revealed that they do not explode at high altitudes. The ban originated in 1965 after a reported incident during a training flight. Recent experiments conducted by the RAF Centre of Aerospace Medicine determined that although the marshmallow filling can escape the chocolate casing, it does not pose a risk. Pilots are advised to keep the snacks frozen until consumption. This development brings Tunnock's tea cakes back to RAF flights.
"The Royal Air Force has lifted a 60-year ban on Tunnock's tea cakes, debunking a long-held myth that they could explode in the cockpit after extensive testing."
"With the clear finding that Tunnock's tea cakes do not explode at altitude, pilots are now free to enjoy this snack, albeit with some advice on storage conditions."
