TUC Name Origin Discussion
I've added the best reference that I can get from Jacob Fruitfield. These are snippets of the relevant emails (with the guy's name removed as he didn't want to be quoted directly):

 * subject	Re: Jacob Fruitfield Query


 * To clarify, the name Tuc comes from Trade Union Congress. The story goes that they didn't have a name for the cracker when they were launching into the UK, and they saw a billborad announcing the Trade Union Congress, or abbreviated as TUC.  So at the last minute they chose the name Tuc.


 * Kind Regards,


 * XXX XXX
 * Jacob Fruitfield Foods Limited
 * Belgard Road
 * Tallaght
 * Dublin 24

(I pressed further)

 * Hi,


 * I heard this directly from somebody else who would be closer to the brand, so would prefer if I was not quoted directly.


 * Kind Regards, (signature as above)

(I pressed further still!)

 * You can quote the reference from Kraft Europe.


 * Thanks, (signature as above)

If anyone can come up with something better that's great - but this is as good as I can get...

 * This seems to be a hpax. TUC crackers were created and named in Belgium and the name has nothing to do with the Trades Union Congress. http://www.kraftfoodscompany.com/eu/en/brands/brands_az/brands-t/index.aspx Harry the Dog WOOF  10:18, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Link to TV show
Is there any point in this? I can see no link other than the (coincidental?) name similarity. Grebbsy (talk) 01:05, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
