The Baker’s Man Can – Apparently
The Pretoria courts ruled what we all knew since our mothers first gave us our first tennis biscuit. Only the biscuit with the fat little man on it could be deemed a real tennis biscuit.
The pretender to the throne, called GM Patel Foods cc, tried to pass off their own coconut biscuit at the real Mccoy, to no avail.
Nation Foods which holds the trademark to the recipe for tennis biscuits as well as the packaging, have been baking this delicious treat since 1911!
According to IOL.co.za:
The trade mark is a square with a flower design on the outer edges.
In the centre are two rectangles with a third curved rectangle, slightly wider than the other two between them.
The rectangles are blank.
The applicant’s package has, on about two-thirds of it, a white background on which there is a representation of a baker in the top left corner and the name Bakers in prominent black letters.
Apart from the word TENNIS boldly written in red letters, the words “The Original” appear in gold letters.
The packaging also has written on it the words “Made with real butter, real syrup and real coconut”.
Just typing this has made me want a tennis biscuit or three – the real one, mind you!
