...Chewy Fruit & Oat Cookies. Mate these are scrumptious, and not to crumbly either so okay for bed eating. Mmmm.

FFS. It's Tesco. You don't say "I'm going to Asda's" do you?

Strictly speaking the food item is Tesco's property until you purchase it, so the usage in the topic title could be correct smile

Also, saying Asdas is perfectly normal.

No OP gets away with it by cunning use of the ellipses so the whole opening is Tesco's Chewy Fruit & Oat Cookies which is correct.

Thank you! Although our angry friend here has a good point.
The actual wording on the package is 'Tesco Finest Chewy etc...'

Semantics aside, they're tasty!

Do you not remember the playground song?

Let's all go to Tesco's,
Where [insert name of kid you're picking on] gets his best clothes,
Na na na naaa
Na na na naaa

He says he shops at Top Man,
But he really shops at Oxfam,
Na na na naaa
Na na na naaa

Tesco? Asda? I thought this was the food forum?

hehe only kidding, sort of........

Gangland, I do remember singing that song at school, but we only knew the first verse....perhaps Top Man wasn't invented then?

No he hasn't Tesco just don't brand their products possessively unlike for instance Coleman's mustard. Obviously it would be stupid for you to post My Chewy Fruit & Oat Cookies even though the ones you are currently enjoying are obviously yours (unless you nicked 'em) , should I want some I'll have to by them from Tesco who currently own them therefore your use of the possessive apostrophe was correct.

Tesco, the route of all evil. I read in the Times that 20milion households own Tesco clubcards. Do we all want to be part of the Tesco machine.

Well done Tesco. One of the UKs most successful firms of all time.
