For those of you Australians who have relatives/friends in Canada
wanting you to get them Tim Tams, fear not. Campbell Soup has seen

to market them in Canada. I've seen them in Superstores (same owners,
the Westons, as Loblaws and Extra Foods). They're not called Tim Tams
but some generic name. Same brown package with the Arnott
parrott/rosella logo. Made in Australia. Not cheap however, CAd
4-something for a standard-sized package.

Oh good - another location to do the "Tim Tam Suck" (need a large mug
of coffee to do it though).

And do they have the dark chocolate version?

One online store was advertising 4 types [?flavours].
Do they come in 4 types/flavours?

WOO-HOO! THERE'S A SUPER (SUPER, SUPER!) STORE JUST DOWN THE ROAD FROM
ME -
what's the generic name, please - I usually skip the candy aisle (my
friend
Johnny Labatt does quite enough for the Aussie football 8-)) but for this
would make an exception - however, since I'm in the boonies, asking for
"our
version of Tim Tams" would only result in some pimply-faced McDonald's
reject saying, "uh, dunno, don't think we have dem...."


OK, Raffi, you owe me for this. I did a DejaNews search and came across
this:

"...Mr. Jeanes and I were doing a little food shopping at the Loblaw's last
night, and in the meat section we encountered a large basket containing
packages of what were labeled 'Arnott's Original Chocolate Biscuits'. It
went on to claim that they were 'The most irresistable chocolate
biscuit'. After a second pass and again looking at the picture of what
appeared to be a Tim Tam, I was convinced to buy them and see what they
were like.

Upon sharing one of these biscuits, Mr. Jeanes and I concluded that they
were, if not literally a Tim Tam, something cloned from a Tim Tam.

It was $3.29 for a pack of eleven. ..."

Get thee to the supermarket!

Enjoy!

Ah, the "in house relabel!" They have the "most decadent" Choc cookies
(biscuits), the "ultimate" cheesecake, and other such superlatives. I think
Superstore hired whomever thinks up those five thousand words for "red" when
labeling lipstick....

I'm a goin' to Superstore en route to work today....

I owe you.....maple syrup?

Forget it, Raffi. I just inhaled all the Tim Tams the world has to
offer and I'm proud of it! burp

Let us sit upon the ground and tell sad stories of "Tony Bailey"
:



www.arnotts.com

and some history to boot!-

There are eight delicious varieties of Tim Tams: Original, Chewy Caramel,
Mocha, Double Coat and Classic Dark Chocolate, Special Edition Tim Tam
Hazelnut, Limited Edition White Chocolate and new Special Edition Chewy Choc
Fudge.


White Tim tams? WHITE TIM TAMS?? How to ruin a perfectly good
biscuit. What is the world coming to?

Apologies to all those white chocolate lovers out there, but, I mean,
really!!
