First Tim Tam experience

[solobiker]

Okay, so I remember reading some posts about 1 year ago about Tim Tams and how awesome they are. I searched in vain to try this elusive "cookie" and never could find them. I pretty much forgot about them until....today, one of my pt's family members came into visit her and what does she have in her hand??? A brand new package of Tim Tams.:) I mentioned how I have read about this cookie but have never been able to find them in the stores. She told me that she found them at our local grocery store. After a rather long conversation about the cookie and how I heard about them she opened the package and offered me one. Oh my gosh was it good. I don't know how I have lived this long without having one:p However, they are very dangerous because they taste sooooo good. I bought a package and put it my freezer for future use.;) Yummmm

Careful! They are able to speak to you, it's a scary psychic connection. You'll be tempted to eat the entire package....:rolleyes:

Timtams are absolutely magnificent!! Don't let anybody tell you that the best way to eat them is to bite a corner off, stick it into a cup of coffee, bite the opposite corner off, then suck the coffee through the Timtam. That is SACRILEGE!!!! Eat your Timtam straight up, the way Arnott's intended :D

Do they sell the many many flavours of Tim Tams overseas or just the regular one?

I can find TimTam's at Cost Plus World Market - labeled here as "Arnold's" in a couple of flavors. I try to avoid the aisle :rolleyes:

A professor of mine who lived in Australia for several years introduced me to them. She also told me that they're available at Cost Plus World Market, and I also stay away. :D

Yummmm....

LOL when I saw the title of the thread I was wondering what a Tim Tam was. I thought maybe it was like a TomTom but for bikes. I wouldn't have opened the thread if I'd known it would give me cookie cravings.

You can get the online at the Vermont Country Store.

They also sell Wilbur Buds, Clark Bars, and other goodies.

And if you miss Emeraude perfume or Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific shampoo, they stock that kind of stuff, too.

Just the other day, I saw TimTams at the local regular grocery store - sold by Pepperidge Farm. Seriously.

I've never had one and I have no intentions of ever trying one...but apparently they are going to be mainstream USA very shortly....

When we travel to the USA and Canada it is nearly always with a suitcase full of TimTams for our friends over there! We are probably responsible for many TimTam addicts!:o

We usually take the "normal" ones but when our friends visited us here they were quite surprised by the different styles of biscuits (we don't call them cookies here) that we have in the supermarkets. Despite the fact that our climate is mighty unsuitable, TimTams are only one of many of these types of bikkies!

Quite a few years ago my DH was spending a fair bit of time on a car forum with lots of people from the USA who spent a fair bit of time arguing back and forth about how the USA had the best cars in the world and how you couldn't live without some sort of a Camaro (which was apparently proof) or a Corvette or .... (substitute big American muscle car of choice). Some bright spark from Australia piped up with "Well fellas, that's all well and good, but we have TimTams!":D

Okay...DH and I finished the box (there are not too many in there) and the box I put in the freezer is calling out to me. I must be strong. I have to hold off until Thanksgiving. :)

I try to ignore the Tim Tams when I go shopping.
If I can get out of the shop without them I am safe. If they make it into the trolley and home I am doomed. Why is one never enough?:o
