    i feel deprived that i have NO CLUE what tim tams ARE
    I was wondering up thread what they are. They sound evil...so deprived=temptation makes sense.

    "A Tim Tam is composed of two layers of chocolate malted biscuit, separated by a light chocolate cream filling, and coated in a thin layer of textured chocolate."

    They come in a bunch of different flavours, too, including white choc, dark choc, chewy caramel, salted caramel, red velvet, raspberry, double coat, and various limited edition flavours.

    Even better:

    "The Tim Tam Slam (also known as the Tim Tam Shotgun, Tim Tam Bomb, Tim Tam Explosion and Tim Tam Suck) is the practice of drinking a hot beverage through a Tim Tam. Opposite corners of the Tim Tam are bitten off, one end is submerged in the beverage, and the beverage sucked through the biscuit - as though the Tim Tam itself is a straw. The crisp interior biscuit is eventually softened and the outer chocolate coating begins to melt, at which point the biscuit is eaten. "


    Got it. But why isn't company called yestheyare instead of arnott?

    That one took me longer than it should have; it's almost time for beer.

    What? What time zone are you in? I've had a head start!

    Ha, central, but I had an alumni steering committee meeting. And it was important; we're planning a brewery takeover.

    Or you could do what the Hubster and I do, which is never eat the last box because we're sad it's the last box and then forget about them until next year!

    Surprise cookies are the best cookies.

    I don't understand the beer snobbery. It all tastes gross. I also don't understand the implication that craft beer makes you cultured or something. Especiallly cause the majority of these people have never been outside their own country.

    I didn't buy any this year for that reason. The Samoas are like crack to me. Plus they went up $.50 a box here. Wasn't worth it.

    On what are you basing your many assumptions?

    Also, beer is delicious, so you're wrong.

    Except light beer. Light beer is not delicious. Or at least less delicious.

    Nope. You had it right the first time. Light beer is most definitely not delicious.

    You're wrong. Just sit there in your wrongness and be wrong.

    I actually said to the hubs yesterday I'm having wicked cookie cravings and planned to nom some today. You know something mad? This thread has kind of put me off. Not because I don't love cookies, but because we don't have GS cookies and now I want GS cookies and anything else is going to be a poor replacement.

    *emails US rellies for shipments*

    We moved to Boston from midwest last year. They have Caramel Delites here instead of Samoas.

    So we did the reasonable thing and settled for Caramel Delites had a friend ship us a full case of Samoas...

    ...because we aren't savages.

    OMG did this make me laugh. Thanks jofjltncb6!

    @Alatariel75 I just noticed the different packaging in the top pic. Maybe they are available in America??

    Hey Christine - the other packaging is what we have on the right side of the Tasman :smile:
