Aussie Alert!!! TimTam sighting at MegaMart!!

Scarlett
By Scarlett

Ohh yum...was shopping today at Megamart and lo and behold on one of the end caps was several packages of TimTams..The ones I saw were caramel and double chocolate raspberry.

 

for those of you who don't know these lovely items...they are cookies(biscuits to some!)..chocolate covered rectangles..you bite off the ends a bit, put one tip down into your coffee and suck the coffee up through the cookie, using it like a straw. Trick is to use it that way just long enough but not too long or the cookie dissolves in your fingers...pure heaven...

Young at heart huh! Everyone should have.. just like the advertisement from the government some times ago in OZ, the slogan 'Not old, just get older'.. Geez.. I like that ad.

You are right Scarlett. Sometimes the stock will just come once. Finished? That's it! No more stock coming..

I've discovered that most Western items are very limited..so when I find things from back home in a store, I tend to purchase right then or you might never see them again..even a day later.

help you all out...I bought two packs of the caramel and one of the double chocolate raspberry..

 

Weasel..didn't see that kind..these were love potions, I think, is what they are called. The raspberry is to die for...

 

Khanz...crawl back under your rock, you bambam chikchik, you..

 

TCOM...they go GREAT with strong black coffe..but the Turkish kind would clog them up...lol

Thanks Scarlett. What a lovely news.. I found that the variety of biscuits/ cookies here are rather limited.

I had heard about the Tim Tams and went to investigate.

For a moment I thought I was back in Coles supermarket, Merrylands!

The method of eating of which you write is also called the Tim Tam Slam!

I picked up a lovely family assortment with Chocolate Montes and Tim Tams as well as a pack of ryvitas which are savoury wafers. Great with labne.

Certainly cured my recent bout of homesickness!
