Tim Tam bonanza

OLL Interns @ Mon, 2009-11-16 15:03

Each year, we here at The Office of Letters and Light eagerly await our annual shipment of Tim Tams, like grizzly bears gathering stream-side before the yearly salmon migration. (Delicious, chocolaty salmon migrating from Australia.)

As of today, the wait is over.

Not only have we received a massive package of the delectable originals, we have also been graced with new and previously untasted varieties, including the legendary White Tim Tams (peeking out at the top there).

Thanks to ReiKnight for boosting our morale, our word counts, and our sugar intake. Rest assured that we will all be practicing our Tim Tam slam technique during writing breaks.

I forgot about Tim Tams! I, too studied abroad in Australia and immediately fell in love with them. I brought back a package to share with my family and they were gone the day I got home. Thanks for reminding me! Maybe once I get to 50,000 words, I will reward myself by going to Target and getting some. :)

TIM TAMS! I haven't had them in two years, since I went to Australia for a study abroad.

Ah, the Tim Tam Slam...I miss it.

But now that I hear they're at Target, you bet your novel I'm going there tonight. Snacks - the writer's best friend!

For years my family smuggled huge stashes of Tim Tams across the earth to one another once or twice a year. My mom lived in Australia and my sister and I lived here in the states.

And now they're at Target, making such stealthy chocolate smuggling unecessary. Customs officers no longer need to find those suspicious suitcases and question us!

I'm so pleased you have such a nice supply there. Be on the lookout should your benefactor send you our other fave - Arnott's Mint Slice.

Mmmm.

I found Pepperidge Farm brand Tim Tam's at Target the other day. Since Campbell's Corp. owns both brands, maybe they're using November to test a new market...

I love that you love Tim Tams! It makes me proud to be an Australian in Nanowrimo :D
