Aussie in America - coping without tim tams!

some useless but interesting extracts:

"Marketing by stealth isn't the only tactic employed in relation to Tim Tams. They have also been associated with the double entendre, such as "Ten reasons why a Tim Tam is better than a man", and "Two and a half inches has never been so satisfying". These people are well aware the major devourers of Tim Tams are women. Perhaps the name "Double Trouble" is not so far off the mark. Arnott's has also reported that most Tim Tams are eaten in the privacy of the home, and forty percent of customers admit to hiding their purchase of Tim Tams from friends and family."


"You can buy Tim Tams online, including at the web site of my sponsor Simply Australianhttp://www.simplyoz.com/products/aussie_fo...ts/tim_tams>. Through the Arnott's web site you do have to buy in bulk. But hey, when were 20 packets of Tim Tams too many? In fact, according to Arnott's:

Around 30 million packs of Australia's bestselling chockie bikkies are sold each year - that's nearly 300 million biscuits, or two packets for every Australian.

On a per capita basis, they are the world's biggest-selling chocolate biscuits.
