LOL So many posts over chocolate biscuits which I don't favour... there are now so many varieties, black forest, kahlua, dark chocolate, milk chocolate etc. I'm surprised they don't sell them in the US given that Arrnots is now a US brand... along with Kraft the makers of vegimite and now the in-a-biscuits have be sold!!! We aussies can't seem to hold on to anything, at least we still get them all thought I suppose. I just know I'm gonna die the day Kraft decide to cut the Vegimite line. OMG: Tim Tams… LOL

I worked on the Arnott's online shop several years ago (the one Doug linked to above). It was a feasibility test website specifically targeted at ex-pat Aussies. You could only buy Tim Tam's by the carton (box of 12 packs of 12, I think). And they cost s**t loads, but the response was still good. It closed down in 2002 or 2003, and as far as I know it never opened up again. Some political decision, possibly related to quality issues during shipping. So, they did at least try to export them! :) Pat Since there’s so much interest, perhaps I can shed some light on the whole export situation.

I guess that Palau is not too far from Australia, so maybe it is esier to get them there than it is here in the States. I got hooked on the Tim-Tam Slam when I was in New Zealand for three months. I brought a bunch of packages home for my friends, and taught them all how to slam. It was a blast.

I hereby declare that I have comment-envy. I suppose most of it is good reading, but they're just biscuits. And before I get shouted down for not knowing anything about it, I live in Melbourne and enjoy Tim Tams but I don't wet myself every time I think of them. In fact I'd rather have a Vo-vo.
