Americans Have Launched A Tim-Tam Rip Off And We Have Some Thoughts

Tim-Tams are a sacred and an iconic Aussie snack, and no America, we DON’T want you to “re-create” them..

Let’s start with who has launched this abomination - it’s Traders Joes. Not sure what makes me more engaged, the absolutely bland description of “ chocolate-creme sandwich cookies” or them not suggesting Tim-Tam slam as a suggested serving style.

It gets worse, they tried to be cheeky and trash Vegemite in the process of talking about how their “Aussie-style biccies” were to die for. Pick your side Trader Joe’s you either love all our snack or leave them alone. This is what they’ve written on the box.

Inspired by a classic Australia treat, and brought straight to your home - with no 20 hour flight required! In the middle is a silky chocolate creme that’s sandwiched between two crispy chocolate cookies and them enrobed in a smooth chocolate coating - that’s triple the chocolate by our count! These cookies pair beautifully with cold milk, hot coffee or tea. In fact, they’re so delicious we’re confident you can pair them with almost anything (brown vegetable spread probably excluded)

Anyway, at least everyone on the internet recognises that Tim-Tams are the originals and far superior so thank god for that. At least they got one thing right, that Tim-tams are bloody delicious.
