Tim Tams
Sheila Dundee
getting through with over 300 packages of Tim Tams.
~ Hugh Jackman on Oprah (Nov 2008)
Comment: Tim Tams are an Aussie icon that Americans are about to enjoy.
Australians prefer the original Tim Tam- but we hear American are being
introduced this month to the (even sweeter) Caramel and Chocolate Creme
varieties. Insist on the Original!
...
On the seventh day, the Lord rested -and made Tim Tams....
For those of you who are late to the party, Tim Tams are the best
packaged cookie ever made. I liken the taste to chocolate EL Fudge
cookies filled with silky chocolate and dipped in milk chocolate.
~NYCfoodguy.com
Comment: I have friends who send packages overseas regularly. Tim Tams
never get through Customs in Asia. We believe they have bloody Tim Tam
sniffing dogs!

Well, it's no wonder why: if Tim Tams are as good as
they're advertised to be, they bloody well better
be illegal!

Did you know that Tim Tams are kosher? It’s true! Believe or not, but
the Aussie icon chocolate biscuit is one of Australia’s newest exports
to Israel.
According to Mr Guy Elan, of import-export company Guild Enterprises,
about 700,000 packets of Tim Tams a year have been sold in Israel for
the past four years, at 15 shekels (A$4.70) a pop. “We sell ship them
straight from the Arnotts’ factory in Sydney,” he said. As Mr Elan
explained “many young Israelis come to Australia after finishing their
national service to study or relax, and they have developed a taste for
the Tim Tam and spread the word back in Israel and in the Palestinian
Territories.”
Although originally Guild Enterprises were only able to sell Tim Tams in
non-kosher retail outlets, Mr Elan worked closely with Rabbi Moshe
Gutnick in Sydney to sell into kosher supermarkets and department
stores. According to Mr Elan, this was a major breakthrough. “Non-kosher
outlets only accounted for 15 per cent of Israel’s market. But now that
Tim Tams are kosher we have been able expand our brand all over the
country. And with Israelis being such perfectionists, there’s also
instructions in Hebrew on how to eat them the Australian way – we call
it the Tim Tam suck!” he said.
So do Australia’s trading links with Israel rest with the mighty Tim Tam?

Uncle Steve, my friend at school asked me-
"Why is chocolate better than sex?"
And when I said I didn't know, she said,
"If you bite the nuts too hard the chocolate won't mind."
Everyone else laughed, but I didn't really get it..

You were probably much too young and innocent to
understand such things, Heidi.

Well I have discovered something almost as wonderful as Tim Tams, Uncle
Steve! Mummy bought sugar and cinnamon coated pecans and she hid them
in the pantry ready for Christmas. But I FOUND them!!

And no man in the world has more self-discipline than

Banana mashed up on white sliced bread, and crisps, and then pressed

It's still carbohydrate, fat and salt, and eating them won't do anybody
any good.

... I think Pringles' initial intention was to make tennis balls ...
but on the day that the rubber was supposed to show up a big old truck
of potatoes arrived ... but Pringles is a laid back company, they said
"cut them up" ...
~Mitch Hedberg 1968 -2005
Aside: Thinking of 'once you pop you can't stop ', Hedberg died from
"multiple drug toxicity".
And the inventer of the Pringles can Fredric J. Baur died on May 4,
2008. Baur's children honored his request to bury him in one of the cans
by placing part of his cremated remains in a Pringles container in his
grave. [wiki]

As regards the fast, I think our present outlook
might be like that of a small boy who, on being
told that the sexual act was the highest bodily
pleasure, should immediately ask whether you ate
chocolates at the same time.
On receiving the answer "No," he might regard
absence of chocolates as the chief characteristic
of sexuality. In vain would you tell him that the
reason why lovers in their carnal raptures don't
bother about chocolates is that they have something
better to think of. The boy knows chocolate: he
does not know the positive thing that excludes it.
We are in the same position. We know the sexual
life; we do not know, except in glimpses, the other
thing which, in Heaven, will leave no room for it.
Hence, where fullness awaits us, we anticipate
fasting.
