Yeah cool I guess. yaaaawnCan't you just be happy for us?
Tim Tams are here for only a limited time!
Like I can buy those at the grocery store here. That's what you guys get for not being part of the commonwealth
"Cookies"?
THEY ARE RECTANGULAR. THEY ARE NOT COOKIES, THEY ARE BISCUITS.
Americanised.
not according to mr. spellchecker!
They ain't scones, because they don't have anything in them.
They should bring those ball things too, I like those"This isn't shooting fish in a barrel, it's dropping a tactical nuke on a bucket full of carp."
I don't even think there's a Target in the whole northeast. What the hell.

McVitie's chocolate-covered digestives
Tim Tams are a rip-off of Penguins, it seems to me.Only if by rip-off you actually mean massive improvement. Eating Penguins instead of Tim Tams is like using paracetamol to take the edge off a morpheine addiction.
Tesco in Bathgate has them, for anyone in the UK who has not tried them, they are like penguins except far superior.

Dogg really if you want me to start listing all the cool food America/Canada has and Australia does not I would probably forget to actually eat and I am not interested in dying ironically AT ALL.

heh, when I got to college I had no idea what Target is, because there weren't any around CT where I went to highschool (I'm pretty sure there are a few now though.) Their ads confused me mightily since they don't actually explain what the store is, they just have lots of trippy imagery, and people thought I was pretty clueless.

The first I had heard of Target was when I moved to America, aka Fairfield county Connecticut. This is where I learned about Target, and enough to know that all the classy people pronounce it Tarjay.

For those Americans with a World Market (http://www.worldmarket.com/home.jsp) nearby you can get Arnott's Chocolate Biscuits (http://www.worldmarket.com/Eat--Drink/Eat/Cookies--Cakes/Arnotts-Biscuits/lev/4/productId/4726/No/16/Ne/1100001/Nao/16/pCategoryId/0/sectionId/3200/Ns/TOP_SELLER_INDEX|1||CATEGORY_SEQ_3207|0/N/1100414/Nty/1/categoryId/1100414/gpCategoryId/0/index.pro) there. I am led to believe that they are same thing that Arnott's sells under the name Tim Tam in Australia. Why they don't call them Tim Tams here I've no idea.
Brown sugar and cinnamon Pop-Tarts
Now that you lot have Tim Tams...

Oh oh and we don't have Dr. Pepper either! Can you believe that shit?
Oh oh and we don't have Dr. Pepper either! Can you believe that shit?Man, you guys are going to be so sad when Chinese Democracy comes out.
Anyway, why are you complaining about not being able to get shitty American junk-food?
...oh, and Graham Crackers! For Smores!
Americans have Graham Crackers because they were originally invented to prevent unhealthy sexual urges.
So eat some Smores and just say NO to self abuse!
We dont have pop tarts or reeses. These are the two most important things.
Mountain Dew here doesn't even have caffeine in it.
That's true here, but it could certainly be different other places, since by and large I don't think they import sodas.
Mountain Dew doesn't have caffeine here in Australia because it's illegal to add caffeine to drinks.
"What?!" I hear you exclaim. "What about Coke and all those 'energy' drinks?"
There is an exemption for cola drinks as caffeine is considered an essential part of the "flavour". Which is why all the "energy" drinks here are cola flavoured or use mixtures of guarana and taurine rather than caffeine.
Silly but true.

I don't think this is true - I am, at the least, very skeptical. For one thing, energy drinks do have added caffeine aside from guarana and taurine, even the non-cola flavoured ones. And I'm sure I've had juice with added caffeine (although I would concede that it was potentially guarana). Or is my confusion simply that Red Bull/V have a) naturally occurring levels of caffeine in whatever they use for a "base" or that b) taurine/guarana actually does increase the amount of caffeine (which seems like it makes the alleged law even more ridiculous)? I mean, Red Bull plainly states it has 100 mg or whatever of caffeine per can, and it is decidedly not cola.
My Target had them on sale! 2 packages for $5. I dipped into my savings and got all they had, which was seven. I expected there to be just a few tim tams per package but there are quite a lot of them.
A sin? It's a fucking soda, man.
I don't even think there's a Target in the whole northeast. What the hell.
The fuck does it matter, just order that shit off of the internet. How do you think I'm planning on getting my fix for McVitie's chocolate-covered digestives for the next 70 some-odd years? Certainly not by living in Britain. They drive wrong.
Jolt is a very powerful energy drink! In Jolt's 23.5 oz Re-sealable Battery Bottle one can find over 280mg. of caffeine, approximately 2,800 mg. of taurine, 56 mg. of both Guarana and Ginseng and just about any B vitamin you're looking for.
I drank 3 of these in a few hours, hoping that maybe they would help me to function on the 1 hour of sleep I'd gotten the night before. What I got was caffeine shock.
Obviously I don't know about you specifically, but there are many programmers I know who think the code they write when sleep deprived is superior, but in fact they simply cannot tell while in a sleep deprived state that their code sucks.
I type all kinds of weird nonsense if I drift off while working on a paper (I also talk in my sleep.) I used to unknowingly hand in papers that I had "finished" in my sleep. Those were the days.

I started hallucinating and I thought my heart was going to implode, turning my entire body into a black hole.
That is never the experience I have. The longer I keep forcing myself to excrete an answer, the more constipated my mind gets. Then I go to bed, and magically I know the answer when I wake up.
I'm going to stray back on topic for a second.
This is when you maybe try Reese's Cups in your s'mores. Compliments the roundness of the cookie and the marshmallow...and then peanut butter kicks it up a notch.
How did we get from Tim Tams to the psychiatric effects of sleep deprivation?
Maybe it's all related!

Marshmallows are disgusting in general.
Yes, I hate happiness.

Favourite headline in a long time -

the moon is legit the greatest threat to peace since...someone.
This kind of bothers me, but not much. Ultimately it's just an award, but it seems kind premature and a touch silly.

I thought it was a little bit ridiculous until I found out that the other potential recipients were Bono and Sergio Berlusconi.
One hopes that "with a two-by-four" is implied.
