I have probably asked before, but I can't remember: So if square/rectangular cookies are actually biscuits, what are these?

(http://store.honeyvillegrain.com/ProductImages/bakerymix/Biscuit1.jpg)

They ain't scones, because they don't have anything in them. They're not tea-cakes because they are savoury, not sweet. They aren't muffins because of the same reason, and plus they don't have paper wrappers and/or are not the right shape. So what do you call them?

I'm not going to click on the link. What is it. Is it about Tim Tams.

You can get them from World Market you know

Although when my mom visited Australia in 2006 I told her to get me some and she got me like five thingies and it was amazing and better than the ones we get here. They're not even called Tim Tams in America

Yeah, they are scones Katie. Scones don't need to have anything in them as far as I'm concerned.
Even if your definition of scone requires things in them, if the definition of 'biscuit' can change based on culture/geography, so can the definition of scone.

Man, what? The Northeast is fucking rotten with Targets, guys. Shit, I live like half a mile from a Target, with another one two towns over. Up where I grew up in NH, there was two about a twenty minute drive away in either direction. I'll admit, back when I was a kid we didn't have any, but they started popping up like crazy in New England when I was like thirteen. Hell, I have worked at a Target.

All this to say: I really don't give two shits about these things, but I will go buy some and then just throw them out out of spite.

We also have a shocking dearth of Hershey's products in Australia.

Mostly we have a lot of the same things as America but about one tenth as many flavours. I dang near fell off my chair when I found out that there was more than one type of Mountain Dew.

Wow, according to Wikipedia there are 10(!) active varieties of Mountain Dew in the U.S., with 18(!!) other varieties having come and gone over the years. We have Mountain Dew. Just the one.

Also it seems everything in America comes in grape or cinnamon flavours. We don't even have cinnamon Tic-Tacs in Australia.

I know there's a whole bunch of other stuff because whenever my girlfriend's dad heads back to Canada or the U.S. for work they always make a gigantic list of food for him to bring back.

Title: Re: OH SHIT
Post by: AanAllein on 20 Nov 2008, 23:42
Yeah I am not complaining about missing out on either Dr Pepper or Pop Tarts, especially since both were briefly available a bit over a decade ago. I recall there being free Dr Pepper promotions at my school (which seems a little odd in retrospect) and hating the stuff even though it was free, sugary and I was 11, which is hardly a good sign. And Pop Tarts seemed like such a great idea in theory but were mostly too sweet. We bought them a few times but I wasn't really disappointed when they disappeared from shelves.

To sum up: Australian food > American food

The Blue Mountain Dew they have at Taco Bell is actually Mountain Dew: BAJA BLAST, which is supposed to make it sound fun and refreshing, but really just makes it sound worse than any fizzy drink ever conceived in a human mind.

Okay, maybe it's not that horrible.  I would maybe drink it if no other non-toxic non-urine liquids were available.
Title: Re: OH SHIT
Post by: Eris on 21 Nov 2008, 00:26
Mountain Dew here doesn't even have caffeine in it. So we miss out on such wonders as BAJA BLAST flavours, and don't even get the caffeine hit in compensation.


Also, I found an IGA in Canberra that sold all manner of American stuff, with Pop Tarts and Reeses Cups, along with Cherry Coke and Dr Pepper right next to the fruit and veg. They also sold Milk Duds and Hershey's chocolate and peanut butter M&Ms and other stuff I can't remember. It was a strange little supermarket. However, the one time I went in for the sole purpose of buying Pop Tarts, they didn't have any there. I (sadly) almost cried.

I have actually been to Target twice in the past 12 hours. I went to the Fargo one last night and got some Tim Tams, and also a battery charger and a cardigan. And there was this dress there that was fabulous and the small was just a little too small and the large was just too large. So this morning I got up and went to the Moorhead Target but they didn't even have the dress, much less in a medium, but they had the turquoise shoes I've been looking at. On clearance. In my exact size. For $6. Hells yes.

yay Target!

Graham crackers today are made of regular flour instead of the original coarse ground wheat flour.

So I guess you can't fend off unpure urges with modern day smores.

I dunno.  Maybe the original idea was to have so much fiber in your diet that you never had spare time to self abuse?

That's true here, but it could certainly be different other places, since by and large I don't think they import sodas. Usually they brew soda locally and sell it as the brand. Pepsi in Nicaragua, for example, comes in recycled bottles and is 9x sweeter than American pepsi.

This is a Pocky thread just waiting to happen.

I once nearly gave myself diabetes (not even kidding) at a LAN party. I ate a box of Oreos and slammed something like a gallon of Mountain Dew (one can at a time, bitchesss) and consumed a bunch of other sugary, caffeine-y things.

I felt really really sick for like a month but it was worth it. I was wired as hell and was slaughtering at CounterStrike.

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.

I think they're rather one note drinks with nothing going for them other than a blast of raw high fructose corn syrup.

Worst thing for dibeetus at LAN is Koolaid and Jolt/mountain dew.

Koolaid because by the end of the weekend that kg bag of sugar will be gone, into your body along with 2 crates of mountain dew

Body clock with 91 hour uptime. LAN cancer lasted 2 days one of which was spent asleep.

The kind of thing you don't wanna do more than once a year, so you take it easy at all the other LANs and play alot better since you are not exhausted and without focus.

Jolt is nothing, back when I lived in Springfield Missouri there was this store brand called Thunder Cola, which was supposed to be like Jolt, but my dad would buy it and him and my brothers (We were all still pretty young) would sit around having burp contests.

Man though, I miss the LAN parties we'd have at my high school back in Texas. so much soda/chips/snacks, me and several friends would share, get boosted off of Mountain Dew and then either own at counterstrike, jedi force academy or unreal tournament respectively.

As for this thing called a "Tim Tam Slam", I seem to remember that recently one of the cereal brands came out with these cereal straws, that you were supposed to drink a glass of milk with, the inside of the straw being coated in chocolate or something that was supposed to flavor the milk, and then when you were done you ate the straw. The idea had promise, but we never bought any for testing. Wonder if they have those still around.
Title: Re: OH SHIT
Post by: Eris on 21 Nov 2008, 20:30
My parents used to have something like that when they went to school and they got a little carton of milk provided to them, but they weren't edible. They used to reuse the flavoured straws, so I think fairly soon after that they were taken off the market. However, there are a similar type of thing out now where there are little bead-thingamajigs of flavour in straws, with something that stops them from coming out the top/bottom (little grille type things?) which are popular now here. It's not quite what you're talking about, but still weird.

Further research indicates that my statements were true until Red Bull successfully applied to have the Food Standards Code changed so that "energy" drinks could also have caffeine added. I had previously thought that Red Bull scraped in under "kola" somehow.

Also, I have just learned that guarana is a natural source of caffeine so adding guarana does mean adding caffeine.

Either way, unless Mountain Dew rebrands as an "energy" drink here rather than a soft drink, it can't have caffeine.

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 three one night while studying for an exam and somehow became convinced by about 6am that my internet provider had found out about all my illegally downloaded music and had already sent people out to arrest me and i was going to have to come up with some kind of plot to get out of the country before they got to my house. i had planned on explaining it all to my housemates when i got back from writing the exam, but they weren't home and instead i fell asleep and forgot all about it. it was probably a good thing.

apparantly when you go an extended period of time without sleeping, the delusions and psychotic episodes you experience are very similar to those of schizophrenic patients. MRIs demonstrate that the same parts of the brain are active in both scenarios. it's interesting because many people still do not really understand what schizophrenia is. it isn't multiple personality disorder, but it also isn't just hallucinations; schizophrenic patients also experience episodes of delusional thinking, paranoia and disorganized speech/thought patterns. basically it refers to abnormalities in how you percieve reality. if you've ever gone over 24 hours without sleep you almost certainly can relate to this.
for some reason i've always found this really interesting. not to diminish schizophrenia in any way, it's a really terrible debilitating disease but next time you find yourself extremely sleep deprived and thinking really crazy shit, you'll kind of know what it's like to be schizophrenic! wacky.

I know, I was partually joking, generally what happens is that when I'm really trying to figure something out, and I stay up longer, my average productivity goes down, but since I'm staying up later to figure something out, the eureka moments are better. Does that make sense?

I guess what I'm saying is, that while the coding may end up being shoddy, the breaks that I make while sleep deprived seem to be all the more glorious. Coding can always be fixed if I get the right idea.

I have stayed up several days straight with nothing but huge amounts of sugar to keep me going (I don't drink coffee or energy drinks or anything with caffeine in it). After three days I start to see things moving in my peripheral vision and then objects that are right in front of me tend to disappear, or at least I totally overlook them. This was particularly bad when I worked in a bottleshop and I knocked over three stacks of wine (4 cases to a stack) in one day because I either didn't see them until I was knocking them over or because I was distracted by the dancing shadows that were mocking me from the corner of the room. Eventually if you lose enough sleep your body shuts down from the strain.

Far enough most of that list, but Pop Tarts? Pop Tarts were everywhere in the 90s, everyone was advertising them, not even my mother could get away and ended up falling in love with the strawberry ones.

Here is a list of things which I do not know about:

Hersheys
S'Mores
Mountain Dew
Pop Tarts
Tim Tams
Reese's Cups

I don't think this is because I'm english. I think it's because I had a sheltered childhood.
Hit up American Soda (http://www.americansoda.co.uk/) for all that stuff and use the code "TGF" at checkout for free shipping.

I bought some lucky charms but you can find alot of the stuff in your list there, most of it is reasonably priced but still more than you would pay for similar stuff in the supermarket.
I just take advantage of all the offers that end up in my mailbox (Normally to buy Mountain Dew).

All right...

I went to Target last week and they had a huge empty shelf space where the Tim-Tams used to be.

Now I am really curious.

I have gotten rid of most of the bad food in my house (Pop Tarts, cookies, ect.)  in order to get healthier in my eating habits.

But I am getting a box of these things come hell or high water.

Come

I was about to be shocked that you've never heard of all these things before, but then I remembered how earlier in this very thread I mentioned I had never heard of Target until I went to college.  I guess it's always weird when things one person takes for granted are totally alien to another person.

How did we get from Tim Tams to the psychiatric effects of sleep deprivation?

Maybe it's all related!

How appropriate for somebody with this username to be posting about sleep deprivation. The real Edison invented the lightbulb expressly to fuck with people's sleep, he thought sleep was a sign of being a lazyass.

He was fucking crazy man

i think i might buy some of these Tim Tam things you guys keep talking about.

today seems like the perfect day for it: it's rainy, i just got my internet and PS3 hooked up (finally), i have alot of weed, and my smoking buddy is probably hung over because it was his 21st b-day last night (everyone knows smoking weed cures hangovers).

Actually, by not eating marshmallows StaedlerMars is slightly LESS likely to crush any kittens.

What people like that fail to remember is that the moon has been hit by objects much bigger than that ever since it formed. Some people have set up a petition to say we're apparently defiling the moon's surface.

"What can we as surrealists or lunatics or astrologers or naturalists or anarcho-primitivists or Greens or werewolves or pagans or psychics or UFO groupies or other concerned members of the general public do?

We must soothe the Moon, we bandage her. We implore other celestial bodies and entities to aid her. We will not let her endure this crime or its grim aftermath alone.

We need to communicate to the Moon. Talk to her in our dreams, trances, or meditations, and prepare her for this shock and wound as best we can. Hold her, send out imaginative protection to her, and put our dream bodies out there in front of the bomb. Collectively, we can sabotage the bombing or by imagining all manner of things going wrong, or encouraging the Moon to increase her own magnetic shields. Sing to her. Give her back just a tiny portion of all that she has done for us. We are all created from Moon dust."

Yeah. Werewolves.

I agree.  I like Obama and all, but he hasn't really accomplished anything significant yet.  That would be like giving Einstein the Nobel Prize when he said, "I think light might be made up of discrete packets of energy."
