Dovey just shut up. I for one am rather excited about this. I need to go to Target!

KvP · « **Reply #3 on:** 19 Nov 2008, 19:51 »

Target will survive this recession, based on the Tim Tams profit margin.

Clearly God wants me to gain weight this Holiday Season.

calenlass · « **Reply #16 on:** 19 Nov 2008, 20:43 »

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

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?

squawk · « **Reply #17 on:** 19 Nov 2008, 20:45 »

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

Baked into them. I dunno, most of the scones I have ever seen have like raisins or sultanas or blueberries or something baked in.

Also I guess they are sweet too. Ok.

Slick · « **Reply #22 on:** 19 Nov 2008, 20:53 »

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.

squawk · « **Reply #23 on:** 19 Nov 2008, 20:56 »

I want some Mint Slice balls that have been in the freezer for a while. Actually, I just want some chocolate now and the doublecoat tim tams have been eaten already.

Fuck you guys!

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.

Tim Tams are a rip-off of Penguins, it seems to me.

Trivia: When I was a child, if we had a Penguin at teatime I would fold the wrapper into a boat and float it in my tea.

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.

They have smoother sweeter chocolate than penguins, and the biscuit is also more like... umm... superior.

Oh yeah. Another awesome biscuit. After moving back here from the UK, I craved these for years. Fortunately now they're in the supermarkets here too.

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.

Man my lady wants to either move to Seattle or Vancouver when it's time for her to go to college. All of the other important factors have been weighed in (music scene, good art school for her), but the fact that Canada gets both Commonwealth treats and Oreos? Man, fuck Seattle.

AanAllein · « **Reply #43 on:** 20 Nov 2008, 04:36 »

I've never really understood Tim Tams. They're okay I guess? Too rich for my taste. I guess they are kinda unique, so I could see how someone could be obsessed with them if they weren't in every supermarket ever.

CardinalFang · « **Reply #44 on:** 20 Nov 2008, 05:10 »

For those Americans with a World Market nearby you can get Arnott's Chocolate Biscuits 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.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #45 on:** 20 Nov 2008, 05:22 »
