        <content>Has anyone come across these Australian delicacies anywhere in the GTA, now that Sobeys are importing them (replacing Loblaws)? Last week, I spoke to a Customer Service representative at Sobeys who said, that while they can't tell if an individual Sobeys/IGA/Price Chopper carries one of the three varieties being imported, one can ask for a store to bring one or all three in. </content>

      <content>Strangely enough, I've seen them at the Chinese supermarket just west of Beverley and Dundas called Lucky Moose(?). It's in the aisle to the left of the ramp up to the meat/fish counter and frozen foods section. I'm pretty sure I saw several flavours too.</content>

      <content>I went to the three Loblaws around my area when news first broke of TimTam stock, and none of them had any. Nor did any of the staff have any idea what I was talking about. Luckily I just got back from NZ &amp; Australia, so I have a supply in hand. Double chocolate all the way!</content>

      <content>Thank you, Kai. I found them this afternoon at the Sobeys on Front Street. They are $3.49 a pack, and the three varietals are Original, Chewy Caramel, and Classic Dark. Hopefully, more Sobeys/IGA/Price Chopper etc. will list them.

While Loblaws was the importer last time, a company called Concord Sales in North Vancouver is listed on the packages, and they are Product of Australia!</content>

      <content>Just came across the following news release. Doesn't help if you're looking in GTA - but if you're crossing the border you can satisfy your craving:

Pepperidge Farm&#174; Tim Tam&#8482; Cookies Make American Debut 
Down Under Favorite Now Available in United States at Target Stores Nationwide for Limited Time

Norwalk, CT (Nov. 11, 2008) - Bakers at Arnott's in Australia have been delighting consumers "Down Under" for over 40 years with Tim Tam&#8482;, an iconic Australian 'biscuit' that takes the sweet life from ordinary to Aus-some! Pepperidge Farm, sister company of Arnott's, is introducing this decadent favorite to Americans beginning this November to tempt, tantalize and delight, layer by layer. Both Pepperidge Farm and Arnott's are subsidiaries of Campbell Soup Company.

"In keeping with the tradition of our founder, Margaret Rudkin, Pepperidge Farm is thrilled to introduce Tim Tam to American consumers. Margaret searched the globe to bring back delectable cookies and crackers to the U.S. that are now beloved icons to Americans, much like Tim Tam biscuits are to Australians," said Michael Simon, Senior Vice President/General Manager - Snacks Division at Pepperidge Farm. "We're certain Americans will soon understand why this scrumptious cookie is all the rage in Australia." 

The number one chocolate biscuit in Australia, Tim Tam cookies are truly irresistible! Beneath a smooth layer of heavenly chocolate fudge, between two layers of crispy biscuits, a mouthwatering layer of chocolate cr&#232;me awaits. Pepperidge Farm is pleased to offer Tim Tam cookies in two delectable varieties - Chocolate Cr&#232;me and Caramel. Available exclusively in Target stores nationwide, Tim Tam cookies are sure to bring deliciously sweet cheer to families this holiday season.

With such a loyal following, it's no surprise that Australians consume over 400 million Tim Tam biscuits each year - that's 35 million packs. And earlier this year, a joint poll by The Times in the United Kingdom and news.com.au in Australia ranked Tim Tam as one of the best inventions since sliced bread. Tim Tam came in at number four behind stiff competition: The World Wide Web, penicillin and the TV remote!

Pepperidge Farm Tim Tam cookies are available from November 2008 through March 2009 at Target stores nationwide, with a suggested retail price of $3.39. For additional information, please visit www.pepperidgefarm.com.

Three flavours - original dark and caramel - at $3.50 each.
Was my first time at that grocery and i must say it was so clean!
All the produce looks perfect, and after i took the Tim Tams a stock boy immediately refaced the shelf!</content>
