This page is dedicated to the humble Arnott's ™ Tim Tam ™. A biscuit known to cure PMT, cure Bad Hair Days and solve boyfriend problems. Arnotts ™ registered the Tim Tam ™ name in 1959 but didn't launch the biscuit until 1964. A chocolate covered piece of heaven. A Tim Tam ™ comprises of two chocolate biscuits filled with a delicious chocolate creme and covered in a thick layer of real chocolate. And if that was not enough Arnotts ™ now produce five different flavours ... Original, Caramel, Dark Chocolate, , Double Coat, and my favourite ... Mocha Coffee. Heaven!!! Plus, in recent years they have also produced 3 special edition versions - Hazelnut, White Chocolate, and Chewy Choc Fudge. In addition, over the last couple of months, Arnotts ™ have produced a more adult Tia Maria Tim Tam. These biscuits are a variation on the classic Tim Tam with a Tia Maria flavoured creme. My verdict - they're ok but I much prefer the Kalhua Slice, a variation on the Mint Slice, another member of Arnotts ™ chocolate biscuit range. There are a a number of Tim Tam ™ clones on the supermarket shelf, including a no name 'home brand' version, but nothing beats the original Tim Tam ™. Dick Smith Foods ™, is an Australian company whose philosophy is that Australian products (eg cheese, jam, biscuits, soft drinks etc) should be manufactured in Australia by Australians working for Australian owned companies, thereby keeping the profits and employment in Australia to benefit all Australians. Their product range is designed to provide Australian alternatives to food icons which are now owned by multinational or non-Australian interests. For example, the company markets a cordial range to rival Cottee's ™ Cordial, they have their own version of processed cheddar cheese to rival Kraft ™ Cheese, and offer Helicopter Jelly ™ instead of Aeroplane Jelly ™, amongst other products. Normally, I find I can take it or leave it when it comes to Dick Smith's products. Afterall, I prefer matured chedder, rather than cheese that looks like plastic; if I must drink cordial, I support Queensland industry and buy Golden Circle ™; and I haven't eaten jelly for a long time; but I admit to being curious when I first discovered TempTings in the choccie biscuit aisle of the supermarket. TempTings is Dick Smith's version of Arnott's ™ classic biscuit. Ok, I admit it, I bought a packet to try. Yuck!!! For a start, the chocolate coating tastes like compound chocolate (chocoholics will know what I am talking about), the chocolate creme centre was too sweet, and to top it all off - there is a #### nutritional table printed on the side of the packet. Oh please! Tim Tams ™ are about ignoring the fact that they are loaded with fat, sugar and other things nutritionists warn us about and instead provide their own small level of fantasy. </end of rant
