Tim Tams and Yowie candy at Walmart!

[flyawayraven]

Oh yeah, they did indeed used to be cadbury.  I think the only reason there was a gap in production was because the people who owned the license for the characters couldn't come to an agreement with Cadbury over production.  They were Australia's highest selling chocolate when they were last in production.  And you're right, the new chocolate is not as good, that's for sure.

Yeah looks like they discontinued them due to a licensing dispute. :/ Apparently the US is going to be the test market for the new Yowies and then they'll bring them over to Australia, which seems kind of odd to me.

I know a few years ago Pepperidge Farm, who is apparently a sister company of Arnott's, distributed Tim Tams to select stores in the US. Supposedly they were imported from Australia and just packaged with the Pepperidge Farm logo. Depending on who you ask the Pepperidge Farm ones either taste exactly the same as the Arnott ones, or completely different.

Basically not-American chocolate is far superior is all.

Enjoy the German chocolate during your stay! I think Milka is by far the most delicious!

Tim Tams   Wish we got them up here.  We did have the Pepperidge Farms ones at our grocery store around Christmas the year my husband moved over (2009)...and then we've never seen them again.  They weren't the same but they were close enough, haha.

Time to bug my mother in law I think, LOL!

WHAT ISLE are they on!? Where do I find them?!?

Aww you got the Yowies figure I wanted! The problem with them is there's a high chance of getting their mascot characters instead of the animal ones,and they are reallllyyy ugly at that.

I bought two at a specialty candy store over a year ago and gave up after that since I didn't get one animal one at all.

Just have them sitting around and don't know what to do with them because i don't think a thrift store would accept them due to their small size. Close to just throwing them out.

I know Savers has had bags of Squinkies and those are pretty tiny. If not you could just leave them somewhere random like a park bench in the hopes that someone picks them up.

Tim tams... so freaking delicious! Sometimes I go to Costco to get the bulk packs, but they only have original and I LOVE the white chocolate ones... mmmmm... sorry guys, I have to go fetch a cloth to clean the drool off my keyboard now, unless I get distracted and end up going out to buy tim tams!

We get Yowie chocolate "eggs" at work - the little figures inside them are so cute! So far I've only ended up with a little Yowie monster guy and a couple of platypuses (platypi?).
