I see TimTams mentioned and I gotta say how good they are. If you haven’t tried them, you need to. So good!

I find them overrated. It's just sugary junk food.

They're overpriced though. I recommend the hilariously-badly-named Aldi alternatives, Just Divine. They're like 90% as good as the name brand, at literally half the price.

Don't go the Woolies home brand ones though. Those are terrible.

Tim tams go on sale at half price every few weeks at colesworth, you should never pay full price for them.

100% agree the Woolies home brand ones are downright atrocious. Since I was diagnosed coeliac it’s been nice to see Arnott’s do a gluten free version but those are very pricey and probably only 80-90% as good as the originals. The rest of the Arnott’s GF range is pretty great though.

Nah. Still mass produced sugar trash. Are you funded by them?

An American investment firm bought Arnott's and the quality of their products dropped significantly. They also went from $2 a pack to $8 in like 5 years while a pack went from 12 biscuits to 7 in the same sized package, and the chocolate is shit now.

Like everything, they used to be amazing, then rich Americans stepped in.

So classic capitalist enshittification. Wish I was surprised.
