Why have you people witheld timtams from us?

[Zombie_Fish]

I'm never heard of a TimTam, so I'm just going to substitute the word with Batternburg Cake. Why yes, Batternburg cake is delicious, glad you've discovered it. Next try Eccles cake.

Followed by Kendall mint cake.

I, an american have just discovered the tastiness that is timtams made by arnott. Ive heard a lot of people from the UK mention but I had never seen them. A local kroger started selling em. These things are awesome!!!!

Have you heard of the Tim Tam Slam?

 

[Parasondox]

They are just Penguins and Penguins are shit.

You know what surprised me? You all in the US just got Malteasers. Seriously? What jackass of a company blocked them beauties from going to the US. They are amazing. Ok, I know it's Hershey's fault but why?

*double stab*
It's biscuits you traitor of the Empire.

Ma'am will hear about this!

They're Australian, not from the UK, and we've been laughing at everyone who doesn't have them for many, many years.

A. How dare you credit those dirty Brits with our brilliant all-Australian invention. As if those culinary clowns could come up with something that delicious.

B. We kinda assumed you already had chocolate cream biscuits of some kind.

Sorry id heard it mentioned brits and assumed it came from Britain.

There was a legal dispute (trademark) between Mar's malteasers, and Hersheys whoppers which was settled in 2015.

Although it is strange that a product invented by Americans, owned by americans, and are sold to everyone but americans.

So to answer the OP, it was an american company that prevented you from enjoying a product from another american company. Go go trade laws.

What's a "timtam"? You didn't even provide a picture! For shame!

Second: The UK folks drink their tea without sugar. Who drinks their tea without sugar?!? There's no understanding anyone who drinks their tea without sugar. Or honey, even.

Third...wait, timtams are from Down Under? OP: YOU LIED TO US!!!

 

[Addendum_Forthcoming]

Americans are fat enough as it is. We don't want to be responsible for your collective heart attack or diabetic shock.

If we gave wide access to Tim Tams you'd stop eating your fake chocolate, lose a leg to diabetes. 300+ million Americans on electric mobility scooters. I'll take zombies, nuclear war, and sudden ice age combined over a plaguing horde of mobility scooters.

With delicious chocolatey-ness comes sticky responsibilities.

Because we're mean and don't like you to have our awesome stuff. Sucks to be you rest of the world.

See? Your withholding (or some sort of licensing) forces us to make our own, often crappier, versions of what Europe and the UK has to offer. See American Dr. Who, Big Brother, Cracker and The IT Crowd [https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xmjpk4], which was unbelievably not funny at all despite copying the UK pilot almost word for word.

OP, I highly recommend finding some Biscolata Stars [https://www.google.com/search?q=Biscolata+Starz&safe=off&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjevOj70IDWAhVprlQKHXXOA2sQ_AUICigB&biw=1165&bih=821#imgrc=R10vlPoN8XxiuM:]. They're from Turkey and sold in many places in the US.

Ok, the cast of The IT Crowd was so perfect and awesome, there is NO WAY you could make an American version with anyone else! Richard Ayoade alone...like...come on!

I dont think even the UK could recast that show and not be total garbage.

Edit: Ugh, actually started watching the pilot...Chris Moss is also amazing. And though the guy they got to play Roy was a decent pick...they didnt even do his first bit right, taking forever to answer the phone. That part is what made me sure I would like the original show...

Edit 2:...Ok, Ayoade is in the American version too o. o;;

They're Australian, not British.

[Samos205]

Funny thing is, Arnotts is owned by an american company
Also if you liked those you should try chit-chats, basically the same but just a bit nicer

In fairness, Big Brother has always been crap, there is no country on Earth that could actually make that show entertaining.

 

[Mechamorph]

There is an open secret known to the Asians and the Commonwealth aside from those who live in Oceania, the Aussies are great at making food. Even their soft drinks are top notch. Don't believe me? Get some Bundaberg Root Beer and give it a go. Branch out into their other flavours too like Blood Orange or Grapefruit. Odds are you'll like it.

 

[DarthCoercis]

so its a chocolate covered chocolate cookie with a chocolate cream inside.

....

you guys do know there are other flavors in the world right?

There's a good 20 or so flavours, including strawberry cheesecake, salted caramel, mango, red velvet and daquiri.

Well...nudity. I guess that wouldn't necessarily be "entertaining".

Well, now I finally get the "WE WILL START A TIMTAMS CURRENCY EXCHANGE PROGRAM" line from the Freedom Planet Outtakes.
