My Christmas gift from Campbells

Happy New Year!

There are some many things to say and to share. I just don't know where to begin. So how about I just forget it and jump into revisiting an old blog entry of mine: Damn you, Campbells! Sell 'em in the US. Well, guess what, Campbells is sellin' 'em in the US.

It’s true. Pepperidge Farm which is owned by Campbell’s soup which in turn owns Arnotts, Inc., is selling Tim Tam in America under its licensing!!! My sister-in-law called me on December 2 from Target where she had picked up 4 boxes. (Two of those boxes were intended for me!)

After the phone call, I shot an excited e-mail to my Aussie co-worker and we did little happy dances in our offices. (That's an embellishment. I know I did a happy dance) I quickly googled "tim tam in us" to confirm my sister-in-law's story. In the Food Business Review, I found the story.

I will be stopping into Target when I can from now until March 2009 or until supplies last. (By the way, Tim Tam make lovely Birthday gifts.)
