Vegemite (of course)
Caramello Koalas

Getting the picture? ;)
Sigh, I love me some Tim Tams.
I keep hearing rumors that Arnotts is selling them at Targets here in the states.
None of the ones in my city have ever even heard of them, bastards.


But yes. Send the Tim Tams.
I'd say Milo. But I wasn't particularly fond of it; so I'm not too sure on that one. I know most Aussies eat them together.
Although I should have known I wouldn't like Milo, a youtuber said it was like ovaltine. And I hate ovaltine :x
I've just been spoiled on NesQuik.

I will confirm Ev's sentiment: Milo is quite unlike Ovaltine. xD Totally different taste and texture. Milo is crunchy; Ovaltine is not (for example xD).

lol no, I didn't.
It's been YEARS since I've had ovaltine.
I don't remember exactly what it tastes like, just that I absolutely did NOT like it (as in, i had one sip and it came right back out.)
And I didn't like Milo either, so I assumed it was similar ;D

Targets in MN carry Tim Tams made by Pepperidge Farm. They're in the cookie aisle.

Ah, Tim Tams don't like Sconnies. ;) hahahahahaha.

I don't see why you wouldn't get them. I didn't even realize we sold them. Have you checked your local target? DO IT!

I'll UPS you some Tim Tams. My store has a freakin' ridiculous amount of them in stock. :) Only the Chocolate and Caramel varieties though.

Oh, and jealous!? MUHahahahahaha. I'm so jealous of your cheese and your...Packers who definitely clinched the division title...oh wait. ;) I'm sorry I had to do it. Actually, the cheese isn't that bad. :D

I love me some Kaukauna spreadable cheese ;D
only from Kaukauna, WI! ;)

I have no idea what division title even means, but i'm assuming Brett's Vikings won it? :P
The whole football thing really means nothing to me rofl. I only found out like two games ago what all the different downs meant. I thought first down was a point and second down, two points. rofl.

Yea, the kaukauna port wine cheese is freakin' delicious!

And they are not "Brett's Vikings" they are The MINNESOTA Vikings. :p Fair enough though, I love me some Viking Football (before Favre was a Viking. I'm not a fan of him really)!

Although to clarify- I've only ever had the chocolate ones.
Apparently they come in a bunch of flavors now? I'm not sure ;D

I tried vegemite while I was there in the 9th grade.
It's like soy sauce, salt, and a little ketchup all mixed together.

Tasted great with just a little butter on toast though!

vegemite is awesome. most people make the mistake of thinking it's like peanut butter and that you have to spread a lot on. massive mistake! if you haven't had it before at least. i do actually know people that love to pile it on their toast. ew. lol.

An Australian version of Left 4 Dead 2. So they can have a good laugh at the failure that is Australian censorship.

Also, some money? if you can let go of a few bucks. Oh and the TV guide or a newspaper. Thats alway fun.
