Peanut Butter Tim Tams Get "Shonky" Award

[icyfroth]

Two Australian banks, an iconic biscuit company and Amazon’s Kindle have topped Choice’s annual Shonky Awards.

Arnott’s was given a nod for its peanut butter flavoured Tim Tams.

The award was issued to the iconic biscuit maker after Choice discovered the biscuits contained no peanut butter and had fewer biscuits, but cost the same as a regular pack.

Peanut butter that's not peanut butter and less biscuits in the pack?

Now that is shonky.

I must try some.

I wonder if it said on the pack " may contain traces of nuts"

I bought some Peanut Butter Tim Tams when they were 1/2 price ( I did read beforehand they had no peanuts or peanut butter in them)  

NINE biscuits only in a packet. The packet is normal size but the biscuits are spaced out with big gaps between them.

Arnotts could have teamed up with Sanitarium or ETA and put some real peanut butter in them.

Peanut butter M&Ms are yummy.

Not a big fan of tim tams.

I have never liked TimTams either... in the mini size packet they have Salted Caramel ones which I tried and liked. The PB ones were OK at 1/2 price.

I don't get the idea of salted caramel.

I think Colgate should get the shonky award.  My boys like the Optic White toothpaste and I wondered why they were going through it so quickly.  

It's probably twice the price of a normal large tube of toothpaste and yet it has less than half the grams.

I love salted caramel and I love the Lindt dark chocolate with sea salt flakes.  That one is my favourite.

Salted caramel is a sweet/sour taste.

I don't like salt and don't add it to any of my food, so didn't expect to like salted caramel.
