teddogI will put up with contract workers from Australia, for they bring the chocolate covered cookies of awesome that are Tim Tams. One guy came in with a pile of different flavored Tim Tams, including regular, Caramel, Latte, Double Coat, Dark Chocolate, Black Forest and Truffle, and two boxes of Tim Tam Balls.
It's a shame that it's so easy to find things like wacky Pocky flavors (chocolate covered cookie sticks from Japan), but it's very hard to locate Tim Tams in any way, shape or form.
On the same token, it's hard to locate even quirky American snack treats up here. I need to drive down to Tops or Wegmans in the next month for Kudos bars and cereal.
An interesting reverse of this can be seen here:

http://www.canadiansweets.com/
Which is very odd to me, because most of what's on those sites are so common. The big three are Areo, Coffee Crisp and Smarties.
It's rather tempting to get a candy swap going here, since Moggy mentioned that there was one she was taking part in. But here, you swap local candy with someone else, so they can try something that they can't get.
