Costco Shoppers Are Flocking to Tim Tam Cookies Amid Global Frenzy Costco shoppers across the United States have been engaging in a frenzied rush to stock up on boxes of Tim Tam cookies, the iconic Australian treat that has finally made its way to American stores. The “Australian Oreo,” as it is often called, has become a sensation at Costco locations, with customers hoarding multiple boxes to satisfy their cravings. The cookies, known for their unique triple-layered structure—two malted chocolate biscuits surrounding a creamy cocoa filling, all encased in a textured chocolate shell—are now available in bulk packaging at $13.69 per box, offering six sleeves (66 cookies) per purchase. Despite the price, demand remains high, with shoppers loading their carts with multiple boxes, creating a chaotic yet enthusiastic atmosphere in the aisles. The Tim Tam Slam, a ritualistic way of enjoying the cookie, has become a key part of the frenzy. This technique involves biting off the diagonal corners of the cookie, submerging one end in a hot beverage, and sucking the liquid through the cookie like a straw. Once the cream inside melts, the cookie is then consumed before it dissolves entirely. The practice, which originated in Australia, has gained global attention, with American customers quickly adopting the tradition. Reddit users have praised the experience, with one Redditor declaring, “My Australian friend said to drink your coffee through them like a straw,” while another expressed their devotion by purchasing 8-9 cases of the cookies, stating, “They’re the BEST store-bought cookie ever. I’m willing to die on that hill.” The Tim Tam’s popularity has also extended to celebrities, who have shared their own versions of the Slam.#costco #tim_tam #arnotts #kelly_clarkson #isla_fisher
