TimTam sold in Japan

It says 468 yen (about US$4) for a TimTam. TimTam is a famous chocolate cookie made in Australia. I know it should not this expensive. Is this because yen is too weak to Australian dollar?

When I was in Australia, I used to but it for about 140 yen or so, if I was correct. I will never have any chance to eat it again as long as I’m in this country. With that 468 yen, I could go to McDonald’s instead…

It’s interesting to see what’s picked out from famous products of other countries.
Snapple iced tea, for example was so famous when I was in the U.S. It was always at cafeteria and I remember I used to have it everyday at a lunch time. Minutes made orange juice was as well.
But in Japan, Snapple can barely found while Minutes made even runs commercial on TV.
So TimTam is highly evaluated and picked out from any other competitive chocolates. That’s interesting…People keep paying for that….
