Now i'm feeling so ripped off!!!

Normal packs have eleven which is inconveniently prime and thus difficult to share. The double coated ones [drool] have nine, because they are extra thick. Are the pink ones extra thick too?

Put them in a "container"? That thing is usually called a "stomach" you know.

No, there's no double coating or anything on the pink wish ones. They've just made the partitions between the slots where the biscuits go a bit wider.

I think they're trying to make up for the 10 cent donation. Either way, I feel ripped off, but I'll still buy them because they taste great, and it's for a good cause.

Do I look like the kind of girl who'd eat a whole packet of tim tams in one sitting? lol

Cheap buggers. I'm sure they make more than 10 cents per pack, AND they'd get a tax deduction for the donation, AND they'd get extra sales from the publicity.

Some biscuits come in resealable (or at least closable) boxes. Tim Tams do not. There is a reason for this.
