Whether you’re a prawn cocktail crisp kind of person or you stand by the fact that there’s nothing better than a BLT, your meal deal choices<\/a> can reveal a fair amount about you.<\/p>\n

Now, Tesco <\/a>has levelled up its game with a change to its lunchtime offering by adding a new sweet treat to the mix – all for the price of \u00a33.85 (if you’ve got a Clubcard, that is). Behold: the Tim Tam<\/a> era.<\/p>\n

The humble snack – closely associated with the famous Tim Tam slam, which involves biting off a chunk from both ends and then slurping tea through the remains – first made the journey over to UK shores last year. <\/p>\n

Australians had been enjoying the sweet treat since 1964, when it was introduced by Arnott\u2019s, and now, we Brits can either enjoy the biscuit<\/a> as part of our lunchtime line-up or save it for a 3pm pick-me-up.<\/p>\n

Outside of the meal deal, the Tim Tam Original – now in a twin pack format – will retail for \u00a31 exclusively inside Tesco Express stores.<\/p>\n

‘Tim Tam has proven to be incredibly popular in the UK since our launch last year, and the demand to have Tim Tam in an on-the-go format has been strong,’ Amber Dutkiewicz, Tim Tam market development manager UK&I, said of the launch.<\/p>\n

‘We’re excited to offer the opportunity to enjoy Tim Tam in a travel-friendly, snack-sized two-biscuit pack format that is also available in the iconic Tesco Meal Deal.’<\/p>\n

Hailed by some as ‘better than Penguins,’ sweet-toothed Brits have certainly taken to the Tim Tam like a bee to honey.<\/p>\n

‘I am addicted to them. So much so that I go to a big Tesco that’s quite out of the way just to get them,’ one Reddit<\/a> user previously posted in the r\/AskUK Subreddit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

‘I have always seen Aussies raving about Tim Tams, talking about how much better than Penguins they are, now I understand why. I’ve found they have a much more milky\/creamy flavour.’<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, another chocolate devotee described them as ‘fabulous,’ adding that they ‘always had a ready supply of them’ sent over by countless family members living in Australia.<\/p>\n

‘Compared to a Penguin I felt they had a better biscuit, better filling and better variety of flavours,’ they penned, while another fan described the gluten-free alternatives as ‘melt in your mouth<\/a>’ material.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Brits were further treated to yet another flavour: Sweet & Salty Tim Tam biscuits<\/a> \u2013 a unique product inspired by another iconic Australian snack.<\/p>\n

Those who can\u2019t choose between sweet and savoury foods won\u2019t have to as these combine the classic Tim Tam fillings with a savoury cracker nestled between the layers. This spin-off was inspired by Jatz biscuits, also made by Arnott\u2019s, which look rather similar to a Ritz biscuit.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, the holy Tim Tam isn’t the addition Tesco has treated its meal deal fans to of late.<\/p>\n

In addition to your choice of sandwich, pasta pot or salad for a main, you can now swap your packet of crisps<\/a> for a side of what some believe to be the \u2018food of the gods.\u2019 Yes, Pot Noodles.<\/p>\n

The instant noodle snack food<\/a> was added to the supermarket<\/a>\u2019s offering in March, but there\u2019s a bit of a catch \u2013 it\u2019s only available in selected stores across the UK, and it\u2019s only one specific flavour you can get: Chicken & Mushroom.<\/a><\/p>\n
