One of the most beloved confectionary items around the world would have to be the dulcet dark chocolate make up of the Tim Tam. A biscuit that is supposedly available only on the shores of Australia. The island continent is also known to have tried to implement a 'White Australia' policy.
There is now a White Tim Tam out on the shelves. The White Tim Tam is far inferior to its Dark sibling, it is creamier and sickly sweet, close to sacchrine—which just happens to be coal—and fails to justify being labelled as a Tim Tam. It is joined in the White over Dark ranks with such absurd retardations as the Big Kit Kat finger and the newly released White Wagon Wheel.
It would appear now that the territory covered so well by the dark cocoa is being wrestled away by inept and foul tasting milk chocolate. Society can be seen in the chocolate. How long until the White chocolate will cause an imbalance in the world and be the harbinger of its own demise?
