Aussies are up in arms after Arnott’s announced it’s ‘discontinuing’ this POPULAR biscuit!

Attention Tim Tam lovers! If you're a fan of the Double Coat variant, brace yourselves because we've got some news that's sure to rock your world.

Prepare to say goodbye to your beloved chocolate-covered biscuit masterpiece, as the production of the iconic flavour is reportedly coming to a halt…



The announcement came as a total shock to Tim Tam devotees, who've always considered the Double Coat variant to be the true gold standard of Tim Tam-dom.

Aussies of all ages have been known to go to great lengths just to get their hands on the much-loved snack.



The devastating news was first revealed on Tim Tams' official TikTok account, and it didn't take long for it to send shockwaves across the nation. The caption of the post read: 'We didn't want to be the people to have to tell you this...'

And with those words, it looks like the fate of the Double Coat Tim Tams was sealed.

In the accompanying video, an employee of the company can be seen attempting to break the news to the world. 'How do I tell the world we're stopping production of Double Coat Tim Tam biscuits? Asking for a friend…' they said.



Take a deep breath and listen up, folks, because we've got an update on the Double Coat debacle. Turns out, it was all just a joke!

After the TikTok post caused widespread panic and outrage, the team at Arnott’s have finally come forward to put everyone's concerns to rest.

In a follow-up video, they made it clear that the Double Coat Tim Tams were not going anywhere, and that they were only 'teasing' in their previous post.

OMG, as they say in the recent classics ... doom and gloom beset us and this is the end of civilisation as we know it! THE SKY IS FALLING! A new Dark Age has settled on the world. Business moguls and financiers and stock market operators will be tumbling out of skyscraper windows faster than they did during the Great Depression. Millions of people will be tramping the countryside in search of the last remaining double-dipped Tim Tam in existence and, no doubt, killing anybody who gets in their way. The Mafia will find new ways to extort the goodies from those upright citizens who've managed to squirrel a pack or two away from the rest of humanity. Russia and China will send troops over the borders to hold democracies to ransom if they suspect that stores of Tim Tams have been stashed in underground hiding places. Plus, and this is the cruellest scene of the lot, the world will be subjected, 24 hours a day for weeks on end, to Donald Trump, forefinger raised in the air and not a strand of his impossibly blonde hair out of place, screaming out of the cretiniser, "FAKE NEWS! FAKE NEWS!"

Well airing discontinuing a product is one way of high lighting it and boosting sales or am I just sinical.
