Bid On The Last Case of American Tim Tams, Signed by Hugh Jackman; Proceeds Benefit Charity
May 4, 2009
When I consider what I would view as “a chance of a lifetime opportunity,” I think about going to the Red Hook Ball Fields with Gisele Bundchen, taking batting practice with the Mets and hosting my own TV show on Food Network. Bidding on Ebay for the last case of Pepperidge Farm Chocolate Creme Tim Tams in the United States, signed by Wolverine himself, Hugh Jackman, the proceeds of which would go to the Feeding America charity? Well, no, that falls out of my Top 5.
But when you think about it, this really is “a chance of a lifetime opportunity.” Besides, bidding is only up to $28, with 9 days left on the auction. What do you have to lose? Log on to www.ebay.com/timtam, enter your max bid, and hope for the best. You’re not only helping your stomach or odd memorabilia collection (Hugh’s Herbie Hancock will look great next to your unopened box of Ninja Turtles Cereal), you’re putting food in other peoples’ stomachs too. I just hope the next time we see more Tim Tams in the U.S. it’s for longer than 5 months. Cookietease.

[…] The last case of American Tim Tams is up for auction on eBay and it is personally signed by Australian actor Hugh Jackman. As some of you may know, Tim Tam cookies were available for a limited time in the US exclusively at Target stores from November 2008 to March 2009 (it was distributed by Pepperidge Farm in the US). There hasn’t been any word yet on how well they were selling, but I suspect that many people who picked them up fell in love with them right away. Anyway, there are currently no plans for Tim Tams to make a permanent US stay, so if you’re in the US, this may very well be one of the last chances you’ll be able to pick up an entire case of them. Plus, the good thing is that the proceeds of this auction will go to Feed America, the nation’s leading hunger-relief charity. [via] […]
