When I was preparing my son for his first stay at sleepover camp for six weeks, I started to collect snacks to send with him. I wanted to make sure all the snacks were non=perishable and parve.
Avi had a simple request: Tam-Tams.
I went to one supermarket -- no Tam-Tams. I went to another supermarket -- no Tam-Tams there either.
Where did they go? Were they so popular post-Pesach, that people had snatched them up, clearing the shelves in the Kosher aisles of supermarkets?
I finally managed to find a clerk in an aisle to ask and was told that the distributor hadn't delivered them in several weeks, that there was some type of problem.
Aha! Now I know what the problem was...
Tam-Tams...it's great to see you back. Make sure you stick around awhile, okay?
