Dude, Where’s my Tam Tams?

The AJC recently ran a wire story about the shortage of Tam Tams this year for Passover.
According to a story from the San Jose Mercury News on April 3, there will be no Tam Tams on grocery shelves due to a manufacturing glitch. The kosher little cracker will not be available in time for Passover, which begins this year at sun down on April 19.
Holy Moly! This is SUCH a big deal. Manischewitz, the manufacturer who makes the yummy, crunchy crackers, says they will appear on shelves later this spring. I mean, it’s sort of like Easter with no chocolate bunnies. According to the article, this is the first time since 1940 that the crackers will not be available in time for the holiday. Losses? Purported to be between 1 and 2 million bucks. Ouch.
Personally, I don’t need Passover as an excuse to eat these bite-sized babies — I love them. I’m just wondering what Jewish families around the Atlanta area are planning to do? Do no Tam Tams make a difference to you? Or will your Passover plans remain unscathed?
