Food, Drink & Dining Out Best Tim Tams

[sabso]

Being the pommie bastard I am, I’ve never had the pleasure of enjoying a Tim Tam. That is until the local shop brought in a load of them just yesterday. So I got a packet of the original flavour for £2 (unbelievably that’s only about $4) which is a fair price I reckon when the same shop charges you more for a bar of dairy milk. Plus they’re exotic so you’ve got to expect to pay a bit more.

The shop had the original, dark and chewy caramel ones. I’ve nearly had all the originals out of the packet but was wondering which ones to get next.

Yes, I slammed like 3 of them in one go.

Yes, they’re like penguins but a bit chunkier and they don’t have shit jokes on the wrapper.

I don’t know exactly which flavours there are so the poll options are from this possibly-dangerous site. They reckon the originals are the best by far but we know popular opinion isn’t always right.

If I was to pick I'd go the original. Don't buy these anymore. Seeing them at $6 is hilarious

For how many biscuits? I paid equivalent of 4 for 9 originals, and I live on the other side of the world.

Is there a massive fat tax?

a regular Tim Tam packet has 11 biscuits.

 

[MisterB]

Originals. On special only. Otherwise, it's a pass.

 

[sabso]

Yeah shit

I don’t feel so special anymore

No idiot is paying the full price. Most these items are sold on special every fortnight.

Like Pringles here. Retail price for a proper tube is nearly 3 quid in some places but everyone waits til they’re on special. I personally wouldn’t pay more than 1.50 for a tube.

[Cruyff14]

Double chocolate is the only right answer.

 

[dumb]

first one in the packet is the tastiest. the last one in the packet tastes like shame.

Biting opposite corners off a Tim Tam (or a choc teddy) and sucking coffee up through them has to be one of life’s guilty pleasures. The way they hold their form then melt in your mouth is just incredible.

Go get some Tim Tams, give that method a go, and get back to me.

I’ll do the same.

Tim Tam Slam.

Not behd, but I think we can come up with something that really describes what a mouth-watering experience it actually is.

Something delicate, blissful and elegant. Silky. Velvety. Satiating.

agreed, I’ve always tried to avoid saying tim tam ‘slam’. It seems more used as a rhymey hype introduction to the unwashed, than something you’d casually refer to among those already in the know. It was better without a name. Some campaigner just put a lame name to it. They’ll probably next concoct a name for the appropriate vegemite’n’butter ratio if they haven’t already (it’s already in the name though, a mite of vegemite).

I recall my father demonstrating it to me around y2k era, long been in the ether amongst dunk bic aficionados. But it’s a rare treat, it is far from your customary base-rate tea’n’bikkies, dipping all 11 is sacrilege, there are others for that to go hard on.
