This looks yummy, but just wondering — why is the person doing the Tim Tam Slam (who looks like Daniel himself) wearing a Diamondbacks (US baseball team) t-shirt?

WHOAAAA
I’ve been doing this my whole lifee…
Since when did it have a name.. and even better. a half- rhyming name ???!?!?!!?!?!?! *in awe at rhymingness

The ul-tomato is having a hot chocolate with a scoop of ice cream and then using the tim tam straw.
The chocolate cream in the tim tam melts and it goes cold again.. then hot.. then cold.. then… …
*drooooools

Now try the TIM TAM SLAM with Ice Cold Bailiey’s Irish Whiskey.
Now THAT is the way to do it.

(PS Having the drink really cold makes the biccie last longer and if you get a few sucks through it the alcohol stays in the chocolate………….. lovely stuff!

Another option (for the pissheads out there) is to do this with port. Suprisingly, the chocolate and the port go rather well together. Especially after the third one.

This tech with sucking the drink up thru the Tim Tam gose back 15 years when myself and my friends used to go to the servo late at night, bord and nothing else to do, bought hot coffee’s and Tim Tams and bit off both ends of the Tim Tams and suck the coffee up thru the Tim Tams till it almost milted the Tim Tams away then ate the Tim Tams befoe it fell apart, it was quite fun. One of my friends started the craze down in Queanbeyan a town next to Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory(ACT). Its not a shock thats it has become so popular.

lol @ ITIMSI …. sure you guys started the craze. Been happening longer than 15 years.

Sorry if I’ve spoiled some trendsetting illusion you may have had.

We introduced this delight to some Yanks a few years ago and in the process coined our own phrase: TimTam-a-lingus……somehow rather appropriate wouldn’t you say??

Here’s a Yank who learned how to slam this weekend by a Canadian. He introduced slamming with The Tim Tam Gospel:

1. Once known, one must spread the Tim Tam Gospel
2. If one does not like the slam, it is not the fault of the product, because the product is, in essence, perfect. It is your own fault.
3. Never slam alone. Slamming alone can lead to:a) addiction; b) dissention when it is discovered all the Tim Tams are gone.

The best slams are done with hot beverages and require no chewing.
One can also do a no hand slam.

Happy Slamming!

We were introduced to the Tim Tam and the correct way to eat one (your slam style) a few years ago while visiting sister in AUS. LOVED THEM. Now, every few months we get our “supply from down under” and continue to Tim Tam Slam here in Virgina. Looking forward to another supply to try with some of the other beverages listed above.

Happy Holidays!

I haven’t done a Tim Tam Slam in years. Are you shocked?

Sadly, my parents were not qualified to teach me, as my family comes from the Netherlands and even now, after 18 years of living in Australia, they probably do not know of its existence. I realise now that this must be changed!

I learnt the wonder of sucking hot chocolate through a Tim Tam in my early teens, when my brother and I were visiting some friends. It was so delicious and so much fun we went on doing it for months with every Tim Tam we get our hands on. Then, sadly, we forgot the secret of the Tim Tam Slam.

But this marvellous page has reinspired me to enjoy my chocolate in the best fashion known to the universe!

(This sounds like it happened an age ago to me. I’d just like to clarify that I’m not 120, but 21.)

TimTams would have to be the most over-rated biscuit, why people go on and on about missing them and why doesn’t Sainsbury’s stock them alongside Vegemite is beyond me. The only thing that they are good for is sucking gin through.
