How To Tim Tam Slam

24th October 2017

Otherwise known as Tim Tam Shotgun, Tim Tam Explosion and Tim Tam Suck, the Tim Tam Slam is a well-known snack/drink combo in Australia.

The Tim Tam is a favourite Australian biscuit snack. The classic version features two malted-chocolate biscuits sandwiched together with a chocolate cream filling coated in real, smooth chocolate. They are similar in taste and appearance to the British Penguin biscuit. There are many delicious Tim Tam variations, check out the full range of Tim Tam flavours here.

How To 'Tim Tam Slam'

1. 1 - Bite off the opposite corners of your Tim Tam of choice.
2. 2 - Dip one corner in your hot beverage, you're going to use it as a straw to suck up the drink.
3. 3 - Suck hard! As soon as the liquid hits your lips, quickly slam the whole melty warm Tim Tam in your mouth in one delicious go.

Don't delay, once the liquid hits your mouth you have only a matter of seconds before the structural integrity of your Tim Tam is compromised and your drink, hand and surrounding area will bare the brunt of the explosion.

Here's a great demonstration from Natalie Imbruglia:
