So I have this box of Australian TimTam

[narcotic]

This is what I'm talking about. And I wonder how many of these are safe to eat at once. I've already pulverized 3 pieces, and I'm starting to feel a little funny in my belly...

Also I've heard aussies have special ways of eating those? Do share your knowledge..

Tim Tams are a chocolate biscuit made by Arnott's Biscuits, Australia. A Tim Tam is composed of two layers of chocolate malted biscuit, separated by a light chocolate cream filling, and coated in a thin layer of textured chocolate.

According to Arnott's, around 35 million packs are sold each year ? nearly 400 million biscuits, an average of approximately 1.7 packs per Australian.

i would eat that

i think you are safe eating 1.7 of them , at a time

It's not safe; you've already eaten too many. You should put them down and send the rest to me.

Bite the ends off and use it as a straw.

Oh how I miss thee, TimTams.

Thanks for noting that it's the "double coat" one because otherwise I would be so confused about which Australian chocolate candy you were referring to. I consider myself an expert on New Zealand confectionery treats but I still have not tackled AUS yet.

Oh ok, got you apparently aussies take their TimTams very seriously.

Tim Tams FTW!

I like them, but I don't love them.

Now, the missus on the other hand...

Bite off both ends, and suck coffee through it :thumbsup: My year in Australia has not tamed my wife's affliction for TimTams, and she still has people send them!

 

[robphelan]
