They've really thought about this stuff!!

Opposite corners of the Tim Tam are bitten off, one end is submerged in the drink, and the drink sucked through the biscuit. The crisp inside biscuit is softened and the outer chocolate coating begins to melt.

Ideally, the inside of the biscuit should collapse but the outside should remain intact long enough for the liquid to reach the mouth. Refrigerating them helps to preserve the outside coating while allowing the inside of the biscuit to melt. The thicker chocolate coating on the Double Coat Tim Tam offers a more stable structure to prevent a premature collapse. The caramel centre of the Chewy Caramel variety helps to hold the biscuit together for a slightly longer time.

Here's my Tam stash so far. I've been buying a couple of packs everytime I see them on sale.

3x Tim Tam Original
3x Tim Tam Chewy Caramel (my favourite!)
3x Tim Tam Classic Dark (I believe HawaiiBigSis is a fan?)
1x Tim Tam Double Coat
1x Tim Tam "Crush" Honeycombe
1x Tim Tam "Crush" Mint Crisp
1x Tim Tam "Sweet Surrender" Black Forest Delight (someone on the forum requested these, but I can't find the post and don't remember exactly who it was.)

Hoping to bring more.

I assume that, by "1x" you mean one box, and not one single Tim-Tam. (That's what your photo implies, at least.)

If you would be so kind, I would like to try at least one single Tim-Tam of each of these:

"Crush" Honeycombe
"Crush" Mint Crisp
"Sweet Surrender" Black Forest Delight

I never had those flavors, before.

In return, I'll find something for you to try, perhaps.

I might be willing to share a pack of the Classic Darks with HBS, but I need an entire pack of the Mint Crisps for myself, please... :D

Hmmmm... I've never had the Chewy Caramel either.

Chris, you are going to be a very popular person!

Shiny new job has one draw back. No TAM this year. On the plus side I'll probably be in Mississippi that weekend. Mississippi is better than Vegas, Right? Right!?

Absolutely! Some of the greatest music in the world can be found in Mississippi. What part will you be in?
 
e drink all the blood that the newbies shed, when they are put through The Gauntlet.

Except for vegetarians. They drink tomato juice as a substitute.

I'm vegetarian. I prefer my tomato juice with vodka, Tabasco, Worcester Sauce, salt and pepper. Is that too much too ask? (I'm also a newby. Ask me about transferable diseases before drinking my blood. :P)

Yes, it is too much to ask. You know that worcester sauce is not veggie, right?
