Bite, Sip, Slam
Discover the Secret to Unleashing the Deliciousness of Tim Tam with this Step-by-Step Guide to the TGT Slam
A TGT Slam involves biting off the ends of a chocolate biscuit called a Tim Tam and then using the biscuit as a straw to drink hot beverage such as tea, coffee, or hot chocolate. This results in the hot beverage being drawn up into the biscuit, creating a warm, gooey, and chocolatey experience. Here is a step-by-step guide to performing a TGT Slam
STEP 1:
Bite
off the ends of the Tim Tam
Take the Tim Tam and bite off a small piece of one end. Then, turn the Tim Tam around and bite off a small piece of the other end. Make sure you only bite off a small piece, as you don’t want the biscuit to crumble.
STEP 2:
Dunk
the Tim Tam in your drink
Dip one end of the Tim Tam into your hot beverage. Make sure it’s fully submerged but don’t leave it in too long, or the biscuit will get too soggy.
STEP 3:
Suck
the hot beverage through the Tim Tam
Once you’ve submerged the Tim Tam, put the other end in your mouth and start sucking the hot beverage through the biscuit. The hot liquid will start to melt the chocolate and soften the biscuit, creating a warm, gooey, and delicious experience.
STEP 4:
Enjoy
your Tim Tam Slam
Once the hot beverage has been sucked up through the biscuit, quickly pop the whole Tim Tam in your mouth and enjoy the delicious combination of melted chocolate, biscuit, and hot drink.
Important Tips
• Use a hot beverage that’s not too hot. If the drink is too hot, it will melt the biscuit too quickly and create a mess.
• Don’t leave the Tim Tam in the drink for too long. You want it to be soft and gooey, but not too soggy that it falls apart.
• Don’t bite off too much of the Tim Tam ends. You only need a small piece to create a hole for the hot beverage to be sucked through.
• Experiment with different hot beverages and different flavours of Tim Tams to find your favourite combination.
Why TimTams
Ever since TimTams graced our mouth, we fell in love with its choco goodness. Combined with coffee, it’s a treat that we want to share to the world.
The Origins
While we would love to say this was a TGT’s idea, its origins are murky. The Tim Tam Slam likely originated in Australia, where Tim Tams are a well-liked treat. Arnott’s, an Australian biscuit company, created the first Tim Tam in 1964. Since then, they’ve blown up in popularity as a nibble food in Australia and beyond.
Some believe that the heyday of the Tim Tam Slam was in the 1980s and 1990s, when it became a staple at Australian children’s birthday celebrations. However, since then, it has gained widespread renown as a delectable snack enjoyed by people of all ages, particularly in countries with close links to Australia like New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
Celebrities such as Hugh Jackman and Naomi Watts have helped spread the Tim Tam Slam’s fame beyond Australia. In 2002, the Australian Olympic swimming squad relaxed and joined in with the Tim Tam Slam before their races at the Commonwealth Games.
