Hi Merindah. I’m actually a little bit shocked that Arnotts didn’t give credit to the Oxo Cubans for the Tim Tam Slam! I’ll have to give their way another go – I have tried biting the whole top off a biscuit in the past but I think I might’ve bitten too much off. Couldn’t get a good enough seal on the end.
Thanks for the story though – and for the video. The Oxo Cubans are certainly out there aren’t they?

I was introduced to Tim Tam Slams by one of my favourite bands at the time (the 90s)- The Oxo Cubans. They wrote a song about it, but they did it a little differently to they way most people explain it- I think it works much better… Bite a slither off the entire end (not just the corners). Hold it in your teeth as you suck up your hot drink. Have a finger ready to help you shove it into your mouth just before it melts. As you get more practise, you’ll be able to do it without using a finger- no chocolate mess!

I taught many of my friends how to do a Tim Tam Slam. Then Arnotts put out an ad doing it the “wrong” way- I think that’s why the corner thing caught on.
Here’s the song:

Awesome! So glad you mastered it, Caroline! It’s amazing how easily that packet empties, isn’t it? A dangerous skill to have. That 1g of protein does make me feel better about the whole thing though! Hope the replay is as satisfying as your first – I bet it will be! Cheers Jim x

I’m glad to hear other Aussies are spreading the word – it’s so good! Thanks for commenting Melody 🙂
