Why just today I had a buttered biscuit (nothing fancy, just a biscuit--the kind we Americans eat) which I dipped into my tea. It was quite good! Jaberwocky6669 July 5, 2005 02:55 (UTC)

But you didn't actually suck the tea through the biscuit did you? Clearly you've completely missed the point. Anonymous July 5, 2005 6:02 (GMT+10:00)

Maybe it takes our yankee cousins time to acclimatise to the proper practice of eating a packet of chocolate biscuits with tea An An 5 July 2005 09:48 (UTC)

I agree that this article should be renamed 'Tim Tam Slam' and cleaned up. It's becoming a valid element of Australian culture despite its mundaness. I have never heard the term 'Tea-sucking' either so dont find the term so valid. I think we should leave the 'Tim Tam Slam' part on the Tim Tam page though and just above it include; Main article: Tim Tam Slam. What do you think? - UnlimitedAccess 19:54, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

Oh and who the hell does it with Tea?? I have only ever heard of people doing it with Coffee or Milo?! - UnlimitedAccess 19:57, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
People who drink tea do it with tea! Especially sweet tea. Everyone I know who has done the slam has done it with tea; it's just an enhancement of the delicate biscuit/tea dunk after all. --Trxi 12:26, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Tim Tams are spreading

Tim Tams are becoming available across the British Isles. The Tesco in the Isle of Man started to stock them recently, and I believe they are quite common in UK supermarkets. The Tim Tam is of exactly the right consistency to slam; a Penguin goes a bit too syrupy. Ali0th 09:25, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
