Tim Tam Slam

It's a bickie, not a cookie. Named after the winner of the 1958 Kentucky Derby, it's Australia's equivalent to the iconic Oreo. How do they make them? How do you eat them? Tim Tams! They almost make up for the Vegemite.
Tim Tams are awesome. I was so excited to learn they've recently become available in Canada.

Hold on one cotton picking minute.
Vegemite is awesome. The problem is the yanks keep applying it an inch thick like they're spreading peanut butter on thick toast. Sure we put it on that thick because we've been eating it our entire lives but if you're not used to it you'll probably end up scarred for life if you put that much vegemite on a piece of bread and bite down.

You're forgetting the special limited edition Vegemite TimTam, created to mark the anniversary of Prime Minister Harold Holt's historic meeting with the Chinese.
Of course, the Vegemite TimTam has its own particular kind of slam - it goes best with a nice hot mug of Bonox.

I think some of the problem is the vast number of Aussies who seem to think it's hi-larious to feed us 'yanks' Vegemite toast with it spread on like peanut butter. Despite that most of them insist they don't actually eat it that way. Which I don't understand, because if you want us to like the stuff, don't serve it in a way that makes people run away!
I'm American and I love the stuff in moderate amounts. But all my Aussie friends say they don't put it on thickly.) Wheat toast, butter, Vegemite. It's my breakfast about half the time (so long as I can get my hands on Vegemite, which is harder than it sounds sometimes)
I love Tim Tams, but the Tim Tam Slam just grosses me out. Soggy cookies are NOT made of win.

When I first introduced my partner to the Tim Tam Slam, she was dubious. Now that's the only way she'll eat Tim Tams. The way they disintegrate in your mouth, especially on a cold winters night... well, it's just awesome.
The double chock Tim Tams are great, by the way.

As a kid, I used to deconstruct them by nibbling off the sides, removing the top and peeling the filling out. Vegemite rocks but needs equal parts butter.

Effigy2000: Double choc Tim Tams are indeed the greatest Tim Tam spin off ever made.
I find a nice variation of the Tim Tam Slam can be acheived with Earl Grey tea instead of coffee. It's the only way I eat them now.
...and btw I've tried an Oreo once, but they're not a patch on the Tim Tam.

I had a lady come into my store this summer who asked me if we had any 'bikkies'.
It took a while to find out what she really wanted, too, since she assumed that everyone would know what a 'bikkie' was and kept repeating the word at me.
... And then there were all the people who came in asking if we had any 'Italians'. They were really thrown off when I told them that actually, most of the people working there were from the Czech Republic.

OMG! I just ate my first Tim Tam fewer than 10 minutes ago! I saw a video of a Tim Tam Slam (can't search for it--too excited) a week ago and found out they were on sale at Target and my wife came home with them and I tried them and they are yummy! The caramel ones are a little oddly textured but the "other" ones were great!

You're doing it wrong.
The middle bit is meant to melt into choco-coffee sludge, but the whole lot should be in your gob before the biscuit part becomes soggy.

While we're on the subject of Vegemite, I'd like to plug my favourite way of eating it: on raisin toast with lots of butter.
This isn't a joke, either - I got the suggestion from a Vegemite jar, tried it & never looked back - *YUM*!
(and on the subject of Prime Ministers, i'd bet my bottom dollar that John Howard never in his life had a TimTam slam)

Ladies and gentlemen, behold THE GIANT TIM TAM. My husband created that monster for our Halloween party. Here he is cutting it in two. It used 1.2 kilos of chocolate. He's planning on submitting it to that Pimp My Snack website.
Of course, we only ate like 5% of it at the party. So I've had a 2-pound bag of chopped up Giant Tim Tam on my counter for the past month...

Oh I see... a Penguin
The resemblance to a Penguin is superficial only. Tim Tams are less dense and have a lighter chocolate flavour - all the better to facilitate the Tim Tam Orgasm-o-slam. Also tim Tams travel in packs of 12 or more. I have not seen an individually wrapped Tim Tam.

Fool. Tim Tams, like all consumer products, are packaged in groups of prime numbers (in this case, 11), so they can never be fairly divided among any group of people.

Jimbob - is the 11 bickie packet designed so that you're compelled to buy more than one?
Luckily, our beneficient supermarket chains have come to the rescue of us long-suffering consumers on that score. I'm talking about Coles & their latest great marketing scheme: discounts that apply only if you buy two or more of the item in question.
I don't know about anybody else, but I'm so thrilled at the concept of buying two loaves of bread at once that I've gone back to patronising my local Vietnamese bakery.
(and we all know how that sounds: "Hey, your bread is actually alright...have you ever considered adding a cup of sugar into the dough for each loaf?")
Also, web-goddess: your schnookums rocks! Yes, most definitely. Rocking.

Y'do all realise that the Australian equivalent of the Oreo is not the Tim Tam, but the Delta Cream, right? And it's 'bikkie', not 'bickie' ;-)
I never was a great fan of Tim Tams myself - too sickly sweet - but I changed my mind when they came out with the dark chocolate ones a few years ago. On the other hand, the caramel ones manage to be wore than the original. If only they'd invent a Cherry Ripe Tim Tam...
Oh, and if you can't whip your Vegemite up into little peaks, it's not on thick enough. I refuse to argue otherwise with a race of people who think Nutella is 'tasty" ;-)

In terms of iconic status, the Tim Tam is certainly the equivalent of the Oreo - most treasured, most beloved. And "bickie" was chosen over "bikkie" because that was the term used in the manufacturing slide show. If you can't trust sterling journalism like that, what can you trust??

The slightly crazed stare of a Tim Tam addict aka my friend Melissa, who also just became a US citizen. I think this was her reward for the hard work, because she's now buying out every pack she can find in the PA area. If you live there and want to try them, move fast.

I always thought bickie was spelled "biccy." Random googling reveals usage of both spellings. Is this a regional thing?

I wish they'd bring back the fine French Biscuit, Cherry Pims. They're like a Jaffa Cake, only the jelly bit is cherry rather than orange, and the chocolate bit is thick white chocolate rather than the thin dark stuff you get on a McVities.
