The "Tim Tam Slam"Apparently of Australian origin, this feat involves making a straw out of a Tim Tam cookie by biting off diagonal corners, sucking coffee into it and swallowing it quickly once it becomes mushy. This was at supper on Jan. 27 at the Suttons' with LUCF students Kara and Kevin.

Now, why didn't I think of this? (People kept calling it "life-size" Jenga, which I found amusing.)

I've added a correction below re. my Mum's TV show in the 60's. Apparently, she got the gig because she submitted a recipe they liked and they wanted her to demonstrate it. This led to more appearances and THAT led to her gas stove demonstrating job. (I don't think we ever had a gas stove during that time.)
I had never heard of Tim Tams before so I read about them on Wiki:

You must have had the Arnott's Tim Tams since you are in Canada (unless they were imports). So really you should call it the Tim Tam Suck as that is what the Arnott's company prefers:)
I did have a similar cookie in England- penguins. We didn't know how to properly enjoy them though. I don't remember them from Australia, maybe mom or dad or robin might....
