Thread Name: BS: What are Tim Tams?
Subject: RE: What are Tim Tams?
Experiment;

To test pososity of Tim Tams, and assess suitability as drinking implements, especially in the case of beverages such as coffee, etc.

Equipment;

2 Tim Tams
1 cup of tea

Prediction;

The chocolate will not stand up to the temperature of the tea.

Method

The tea was allowed to cool to an appropriate drinking temperature. Opposing corners of the Tim Tam were nibbled off, and suction applied at one end, drawing air into the mouth. The experiment was repeated with one corner dipped in the tea, while suction was applied to the other.

Results;

Air passed successfully through the control Tim Tam. In the case of the one dipped in tea, the result was a very messy pyjama top. One unforeseen result was the speed at which the biscuit structure broke down, destroying porosity.

Conclusion;

Who was that nun kidding?

Planned future extension of research;

Repeat experiment with cold beverage.
