I think Tim Tams have heaps of salt in them, and penguins might not have the chocolate no melt additive in them which makes the chocolate tastes different. Tim Tams πŸ‘Ž

Thanks very much for the great listening enjoyment. One question: if tasting more than one thing, how do you cleanse the palate to ensure the 2nd and 3rd products get a fair taste comparison?
