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 👎

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?
