    You're right - the thought of a catastrophe gives me paws.

    Litterally!

    :lol:

    I am all out of cat puns. I haven't been properly groomed for this type of situation.

    But we've just scratched the surface!

    You two need stop all this tomfoolery. We were but a whisker away from figuring out the magical combination of green tea cookies and McChickens that will lead to maximum weight loss. Let's try to shed more light on the subject, shall we?

    Jeez, no need to get catty. We were just having a bit of pun!

    Meow meow, no need to make it purrsonal. Cat puns can get a bit prepawsterous though.

    I'm pretty sure that a green tea flavoured cookie pizza in a hamburger bun is the perfect thing to drink in the morning for the most efficient weight loss.

    I think it needs more Peeps.

    Well, as @Alatariel75 is the originator of this awesome miracle, I left the peeps out, since you can't get them (from what I've seen at least) in Australia. Maybe one microwaved to explosion on the top? Or should it be used as a chaser for days where you need that extra fat blasted?

    Us Aussies are going to stay fat if we can't get our paws on some Peeps!
    Maybe, Arnott's should come out with a green tea flavoured Tim Tam.

    To all Aussies,

    I am in Canada and have access to Peeps (Easter, Halloween, Xmas styles). Am willing to organize a trade route of Peeps-TimTams.

    zyxst

    Psst...zyxst...you can already get TimTams here. I found them at my local FreshCo. :)

    I think I had a TimTam once...are those the layered cookies that people like to dip in cocoa?

    Mine never make it to cocoa.

    I'm willing to set up an exchange - there are currently new TimTam flavours - including Salted caramel, Red Velvet, Dark choc raspberry and three bean (vanilla, coffee cocoa). They did have dark choc orange but they were limited addition... I may or may not have a stockpile however...

    Don't forget the peanut butter ones.

    No, no no no no. They're peanut butter 'flavoured' - they don't even have any real peanut butter in them! No peanuts at all!! It's a damn travesty!!

    Oh my dear Flying Spaghetti Monster save me... I had almost forgotten the horror of peanut butter Tim Tams...

    :(

    You do NOT want to know what their flavour was like.

    Now I'll have to hunt down some Reese's Peanut Butter Cups to make me feel better.

    Omg! A friend was telling me about some 21 day plan she wanted to buy to lose 10lbs. I am always on her case about drinking regular sodas because she is newly type2 and in denial and refusing to take meds because "they could be bad for you". So I asked her to first stop drinking soda or at least switch to diet for 21 days before spending over $100 on the pills/plan. Her response was "I can't do that and I don't like diet or water and the point of the pills is that you don't have to change anything else. You just take the supplements."
    Soooooo... Then even if they work what's the point of losing 10lbs? It's just going to come right back and it won't help your type2. She didn't have a response to that and I think she was kinda mad at me for a short time.

    Sorry can't agree with you there. Nothing tastes better than a Tim Tam slammer. I love the originals in coffee, but a white chocolate one in a green tea latte is phenomenal as well.

    I'm sorta continuing with the green tea thread...do green tea lattes count?

    I'm keen to try this green tea latte. I also make Tim Tam cheesecake, and Tim Tam balls - easiest thing ever and SO amazing. Throw a packet of Tim Tams, your flavour of choice, in a food processor and obliterate. Add in enough condensed milk (slowly) to be able to roll them into balls then roll the balls in shredded coconut. Cue mouthgasm.

    Stir green tea with green tea Pocky?

    Green tea, huh? No wonder, I've been doing it the wrong way all the time. Black. Thanks for clearing things up.
