TimTam vs Japanese BITTE Midnight Cookie Snack Challenge

00:00:02 John Daub: Tim Tams. It is the cookie of Australia. Some might even call this the national cookie of Australia. Because when I think of Australian cookies, I think of Tim Tam. And those of you that are all wondering, what are these Australian cookies doing here in Japan? Well, a viewer named Vaughn sent me more Tim Tams than I ever needed in my entire life to try. But guess what, Vaughn?

00:00:32 John Daub: There just happens to be a new competitor in town. Australia does not have a monopoly on these cookies. Japan's Glico has also made an imitation called Bittae. But isn't an imitation. Can it be better than Tim Tam? Maybe even better can be this one. This is a milk chocolate Bittae and Bittae looks just like Tim Tams. I mean, can you really even see the difference? Check it out.

00:01:03 John Daub: There's Tim Tams. There's Bittae. Two delicious cookies with a chocolate center surrounded by chocolate. And look here. This one has a delicious chocolate center surrounded by two cookies, and both are drenched in chocolate. And today we are going to be eating them, and I'm going to cut them open and compare them, and we're gonna have a challenge. Which one wins? Japan or Australia?

00:01:34 John Daub: And we're gonna find out by. By. Bye. What do you mean? What do you mean? Is that Kanai? That's Kanai. Oh, very good. But what. What. What are you doing back so early? You caught me. Well, I'm gonna be eating these, and I'm comparing them against these. Ah, that's right. We forgot the chill mes. Tim Tam doesn't just have normal Tim Tams. No. Tim Tam decided to go to the next level.

00:02:04 John Daub: Tim Tams. There's a light right there. I can kind of. All right, this is a little bit silly. Tim Tams have a completely different level. These have been in their freezer. These are what's called the chill mes. All right. Well, yeah, look at that. It looks like ice cream if you put these in the freezer. What? Wow, these look really good. I. You know what? I'm starting to doubt whether or not the Japanese Bittae can even compete.

00:02:39 John Daub: There's actually a lot of similarities. When I first ate these Bittae, like, a few years ago, I said, these are like Tim Tams. Now, these cost. I don't know how much the chill me came and the Tim Tams cost because these came to me as a gift. I'm figuring, like, two or three dollars U.S. this costs the same. This is $2 U.S. this has six cookies, and these Tim Tams have, like, an infinite amount of cookies.

00:03:11 John Daub: I think there's like 10 in here. I think there's like 10 in here. But what. What Kanai and I are gonna do, we're gonna compare the Bittae versus the Australian Tim Tams. And everybody knows Tim Tams. Tim Tams are Tim Tams, right? You don't even have to say cookie. They're Tim Tams. But the Bittae we're gonna find out right now. So what I'm gonna do is actually unbox these and see if we can find some similarities to this.

00:03:45 John Daub: You want to try this, Kanai? Yes, of course. Are you hungry? I'm full. But Bittae. Yeah, you gotta bitay barē. Means you have a separate. Separate stomach for food. All right, I'm gonna go with these dark. We don't have any normal Tim Tams, but I'm gonna open this up and I'm gonna show it to you. This is a normal Tim Tam, and I'm gonna unbox this for you. If you've never had a Tim Tam before.

00:04:17 John Daub: Well, check this out. How many? How many is in there? That's a lot. 5, 10. There's more than 10. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. Oh, that's smart. They throw in an extra one. These go to 11. Spinal Tap reference. These go to 11. There you go. All right, now I'm going to unbox the Bittae. And here is the biggest difference between Australian and. This is Western culture versus the Japanese culture.

00:04:50 John Daub: The Bittae have just six, and the price is the same. The Australian Kitkats have 11. But when you open up the Bittae and look at the box on this thing, they didn't wrap it in plastic. Oh, no. Japan went the distance. Cardboard box. Slight glue onto it. Okay, open it up. Oh, look at that. Presentation Japan. Very nice. You open it up, the perforated cardboard opens, and it says, ganbarou anata ni — which means, I think, let's do our best for you.

00:05:21 John Daub: Whoa. This is coffee taste mocha. Now, we don't have an exact one too. Hey, Vaughn, thanks for the super chat. These actually did came from Vaughn. I don't know if we're going to do the Tim Tam slam. This is. I'm not actually marketing Tim Tams, but we will eat them for you. However, the biggest difference, ladies and gentlemen, is that Japanese cookies come wrapped. Each individual cookie is wrapped.

00:05:54 John Daub: This is so Japan. Imagine if Tim Tam individually wrapped the cookies. No, Japan does that. All right, so I'm gonna. I'm gonna take it up another level. So you see all three cookies individually wrapped. This is crazy. All right, now we're gonna do an individual cookie test here. Now, the Tim Tams are easy to. Easy to show you. This is the Tim Tam. That's it. All right, Tim Tam.

00:06:24 John Daub: Now the Bittae is wrapped. So you have to open this up to get to the Tim Tam. And this is where things get really crazy. I know it's. It's like the same. However, it's not the same. What you have is the. Is. Yeah, it's slightly smaller. And the milk chocolate is more milky. Look, it's already melting on my fingernails. The milk chocolate is milkier on this. It's starting to melt.

00:06:55 John Daub: But the Tim Tams have this amazing. Oh, the Tim Tams are starting to melt too. So you can see it's a different contrast for the chocolate. Right. But you can see they look really similar. You can see where the cookie layer is. Everything. All right, before we get too far in, I'm going to cut these open so we can see what the center looks like. I'm starting with the Tim Tam.

00:07:25 John Daub: And now I'm going for the Japanese Bittae. Alright. Good evening, Sri Lanka Flyer. Whoa. I really do not see a massive difference between these. Good morning, Robert. Thank you for the super chat. Do you guys see the difference here? In fact, it's hard. Which one is this? Okay, I'm gonna mix it up here. Which one? Which one is the Bittae? Which one is the. The Tim Tam? Do you even know?

00:07:56 John Daub: Do you know? All right, this is the Bittae. This is the Tim Tam. The Bittae. The Bittae cookie looks just a little bit better. I don't know, it's a little bit thicker, but the center is the same. All right, so the Bittae is smaller, but it makes up in, like, girth. It makes up in the thickness. So that's kind of interesting, I thought. And it's really melting fast. This is disgusting.

00:08:26 John Daub: We're gonna have to eat this. So there's the difference between the Tim Tams here. Oh, man, it's. I should have used the chill me. So we have Bittae and Tim Tam. I'm okay. I'm okay. This is when you just. It's finger licking good. I'm gonna get in trouble. All right, what we're gonna do right now is we're gonna actually try these. We're gonna actually try these here. Yeah, we're gonna try a Tim Tam in a Bittae.

00:09:00 John Daub: All right, come on down. You can get the chair here. Move, John, pause. Thank you, Gretchen, for that. All right. All right, what I'm gonna do. All right, close your eyes. And what's that? So funny. That's not supposed to be funny. This is a true story. All right, I want you to close your eyes, and I want you to tell me which one is better. Okay? Close your eyes. All right, Close your eyes.

00:09:31 John Daub: This is a real test, all right? This is a real test. I'm gonna tell you which one's better, all right? So just open your mouth and chew. Open your mouth. All right, Bite. Bite. All right, Chew. Chew it. Kanai. Kanai. Right. Don't tell me if it's. Don't tell me yet what you think. All right. You finished? Yeah, no, no, she's still working it. Okay. All right, next. Keep your eyes closed.

00:10:02 John Daub: All right, Bite, Bite. Oh, that's a big one. All right. No. Which one's better, the first or the second? I'm not telling you which one is which. I'm hiding it. Which one? Which one's better, first or second? First. The first one, because the second is too soft. The second was too soft. I. Japan. Japan lost. What? You totally. This is the first one. This is the second one. You totally.

00:10:33 John Daub: This is. This is the Tim Tam. And this is the. The Bittae. You. You totally gave it to the Japanese one. Yeah. So that's an. That's really interesting. So you said. You said that the Bittae is too soft. Yeah, Because I think it's from your finger. Oh, it could be, because it. From my finger. All right, that's true. Slightly melted. But actually the Bittae. Milk chocolate is slightly softer.

00:11:04 John Daub: I noticed that the chocolate on the Tim Tams does not melt as fast as the Bittae. The Bittae is actual milk chocolate. And this one, I guess, is milk chocolate. I'm not sure. This is dark. This is made with dark chocolate. So I guess it's a little bit different. The milk chocolate for Tim Tams. I don't know if it melts any differently, but I'm going to do a taste test as well.

00:11:34 John Daub: Going to be pretty honest. I'm going to be honest. All right. I don't need to close my eyes. I'm. I. I can just. No, no, no, you can close your eyes. What? All right. Okay, I'll play the game. Do it. Okay, I'll play the game. Do it. Do it. Yeah, they want to watch. All right, go ahead. All right, I'll close my eyes. Okay, good. Okay. Pretty good second one. It's same. Same.

00:12:04 John Daub: I like the first one. What? What? No, no, no. I was rooting. I was going for the Japan one. I serious. The first one was a Tim Tam. Yes. Yes. All right, that's interesting. Yeah. Tim Tam, I think. All right, this is. And this is my. This is my reaction here. The reason why the Tim Tam won for me was that because I just. It just retained the flavor longer. The problem with the Bittae.

00:12:35 John Daub: This is the Bittae one where. The Bittae one. The problem with this one is that it just. The chocolate melts too fast, and then you just have the cookie left. The thing with this is the chocolate melts a little bit slower. So then when you get to the cookie, you still got a little bit of the chocolate left, so it kind of mixes in better for this one. The milk chocolate melts so fast, unless it's been in the refrigerator, that it just cannot compare.

00:13:11 John Daub: It's not the same. Now. I don't. The comparison's over. I think you got to put these in the freezer to even have a chance to compete with it. However, with that said, I do think that these are healthier. It can even possible. It just seems like it's. It breaks down better. Maybe there's chemicals in. I don't know. I really don't know. There's not a lot of chemicals in the.

00:13:41 John Daub: Well, maybe there is. Hold on. I always checked. I always check the. It's pretty basic. Biscuits, sugar, wheat flour, vegetable oil. Contains soy milk, solids, emulsifers. That might be it. Salt flavor, baking soda color. It's actually pretty light. There's not a lot of stuff that I can't pronounce for this one. Is there a lot of chemicals in it? Yeah. Margarine. Oh, they use margarine.

00:14:12 John Daub: What? I don't like margarine. They're using vegetable oil here and milk, so solids, which. I don't know what that is, but they're using margarine. And for me, a margarine's like, no, thank you. Not there's anything wrong with it. Yeah, that's really interesting. Now, I guess the Japanese cookie, which is individually wrapped, loses to the Tim Tam, which is not. And the best thing about the Tim Tams is that you get 11, and with this one, for the same price, you get six.

00:14:50 John Daub: And it's just wrong. All right, we're gonna. We're gonna go now to the other flavor. Hold on a second. There's just so many here. There was no. Was there a vanilla one? Was there a white one for the Tim Tams? Okay, now we're going for this one. This is the white cookie challenge. All right, this goes to the next level. These go to 11. These go to 6. Now, we've already unboxed these.

00:15:21 John Daub: These Are kind of. These are kind of basic. Hold on a second. Are you having fun? Yeah. We lost. Yeah. I can't believe. I can't. I cannot believe that. That Japan lost in the. It's very similar. It's very similar, but I can't believe that Japan lost. I really. I was shocked. All right, here we go. Now you want to. Do you want to eat these or do we get rid of these here? All right, Tim.

00:15:52 John Daub: Damn white mouth. There you go, guys. This here. Whoa. You can see it is very beautiful. Now they didn't really get the. The chocolate on evenly. Have a feeling that the Japan one will be more better evenly chocolatified. 11. These go to 11. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Wait a second. Hold on a second. The other ones had 11, and these have nine. They gave a little bit more space.

00:16:23 John Daub: I guess it. White cookies are more expensive, so you get two less. But hey, that might not be a bad thing because the Bittae, these come with six. These are the same. The same price. I'm get the light like down here. The same price, but. All right. That's the Japanese. They. They put it. I like. I like the way that it opens. It makes me feel good. And the great thing is if you don't.

00:16:53 John Daub: If you don't want to eat them all, you can just eat one. I that. It to me, that works. I like it. A lot of people are gonna be like, oh, the packaging, there's so much plastic. But for me, I could put two or three of these in my bag and eat it later. You can't do that with Tim Tams is gonna melt in your bag. But it's just another step to get to the cookie. Let's say you're hungry.

00:17:24 John Daub: I don't want to go through all of this. Ah, shock. The Japanese cookies for the white ones also did not get chocolatified evenly. That's interesting. All right, this is. Oh, the color is different too. It's not as white. Check it out. I don't want to touch it because it gets all mushy. Look at the color on that. I'm with the light over on this side. Oh, it's almond based. So it's an almond based white chocolate.

00:17:57 John Daub: And this is a coffee Bittae. You can see the color is different than the white one from. From Tim Tams. You want to read the label on this one? Can you do that? Interesting. The size. There's a big size difference. That's not a knife. This is a knife. Look at this. That is. That Actually, that's a knife right there. But this is. This is pretty big. All right. The cut. The open.

00:18:28 John Daub: The cut, open test. Now the Bittae is already starting to melt all over the place. The Tim Tam is not melting at all in my hands. It's. It's very much like M&M's. It does not melt in your hands. Looks good. All right, here we go. This is almond. Almond. Wow. Almond white chocolate. First of all, the size is totally different. And the thickness. There was a difference between the thickness of the chocolate ones, but now I don't see as much here.

00:19:04 John Daub: The cookie for the Bittae is a little bit bigger, and there's less chocolate in the middle. I believe that. I don't know who's gonna win for this one. This is difficult, but the Japanese cookie and the Australian cookie. So you can see there's a size. Does size matter? Does size matter? It very well. It very well could be. Once again, this is a. The Tim Tam White versus the Bittae Ivory Chocolate.

00:19:35 John Daub: Ivory chocolate. Ivory chocolate. Which is this? All right, Can I. Are you. I don't know. We're gonna have to do it again. All right. Boom. All right, do it. All right, close your eyes. I'm gonna mix it up. Clear your mind. Clear your mind. Think of nothing. Think of nothing. Think of nothing. Think of cookies. Bite. Bite down. Now chew it. Chew, chew. Why? It's not fun. Don't cleave your eye clouds.

00:20:08 John Daub: Keep your eyes closed. All right, Chewing. Chewing. Okay, good. Next. Which one's it gonna be? Number one or number two? Number one or number two? The world is waiting. Number one. Number one was the Japanese one. So Bittae. Wow, that's, like, big news. Hold on a second. Hold the presses. Japan wins. With white cookies. Japan wins. What? You. We. Hey, you know, I don't know. I'm not.

00:20:38 John Daub: I'm not voting for any side. I'm just in it for the cookies. I'm. I'm so. You're kind of biased. You're on the Japan side. I'm on. I'm on the cookie side. All right, give it to me. I'm gonna move the light over here. Give it to me. All right. I'm a serious cookie monster. Okay. All right. Okay. Okay. All right, I'm ready.

00:21:09 John Daub: Okay, close your eyes. Sorry. Okay, Close your eyes. Don't watch me. Okay. Okay. I don't know. I didn't see. I wasn't looking down. I don't know. Okay, coming. Oh, that's good. Creamy. Oh, that's good. Okay. Okay, hit me, hit me. Okay. Number two. Yeah, that was good. Can I open my eyes? Sure. Which one? This is so easy. The first one. First one is Japanese Bittae. Japan. It's really, really good.

00:21:41 Kanae Daub: Yes, this is really, really good. You want emo? I'll take the Japan one. Yeah. And the reason why, with the white one, the creaminess of it is good. It's creamy, and you can. You can taste milky. It tastes like real milk. But it's that almond that's that nuttiness to it that really works. And this one tastes. This one's not bad. The. The are not. Are not so white one. The problem of it is that it doesn't taste any creamy.

00:22:15 John Daub: It doesn't taste the creaminess. So I. I don't. I just tastes too waxy. Like a candle. Candle, Right. Like a wax. It was too much for me. I like both. But it's interesting. Very interesting. It's curious, right? All right, now. Now, you know the Japanese Bittae by Glico. This is backwards. One second. The Japanese Bittae by Glico. Hold on. Glico. Now, you guys, this is the Glico man.

00:22:45 John Daub: You know Osaka, the guy who's running with all the neon lights at Dotonbori. This is this made by this company. Now, the problem with Bittae is that this. They only got two varieties. We got eight varieties from Vaughn in Australia. This is only. There's only two of them here. So what. What we have to do now is we have to open more. And. And. And the Japanese one can't even compete.

00:23:16 John Daub: There's nothing else that we. This is as far as you go, Japan. So, Jill, me chill me. All right. We don't have time. She's. She's needs it. She needs to go to bed because she's waking up much, much earlier than me. Which one do you want to try? Hold on a second. I'm not asking you. I'm asking the people. She's going. I want to try. I don't think so. No, don't. Don't try to persuade the people.

00:23:48 John Daub: The people will decide. Which one of these do we take priority? And. And once again, like, we are done with the Japanese ones. Yeah. What do we have here? We have choco mint. Hold on a second. Wait for the lineup. Honeycomb. These have been chilled for her pleasure. Creamy caramel iced coffee. Looks good. Ice cream flavored. And double coat. Oh, they were losing them. Double coat.

00:24:19 John Daub: And this is one called Turkish Delight. So everybody from. From Turkey will be maybe kind of happy. To see that. What do you think here? We get a lot of caramels in here. You guys got 10 seconds. Chill me, chill me. Mint chocolate is right now it's in the run. Oh, but it's a creamy caramel. Creamy caramel is doing pretty good too. Creamy caramel, double coat. Oh, we got one for double coat from Mary.

00:24:51 John Daub: Caramel. Caramel. Oh, wait, we got the one for the honeycomb caramel. We got honeycomb. Honeycomb, double coat. We get double coat. Okay, Caramel. Five, four, three, two, one. I'm believing that the caramel won. There's just something about caramel which is just butter, and caramel is just butter and milk, guys. It's buttermilk and sugar. Something like that, right? Isn't it?

00:25:21 John Daub: That's what it is. Yorkshire tea. We don't have bacon. Do they even have bacon? Tim Tams. That'd be pretty good. Julia says Kanai's choice. Kanai, which one did you want to eat first of all? This one. The honeycomb. All right. Maybe another day. All right, so let's try the green. Okay. Okay. All right. You know what? All right, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

00:25:53 John Daub: This is not for science. While I prepare. Come up here. Up. No, up. As I prepare the hunt. As I prepare the creamy caramel. Go ahead and try the. You wanted the honeycomb, right? Go ahead and try the honeycomb. While I prepare. While I prepare the other one and let the people know how it is. Go ahead. I win. I prepared the. Here's the caramel. This looks good. Oh, wow. They look the same color.

00:26:25 John Daub: I put the. Put it up together here. Yeah. Wow. These look really similar. I bet you. Wait, Wait a minute. All right, people, people, people. I gotta. I have a wonderful idea. It's. It's K A N A E, by the way. Not K A N A I. Kanai. Not kanai. Kanai. Eh? Not kana E. Kanai. It's Kanai. Yeah. You had difficulties in the. All right, what I'm gonna do. Kanai. I have to remember which one it is. Okay, I've got.

00:26:56 John Daub: We've got two chilled chill me's. I don't think you guys can even figure out which one is which. Do you know which one's? Which. Which one is honeycomb and which one is caramel? Do you. Do you even know which one it is? Which one's caramel and which one is. Do you know which one it is? Chill me. Chill me. Yeah, they're both chill me. Oh, this is the chill me. And this is The Tim Tams.

00:27:27 John Daub: Yeah. Well, I did. I did open it, so close your eyes. Okay, I do. You don't play the game. I. Close your eyes. Hold on a second. All right, one more. Okay, One more. All right. Okay. Now, the colors look the same. She's gonna have to figure out which one it is and say which one is better. This is a game I like to. If Tim Tam executives of Tim Tam. Listen, we want to do a Tim Tam slam, but I don't even know how to do it.

00:28:01 John Daub: You guys got to teach me how to do that. I don't know. But what I can do is we're going to see which one is better. You got the chill me, the chill me honeycomb, and then we have the caramel. They're actually almost the same temperature because I kind of put them all in the refrigerator. All right, I'm just going to give it to you now, and you tell me which one is which. Okay?

00:28:32 Kanae Daub: Okay. But don't tell me right away. This is cookie number one, everybody. Cookie number one. Just. You just. You take it and eat as much as you want. You can give it to me when you're finished or you just eat it all. Don't tell me what it is. They all look the same color. This. This pale brown that looks like caramel, but it's really good. All right, give me this. Okay. All right.

00:29:02 John Daub: There you go. All right. Well done. All right, now there's this one which looks the same. Which. But which one is that? I wash my hands. Don't worry. Jason has an idea. Jason. Brad. Could be we can communicate Tim Tam style. Mm. Mm. I know. I know. Oh, now I know by looking at it. All right. Which one was caramel one or two? First one was. So the first. So first one was honeycomb.

00:29:33 Kanae Daub: Yeah, that's correct. And the second one was Tim Tam chamomile. That's right. Despite the look. Despite. Despite that, they look exactly the same. TIM TAM, PRESIDENT of Tim TAM. We in Japan can differentiate between the tastes. Which one is this? The caramel. So which one was better, honeycomb or caramel? Chamomile. I like chamomile. Hold on a second. This is pretty nice. It's caramel.

00:30:04 John Daub: Come out. Very nice. Yeah, caramel's very nice. Caramel inside. Yeah, that's what it's called. Caramel. Why are you so surprised? Caramel inside. I would hope so. No, I thought this is a nice idea. It's a nice idea. Yeah. Yeah. We should get to Camel. President of Camel Bite. Hire this woman, and she will tell you the flavors that you need, because I. I don't think any Japanese person has eaten all of the chill mes that are available at the supermarket.

00:30:41 John Daub: So I'm telling you, Glico man is that the person in charge, Grico man is the president of Grico Man. All right, we're just gonna try. We're just gonna try them all. I cannot disappoint Vaughn. Vaughn. Vaughn, who also not just sent us this, but sent us a super chat. She's. She's so nice. I. You know. Okay, this is chocolate. Oh, wow. Mint. Mint. Mint. Mint. I like this. You don't like mint.

00:31:12 Kanae Daub: She don't. She does not like mint. I love. I love mint. All right, which one do you want to try? That's good. That's good. I used to eat a lot of Breyers. If you're from Philadelphia area, you know, Breyer's ice cream. I used to eat a ton of Breyer's mint ice cream. And my dad may or may not have put just a slight touch of creme de mint on it, which gave this a little tinge to it.

00:31:43 John Daub: It's pretty good. Pretty good. All right, one more kanai. Which one do you want? That one looks like Turkish delight. Turkish delete. Not Turkish. Turkish delight. Yeah. No, it doesn't taste like toothpaste, but if I was gonna brush my teeth with it, I would not complain. It could be like. It's just minty enough. It's really good. And I love the way the chocolate does not melt too much onto your.

00:32:15 John Daub: Under your fingers. But if I do compare the Japanese one to this, there is something good about the creaminess, the milkiness of the. Of the Japanese one. All right, go ahead and open up the Turkish delight Kanai. Y. Yeah. Nice car. I'm getting a sugar high. Sugar high. Oh, we lost the light. Hey, Nim. No, no muramai. Thank you very much. No muramai. No. Oh, we lost the light.

00:32:45 John Daub: Oh, we lost the light. Can you turn the other. Oh, we got them both on. It's okay. It's okay. Yeah, John Pobbs is right there. All right, so where is your Turkish delight? Oh, my word. You can smell it. Is this what Turkey smells like? I have. I have a lot of friends in Turkey. They don't smell like this. I've never had. Have you ever had Turkish delight before? Really? Whoa.

00:33:16 Kanae Daub: Turkish delight's so good. Yes. We're gonna have to go to Turkey now and get some Turkish delight. All right, go ahead. Go ahead and try it. You don't have to just smell it. I was just like, all right. They're all kind of the same color. All right. Saran says that. Saran says that he can't smell it, so he can't judge. That's funny. Is. Is that. How would you rank it? Ranking Caramel.

00:33:47 John Daub: Caramel. The white bite. The caramel Tim Tam beats the white Bittae. Show us the inside of the. Yeah, right there. That's good. Just hold it steady. Oh, wow. Hold on a second. Don't move it. Oh, look at this pink. I like this flavor. This is number three. Oh, the Turkish delights. Number three. Interesting, interesting. So the Japanese market, the Chilmies, I think, are quite popular.

00:34:18 John Daub: That's interesting. I didn't know that. All right. We don't have any coffee, though. We can't do a tim slit. Tim tam slam. We don't have any. Any coffee brewed. And it's like 11:30 at night. Fruity. Okay. All right, I'll go for it. Do you have any milk? Yeah, can you get a glass of milk, please? Milk? Yeah. No milk. Oh, wow. There's a piece of fruit in there. There's a piece of fruit in there.

00:34:49 John Daub: That's pretty good too. Setting up for this. I knocked the door down, got in trouble. So we're waiting for her to get fruits. I was also sent this bear who pulled his pants down. We had. Kanai had. Had friends over with kids, and they were taking off his pants. I'm just saying. So he's doing. He's doing. Okay, have a seat. I'll put it in glass and glass. Glass. And it should be Zenbu Miracude.

00:35:21 John Daub: All right, I have no. Can somebody tell me how to do this thing? I've never done this before. I don't know what I'm doing. I've just sort of heard about this on the Internet. We call it Turkish delight. Oh, Manhar Turkle in Portuguese, bite. The Armenillo one is doing it in. In. In two word phrases. They say hot milk. I don't. We don't have hot milk. All right. This is cold milk.

00:35:52 John Daub: Can you put more milk to the top, please? Yeah, to the top. It's not enough. She's just giving me, like, a little bit of milk. I need, like, a lot of milk. We use the Tim Tam like a straw. Ah, okay, wait a second. Frost angel actually wrote something useful. Top left corner and bottom right corner. And then you use it like a straw. That's good. In Japan. We don't have time to warm it up.

00:36:23 John Daub: Which one works best with The Tim Tam slam, not the caramel. We're just going to go with the plain dark chocolate. All right? And then after I do that, I'm going to do a Tim Tam slam with a non Tim Tam cookie. All right? It works. Plain works best. All right. This is. This is kind of plain. It's dark chocolate. I. We don't have. Actually. Vaughn didn't send us a plane. One, two.

00:36:54 John Daub: There's no plain ones. Original or dark? Okay, this is dark. All right, here we go. So bite off. Bite off the ends. I think you go vertically. No, this is not sponsored by Tim Tam. So we're not gonna do just Tim Tam. We're gonna. We're gonna slam another one. Okay. And then you put it in here like this, and then you drink it like a straw. Really? Yeah. Why? Yeah, why really?

00:37:24 John Daub: Of course. It's not working. It's working. It's really good. It's good. Yeah. Milk went into the cookie, and then it got all soggy inside. Whoa. Where's the. The Japanese Bite? Right there. All right, Tim Tam president, Which one you want? What? Tim Tam president. You thought that you could do the only you. I thought Tim Tam. You know what? You thought you were the only cookie that could do a slam.

00:37:56 John Daub: Guess what, Tim Tam, you ain't the only one anymore. There's a Bittae in the house, all right? And the thing with the Bittae is that each one has its own characteristic, because you don't know what's in this bag until you open it. You unlock the goodness. Check that out. Glicoman in every bite. Whoa. Actually, Japan also. Also keys it up, so it's really easy to open it. All right, we're gonna Tim Tam slam a Bittae.

00:38:30 John Daub: We call this a Bittae slam or just a Bittae. Bittae slam. Bite milk slam. All right. Can you slam a non Tim Tam? This is ridiculous. Do it. Do it. Everybody else do it. Do it. I just slammed a non Tim Tam. I just slammed the non Tim Tam. Whoa. How was it? Yeah. Sponsored by Nike. It was good. Good, Tim. Tim. I thought that. Actually. Actually. All right, hold on. Put this in the center.

00:39:00 John Daub: The Bittae was a better slam. And you know why? I can hear the Tim Tam in your stomach. Something's growling. The Tim Tam. The Bittae was a better slime because it was creamier. It was creamier. And I don't know, the chocolate melt, because the coldness. Maybe. Maybe I was using cold milk. It's not the same, but if you use warm milk, maybe it's different. Warm coffee. But with the cold milk, the fact that the Bittae was already kind of easily melted, it worked better with the chocolate.

00:39:39 John Daub: Therefore, the milk and the chocolate kind of mixed up a little bit better because I think it's a milk chocolate. The dark one was not milk chocolate, so it did not liquidify. It's a word. Triton. Scrabble. No one's gonna argue with that. But you want to try? Slam. No. No. You. What? All right, so bite off this corner and then bite up this corner and then suck it. You have to do it now.

00:40:11 Kanae Daub: There's people watching. Oh, go ahead. First, bite it. Bite the corner. All right, now you put it in and you drink. Drink it like a straw. Hold on a second. Hold on a second. Hold on a second. Do it right. Gotta do it right, people. All right, do it. Do it. Do it, do it. Slam it. What? What? What did you do? Did you lose the. Oh, she's lost the cook egg. You're not supposed to dunk it.

00:40:42 John Daub: Now it's over. That's not a slam. That's a. That's his airball. That's a Tim Tam airball. Sorry. I messed up. Oh, my. Wait. Do you have to start over? I gotta ask Vaughn. Vaughn is the judge. Vaughn. Vaughn, if you're watching, does she have to start over? What? I don't know the rules. It's a Tim Tam air ball. Can you eat the air ball? She's eating the air ball. She doesn't even care.

00:41:13 Kanae Daub: Is good. Is it cut? It came right. It was coming. The milk. Milk. You strawed it. Didn't. Vaughn says you have to start Ivor. Okay, hold on a second. Start again. But, yeah, because you. You put it. Put it. Put it here. Don't apologize to me. Apologize. You don't have to apologize. Apologize to Tim Tam. Yeah. All right. Bite the corner. That's right.

00:41:43 John Daub: You gotta start over. Do it over. Do it. Mark. I figured that out a little too late. All right, now, milk. Now straw. That thing. I made it. I made a noun, a verb. It's been. Yes. Draw it and slam it. Don't. No more air ball. Don't drop it. Now suck the milk through the cookie. You can do it. I believe in you. I believe I can fly. You can fly. You can touch the sky in the night and day Kind of leading far away.

00:42:17 John Daub: Did you do it? You did it. I believe you can fly. I did it. You slammed it. I know. Eat the cookie. I believe I can fly. I believe I can fly. You slammed the cookie. How was the cookie? Good. So you like this? You like this slam? But I think you'd like it better if it was a Japanese national cookie, like Bittae, which is kind of a German name, isn't it? Bite. Bitishin. This is nice.

00:42:47 Kanae Daub: Really? You want to slam this? This is your net. This is your country. I'm. I'm bipartisan. I believe I can fly. I don't know the words to this song, but the melody can't go wrong. Just be really careful. Cause it melts in your hands. Everyone is gonna cringe on watching this. That's okay. Cause I'm singing. All right, don't eat too much. I believe I can slam. All right, who's gonna win the gold medal?

00:43:20 John Daub: Do it. All right. Be careful not hold it. No Air ball. You are totally drinking it. I can hear you gulping. No. Was it? Well, no. What? Why are you arguing like. Yeah, yeah. Oh, you have to. You have to. All right, concentrate. Gold medal. Nothing. You can't slam it. I slammed it. Shh. Everyone quiet. Just let her do it. No, you can't do it. No, I can't do it. Are there holes in it?

00:43:51 Kanae Daub: Did you bite it wrong? Just let her do it naturally. Let's see. You didn't slam. You couldn't. It was unslammable. Maybe because it melted too much. It was unslammable. So it's got a 50. 50. So the Tim Tams have a 100% slam rate. And the Bittae. They have a 50% slam rate for some reason. They're porous. But the milk is inside, so it's use. Half slammed it. That's it. That's something.

00:44:22 John Daub: That's. That's one point. You don't get two. You one point with the half slam. Because I have to give her some kind of point. Because you can't eat it. Not get points. If you eat something, you do get points. You gotta wash your hands. I gotta wash the gimbal. This is all chocolatey. The whole scream is chocolatey. I try not to touch the lens. It's a half fail, but it's a half success.

00:44:53 John Daub: You have to look. I mean, come on, guys. Is the glass half empty or half full? It's half full. It just depends how you look at it. From any direction. It just depends how you look at it. So the moral of the story is. And the total breakdown. I. I just want to say, for me, Tim Tam is the master. Because they're like. Though they're like the originators of the Tim Tam because they're the.

00:45:24 John Daub: They're Tim Tam and then Japan has done a pretty good job of trying to Tim Tam ify their Tim Tam like look alike called a Bittae. I'm. I'm quite happy. If you put this in the freezer, I think you're gonna have a pretty good battle then. These are not frozen and we're not, we're not making one hour episode to try to freeze. But what I will say is this is this to me, this is.

00:45:54 John Daub: This is top three. Bittae has something. They were nowhere five years ago. Now there's somewhere. Actually that's not true. Bittae used to have packaging just like the Tim Tam and they changed it up and did it like this. Right. I don't know if you remember this. The Bittae used to just sell less and I used to binge eat the Bittae because we didn't have Tim Tam. But they've made them individually wrapped.

00:46:26 John Daub: And I gotta tell you something, this white Bittae is much better than the dark one. Tim Tam is the master and it wins hands down. The caramel one is really good. The, the dark chocolate was really good. The Turkish delight really good. They're all really good. But just in the middle is this and nowhere. And I guess in last place for me was this. This one was not as good. The milk chocolate was not as good, but it's not bad.

00:47:00 John Daub: But Tim Tam thumbs up and two thumbs up to Vaughn. Thank you for sending this. Please do not send us any cookies, anyone, for a very long time because there's just way too many on the table. I'm gonna have to share this with other people and I might bring these to some meetups. So in October I might do a meetup. If you're coming in Tokyo, check Facebook for meetup. I'm also doing Twitter now, so check Twitter.

00:47:33 John Daub: Check Instagram as well. You know I'm on all the formats but if you, if you want to eat some of these Tim Tams with me and do 10 and show me how to do Tim Tam slam, come to the meetup. We're going to try to do one in October for a little bit. That's gonna be a lot of fun. Thank you, Kanai for. For slamming. Trying to slam your national cookie is what is Japan's number one cookie?

00:48:04 Kanae Daub: Number one cookie? Is there a number one famous cookie? I don't know. And is, is, is the Tim Tam. Would that be Japan or Australia's national cookie? Must be America's national cookies. Just the chocolate toll house chocolate chip cookie. I would say the toll house Chocolate chip cookie would be the national cookie of America. Grandma used to make. Everyone made Toll House cookies.

00:48:34 John Daub: You know, Toll House is the name of the chocolate Australian cookie. I guess it's the. The thank you for sponsoring this. Vaughn's getting some. Vaughn's getting some thank yous in here. That's really nice. I really do appreciate it. Vaughn. A shout out to Purple Bandit 79. Currently getting dressed and heading out for Tim Tam. We get somebody going over Purple Bandits going out For Tim Tams 9am in New York City.

00:49:08 John Daub: I'm surprised. So they got New York. They got Tim Tams in New York City. So thank you for that. Well, we thank you so much for the super chats, guys. I appreciate it. I told Kanai everything that comes in with the super chat tonight. I'm taking her out to either a hotel like breakfast or something. You like hotel breakfasts, right? Yeah. And did I miss any of them? Jose Delgado writes in Me and My Wife.

00:49:40 John Daub: Love your videos, John. I hope it grows more and more. I hope it grows too. I, you know, I'm in it. I'm in it to win it. This channel is gonna pass a hundred thousand maybe by October. And the main channel will pass a passion, a million, I think, this year. So I appreciate that. That comes down to all of you guys supporting the show. That's about it. I really don't have anything else to talk about.

00:50:13 John Daub: We have a ton of Tim Tams on the table. I'll show you right here. I'm not joking. Are you getting hungry again? We have. This is caramel and this is honeycomb. This is white. Look, we got so many Tim. We went crazy. This is Tim Cream crazy. We're gonna put this away and eat these for the next. For the rest of. For the rest of the year, we'll be eating Tim Tams thanks to Vaughn.

00:50:43 Kanae Daub: Yeah, that's really crazy. And then maybe we'll see some more. More uncooked. Actually, can you get the Singapore stuff? I want to say thank you to everybody from Singapore. This is. I really can't say thank you enough. I did put an Instagram post on this, but I don't think I'm gonna be doing any more live streams. We have a whole bag full of stuff and we ate some of it, right?

00:51:13 John Daub: Yeah. You can sit here. We already kind of already ate a lot. We've been snacking on these. I'm not gonna be doing any more live streams with food for a while like this, but I just thought it was really nice that we got a chance. Hey, Vaughn, make Peter eat it. Now Peter's. Peter's gonna be focusing on his channel for a little bit. Okay? So I will give it. Actually, I took these.

00:51:44 John Daub: Vaughn a second. Since I got Vaughn here, I get talked to Vaughn directly. Vaughn. I actually took some of this to Peter's house, and we ate it at his birthday. We took. We didn't eat the Tim. The Tim Tams, but Peter eats Tim Tams all the time. Actually, he's got them in his house. We have Tim Tams in Japan. We have Tim's in Japan. But I'm gonna. I'm gonna save one of these boxes, the double coat.

00:52:16 John Daub: And I think there's one more I didn't open. I'm gonna give it to Peter so he can. Next time I see him. But Peter. Peter's gonna be focusing on his channel. So this is the. From Singapore. This is the salted. What is this one? Salted potato chips. No, that's not just potato chips. That's something. Oh, that's it. That is potato chips. It's urban salted eggs. And they had something called fish skins.

00:52:48 John Daub: Oh. 46 gamer cube says eat them before they expire. Hold on a second. When's the expiration date? Oh, that's. Thank you for that. Oh, we got lots of time. It's. It's. It's good till next year, so we're gonna eat this at some other time. Maybe we'll do it in a live stream. I'm not sure. But we had. We had so much stuff in this bag. We have to eat them before the expiration date.

00:53:19 Kanae Daub: Yeah. These are the cookies from Panda Cookie. Yeah, we got these before from Singapore. These are really good. We're kind of saving stuff, but I think you guys are right. We better eat these before they expire. All right, what else we got in there? Just. Just a quick shout out to everybody who gave us some of this stuff. I got these from YouTube at the YouTube Creator Summit and got these in Korea.

00:53:51 John Daub: These are really good glutinous rice. One of these fills you up for two days. Seriously, what else you got there? Oh, yeah, that was good. We haven't opened it yet, but I love this can. You can put. You can put it on. Oh, these. These cookies look good. I believe these are good for a long time as well. Not all of them have expiration dates on it. That's. But I think we can eat this for a while.

00:54:23 John Daub: What do you got there? Oh, yeah, there's another one. Oh, sorry. Kind of lost them. And these snacks. We're Gonna eat these tomorrow. This is the national. Like, one of the traditional Singapore snacks as well. I'm not sure what it's called, but we did snack a little bit of it, and they're really good. And. Yeah, white rabbit. I don't know, a creamy candy. It's from Singapore.

00:54:53 John Daub: And. Okay. I think this is durian jam. And Kanai was hesitant to open it up, but maybe we'll try it for breakfast tomorrow. Yeah, and we actually ate a lot of them already. Oh, this is from YouTube. I took. I kind of took a lot of stuff at the YouTube convention. This is from. This for me. He doesn't eat that yet. Yeah, so I got a lot of. We got. I. We got too much food. Keith.

00:55:24 John Daub: If Keith. If Keith is watching. Oh, sorry. If Keith is watching. We haven't used the pressure cooker yet. We got to use the pressure cooker. One of the. One of the patrons gave us a pressure cooker for a wedding gift. So we have. We haven't used that yet. So we just. We just haven't had time to do that. So. Yeah, we got it. We have to. The. The American plugs have three prongs on it for things that are.

00:55:57 John Daub: And this one has. This one has. Japan only has two. So we have to cut the middle prong off of the thing or get a converter. And I think we're gonna get a converter. That's about it. And we have a ton of coffee. And we got a lot of stuff from Germany, from Samantha and from Brita and Haitho. And hey, we got a ton of stuff that I still haven't shown you. But I want to thank everybody for sending us this stuff.

00:56:30 John Daub: We don't need any more food. Normal food. You want more food? I love food. Oh, you like the food presence. But I don't know what we can do. I don't. I can't do unboxing of foods and eat them. I'm actually trying to stay in shape. And, you know, I don't eat a lot of junk food. Although how could you call Tim Tams junk? I don't think that's even possible. But I do want to thank everybody for sending this stuff and for Vaughn for sending this.

00:57:05 John Daub: We also have a lot of other chocolates that came from Australia and. Yeah, just. Guys, thank you so much. I gave my address to people on Patreon that were supporting. Supporting me there. Patreon.com OnlyInJapan and the support there. We just passed 500 supporters on Patreon, which is like was my goal for this year, which is like, woo. And the next level after that is, I don't know, we just keep, keep building on the Patreon site.

00:57:40 John Daub: And it's just a lot of fun to do the live streams and get to know people on the Patreon platform. Because I cannot keep up with all the emails on all the social media. I don't think any YouTuber actually responds to every single email. But I really do try to read everything and try to reply to as many people. And if I didn't reply to you yet, just keep, keep ask. You know, if you do send me a message on Instagram, don't go, can I ask you a question?

00:58:16 John Daub: I'm not gonna respond to that. Like, yes. I'm not gonna start a conversation with everybody. Just write your question and then I'll answer it or not answer it. I guess that kind of works like that. Hello? I'm not gonna say hello and start a chat conversation. There's. There's a lot of people who left a comment there, so I just can't. I can't keep up. So if you want to ask me question, just ask the question.

00:58:49 John Daub: And I really try hard to answer everybody's question. I don't use Facebook that much. I do use Instagram and Patreon a lot. Patreon a lot more. I respond within a day on Patreon. Cool. Thank you, everybody. Thank you for watching. We're gonna put these Tim Tams away, but have a good night, a good day, wherever you are. Guys, Kanai is gonna say good night. You're gonna take a shower?
