    so i tried Caramel Wafers, and Rocky

    Caramel Wafer - pretty good, but a bit too soggy.

    Rocky - amazing, really nice :D and the tea sucked up really quickly, i should try the caramel ones next.

    I am pleased to see that this thread is under "Serious Discussion", where it belongs. But real men would have tried coffee, not tea.

    I have no idea what Tim Tams are, but seeing as you recommend them, they must be awesome :)

    We've been doing this for years in Australia, took you lot a while to cotton on. :p

    If you want chocolate overload then try it with Milo instead of tea or coffee, if you can't get Milo try any drinking chocolate.

    There are these chocolate wafer things I had a while back. Basically a wafer in a straw shape with chocolate in the middle. Tried with hot chocolate, some work as the chocolate does not take up the entire centre and most have a clear passage through it. Takes about 5-6 to drink the lot depending on the temperature of the beverage and speed at which you drink.

    Toffee Crisp, terrible, no tea throughput.

    I want to to know, you all disgust me.

    I'm allergic to chocolate. Hives, itching in uncomfortable areas, stomach distress-you guys are making me consider doing it to myself just to find out...

    White flakes, you know the ones with the milk chocolate cover and the white insides?

    They are absolutely awful. I mean really awful. The tea tastes like soggy dog smells, and the chocolate tastes like sweaty socks.

    There is also a fair amount of collapsing from the submerged end. I would strongly advise against it.

    If this isn't the basis of a doctorate I will be sorely disappointed. :D

    I would like to suggest the Sports bar (though I'm unsure if you get it over there). It's a chocolate/biscuit combo, and should have quite excellent suckage potential due to very airy biscuits inside and delicious milk chocolate around. Furthermore they are of excellent length and girth for this particular application, and I would assume that biting the ends off might not be neccessary as the layer of chocolate on either end is very thin and melts easily. In addition I'm thinking you could get quite a decent sucking-time out of them because even if the outer layer of chocolate melts, the internal biscuits are also covered with individual layers of chocolate which obviously will also melt, but taking longer total time to do so.

    I'm expecting a front page article which in detail describes and explores this experiment and empirically defends your conclusions.
