Have just added a search facility to Unique Sentence. Oddly, the first thing I noticed when testing it was that two separate people have submitted sentences with the word "penguin" in them. And I've only got 34 sentences in total. That seems like a very high rate of penguins to me.

The story I've heard is that an Australian company decided they wanted a product similar to our Penguin biscuit and so the Tim Tam was born. And many would argue that it's even better than the biscuit that inspired it. Having tried several, I'd be inclined to agree.

And there's a tradition of using Tim Tams as straws for hot drinks - bite of one small corner and then the corner diagonally opposite - as one sucks the drinks through the biscuit it goes all hot chocolatey. Works best with tea, I find.

I assumed, when I read it, that the person who made that penguin/ coffee quote was simply trying the same thing using coffee instead of tea and a Penguin instead of a Tim Tam!
