Ah McArnott’s, you’ve done it again.
Without further ado, I present the 100% correct, objective, inarguable list of Arnott’s biscuits, ranked so far:
Alternatively, you can see the most recent reviews here:
The Tina Wafer - strange name for a biscuit, isn’t it? - disappoint me a little.
You know those biscuits that came in the old tins that your nan would eventually use for storing sewing needles?
The little-known sibling of the Scotch Finger rock-star. How does it stack up?
News to me that Arnott’s has a ‘farmbake’ sub-brand – this review series will truly never run out of content.
Fun fact: Krispy Kreme doesn’t even sell the Lemon Glaze donuts in Australia, and yet they have a biscuit imitation of it on supermarket shelves.
If you had these in your school lunchbox, you’re a certified Legend™.
Ah, the venerable Tim-Tam. On some level, I’m astounded I’ve made it this far without reaching for this yet.
I have wandered the desert for a long time, from Tee Vee Snack to citrus abomination; it is time to come home.
We will close the Krispy Kreme saga not with a bang, but with a whimper.
The penultimate review in the Krispy Kreme collaboration is not the ultimate in ranking.
Being really really old does not mean it is good; take Rupert Murdoch, for example.
Being a rough-looking biscuit gives the Venetian the look of a made-with-love homemade snack.
This is the weirdest flavour mash-up I’ve seen so far, and even more shocking, I actually like them.
Moving swiftly on from the offensive Strawberry flavour to this subtle choice.
I feel like I can sum this review up with a single, well-known image:
News to me that there was ever a Dark Chocolate verison of these - stay tuned for that one if I can ever find them, I guess.
I cannot resist scraping the cream off each biscuit in a bizarre deconstruction compulsion.
The fact they market this range as ‘Arnott’s x Kirspy Kreme’ like it’s a hypebeast shoe drop is hilarious.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say this is the best bickie in the Family Assorted pack.
I was a bit harsh on the Lamington Iced Vovo, but Arnott’s is insistent on trying to make this combination strategy work.
Did you ever make those little lolly-face biscuits with Maries in primary school?
If you asked me for the most iconic Australian recipies, along with pavlova and vegemite, the lamington would definitely make the cut.
Arnott’s claims this is possibly their most iconic biscuit. Not to be the Provocative Opinion Person, but I do have to disagree (surely it’s the Tim Tams.)
Every time I pick these up, I’m always thrown off by the length of the packaging. It’s hard to convey it exactly, but the dimensions just feel... off.
