ALDI equivalent haven’t reduced their size yet,how small can they go in size ,I don’t like giving my money to Germany and America ,some one in Australia needs to buy back, and Government should not allow our Ausie brands to be sold to overseas companies Show details
Ripped off with Arnotts Cruskits – Like many before me here it is disgraceful how bad Arnotts Cruskits have become. This week one was so thin it had holes in it and that was the end of Arnotts for me. I have not purchased their sweet biscuits for a long time for the same shrinkflation! To me if companies were proud of a product they would not worry about increasing the price. To increase price and decrease the product is beyong belief. Show details
How rude!! – I picked up the much lighter Box last night and thought how rude it is, that you are stealing from us again, unbelievable, you can tell just by picking up the box, lighter, smaller by a long way. Did you think we wouldn't notice!! You charge us more for less!! Incredibly rude!! Show details

I purchased a packet of crickets from Woolworth millers junction (Altona) To my disgust as I undid the pkt a 2in dark nail? Fell out Show details
Deceitful Arnott’s Cruskits – As per multiple posts, very deceitful by Arnott to shrink the crackers and to increase the price. Will never buy again Arnott products Show details
Honey I shrunk the Cruskits! – You keep doing it Arnotts - ruining an iconic Australian company. Whose idea was it to shrink the Cruskits like your other products? Must have been a big laugh in the boardroom. I, like others on PRODUCTREVIEW, (and I suppose many others who don't submit reviews) will not buy your products again. Show details
Fool Me Once - Shame on You – Bad Form Arnotts Cruskits original have again reduced in size. I hope to get hold of old packaging to compare information. Your mistake in thinking we will accept without questioning your deception Show details
Overseas owned companies ripping off aussies again – So sick of these so called Australian companies owned by overseas companies ripping off Australians well just another company I brought for to many years to mention now goes on my blacklist ,,disgusting,,, Show details

Corn crush kits being discontinued – Why did Arnott discontinue the corn cruskits? These were the only type I could eat due to being dairy intolerant and these were the only free ones available. Thank you Lesley
Decent – Unlike others here I don't see a problem sure the product may have shrunk but so has every other brand/product I like the taste and you can add just about anything to it, I do think it could be a little cheaper though. Show details
The original ones – With the clarified butter are delicious on their own without anything, but I did note they caused me constipation and intestine pain, so actually 4 stars because flavour is great but for some odd reason my intestines don’t like them in the long term as in 4 biscuits later, even if it’s only 1-2 per day.
Negative reviews
A total con… – Do Arnott think we’re all stupid- or more likely they just don’t care- who was the bright spark who thought halving the width of cruskits for the same (or increasing) cost would be ok -wld go unnoticed- I’ve just bought my last packet- shame really as I quite like the product but won’t be treated like a fool… Show details

What’s with the size & taste of Cruskits – I remember the tomato being dwarfed by the Cruskit. Now it’s totally opposite, the tomato’s dwarfing the Cruskit. Yep & it’s even a cherry tomato. Seriously!! Arnott’s you thought you would’ve learnt from the Savoury Shapes stuff up. Show details
Smaller, taste worse, cost the same – They have got smaller and taste ‘different’. A complete con. Looking for something else now. A shame because they used to be a favourite. Kids won’t eat them now. Yuk. Show details

Mini Cruskits - SHAME! – Had couple months break from cruskits - found the large sakatas in box and was quite happy. Then bought cruskits and shocked when put them in the box previously used - there’s masses of free area, they’re soooo much smaller and yet the price seems to be the same! Absolute disgusting. I’m headed back to the boxed large sakatas which so far have only found in Coles. Show details
Arnott's What Have You Done!!! – I eat corn cruskits daily and today 25/09/21, the cruskits were thinner in width, dense, hard and tasteless even though the best before date was 23/01/22. Will be looking for an alternative, so disappointed. Why did you change an excellent product? Show details
Why did you stop making rice cruskits – Being gluten intolerent I bought rice cruskits. There are now thousands of consumers who require gluten free products. It seems to me very short sighted of you in removing rice cruskits from your products. Please re-introduce this product to fill a gap in the market place.
What on earth have Arnotts done to their corn cruskits? I don't eat bread, so rely on Cruskits everyday – Cruskits should be light and airy, these Cruskits have been condensed and now are as thick and tasteless as cardboard I hope there will be a response from Arnotts to rectify this problem Show details
Corn cruskit fail – They have changed the recipe. Even the colour is not the same. It doesn't taste nice any more. I used to microwave for 30 seconds and they were delicious. Why mess with something good. The corn ones were the only good ones left. Arghhhhh. Show details
They are no longer what was great as a crunchy snsck – They are smaller, not crunchy and losing taste that was so good before, not inclined to buy now. So flat and taste like cardboard. Let's get back to original wafer. Show details
What the....?! They used to be bigger than this. Yesterday – I don't know whether NZ was using up vast warehousesful of Arnott's Cruskits and has only just started distributing the new, skinny versions, but I was so convinced that the Corn Cruskits I've just opened were smaller than the ones in the packet I finished yesterday that I googled "Arnott's Cruskits smaller", and found this site. The box is the… Read more
same size, but now the Cruskits are rattling around in it and they are definitely not as wide. Rubbish. As so many others have commented, why not just put the price up by a few cents? I won't be buying them any more, which is a great shame.

Crap move Arnotts ! – I have bought these for many many years but won't be buying Cruskits any more.....waay smaller size that barely fits any topping on and a different texture to the biscuit that is Yuk ! Show details
crappy cruskits – As so many people have already pointed out, they ARE waaaay smaller. I now transfer the whole packet to the same plastic container that previously couldn't quite fit them all. They also seem to have a less substance, a coarser texture, and have lost what made them unique.. Dear Arnotts, I know you need to make a profit, but don't do it by… Read more
deception. People don't like the wool being pulled over their eyes, and will move away from Cruskits on principle, as I already have. A shame, because I used to LOVE Cruskits.
Arnott's lost another customer today – The size has reduced considerably!!! VERY poor form Arnott's. Will no longer buy out of principle. There are plenty of other alternatives. Show details
I am so sick of feeling like I’m being ripped off.....this is just another example – So sad, I used to enjoy these with my family. I bought them again today (remembering good old times) and was shocked.... so much smaller and taste like ... dry ... so dry and flaky in a bad way. Just like so many other commercial items; companies are reducing sizes / portions. my local Chinese takeaway now doesn’t even fill each plastic tub (half… Read more
full!), my local pub has reduced the size of its wine glasses (but same cheap wine!). (Before Covid). And I am not even a big portion person, I’m a size 8. Just seems every time I order food or buy items from supermarkets or restaurants the sizes keep shrinking and I’m left feeling like everyone is trying to take money off me. Feeling very disappointed. We consumers are not stupid. I will not buy this product ever again. (This is also my first product review ... I was just feeling so ripped off , so many times, and so fed up with it, I had to post something)
What are you thinking – Corn cruskits are now tooooo bad to give any star rating. Smaller and already stale when opening the box. I am gluten intolerant, so the RICE cruskits were great. In this day and age, you take your best cruskits off the market. Show details
Rice Cruskits GONE? – Where have the Rice Cruskits gone? Neither Coles nor Woolies stock them in store or online. Totally gone. As a coeliac Rice Cruskits are the only gluten free even the Corn contain wheat flour. Please tell me why they are no more?
They've cheapened the product – Stupid move Arnott's. After using Cruskits for years I'm going to have to find another way to serve what the family calls "munchies." Instead of simply increasing the price (which I'd have been more than willing to wear) you've made each Cruskit smaller. Thanks to that stupid move the Cruskits tend to break easily so I can no longer rely on them… Read more
for the purpose they were originally designed for. So for the sake of saving a few cents per package you've made the product impractical to use and lost a customer. Did you really think customers wouldn't notice?
Shrinking – I opened a new box of Cruskits today, and they are noticeably smaller. Again, based upon the comments below. It’s an unsurprising trend, but it appears to be a standard approach by Arnotts in particular. What gives? I don’t mind the change, it’s the sneakiness that annoys. There is nothing on the pack that indicates anything other than they are “original.” Show details

Now Arnott's have stopped producing the Corn Cruskits, such a small thing but it's a major pleasure been ripped away from many people
