1 kerry F.  · If it ain't broke don't fix it!! – Purchase Arnotts scotch finger and Arrowroot, terrible, thinner, different colour, Why??
1 sal  · Horrible – Choc chip premier cookies are just horrible! Do NOT recommend at all
1 Robyn  · Disgusting – Arnott arrowroot! Nothing like they used to be. There are now worse than the cheap generic versions!
2 Fiona  · Ginger Nuts – The Ginger Nut biscuits have declined since Arnotts changed from the old recipe. Arnotts need to go back to old recipes otherwise lose customers
1 Richard  · Scotch finger biscuits – These were fabulous biscuits in the past, now they seem to be tasteless, it appears that something has been left out....maybe butter?

Incredibly sad to see Arnott's biscuits have joined most Australian companys who are ripping off their customers by shrinking products and inflating prices... very pathetic of you Arnott's....the ice vovos are almost translucent and have vertually no jam on them any more because obviously jam cuts into their greedy profits....used to be a great… Read more

Aussie company until they fell into the world of greed and huge profits for fat cat CEO's...well done Arnott's..I will never buy any of your Rip off products ever again.... I hope your CEO enjoys there bonus this year as it has come from ripping off all your customers..... pathetic....

Disgusting! Do they even have people who taste them before they go on the market? Who is buying these cardboard biscuits?? Foul! All the biscuits have been changed over the past few years and they are truly disgusting! I think the only biscuit not to be turned to cardboard are Tim tams ..

Milk Arrowroot, terrible and tasteless – Milk arrowroot - thinner, tasteless and so hard they don’t even soften when you soak them in a cup of tea! The recipe has changed so much that they don’t even go soft months after the packet is open! Unfortunately can’t give a minus rating. Won’t ever buy them again. Show details

Change not always a good thing – Yesterday I bought a packet of Arnotts teddy bear biscuits and was greatly disappointed! They taste nothing like I remember. The texture and crumble are off. They don't even soak up my coffee or even cold milk like they used to. They taste fake and cheap now. They even look terrible! Arnotts have lost a customer for sure. Show details

Kingston Biscuits now taste horrible! Not worth the money – What have you done to Arnott's Kingston Biscuits??? No Cream in them anymore? Twisted them and 1 mm cream on both sides if your lucky. They taste different now like plain flour biscuits YUK!... Never buying Arnotts biscuits again I will just make my own from now on. Show details

Scotch Finger biscuits a childhood favourite - now taste like crunchy air – First time having these in somewhere around 20-30 years. I know our tastes change as we get older but I am certain this is more than that. These were bland and pale and smaller and thinner than I remember. No flavour at all. Such a disappointment that a once iconic Australian brand has fallen so far. Show details

Nice biscuits – Arnotts Nice biscuits taste like a Milk Arrowroot with sugar on top. Texture is hard and not like a soft crumble and way too sweet. Won't be buying again. Show details

Terrible quality – Your Iced Vo Vo biscuits are disgusting . Smaller in size , not crisp on the base, taste stale and are nowhere like what they used to be. Will not buy your products ever again. You should be ashamed of how your company has degraded your brand. Show details

Arnotts Poor Quality biscuits – Purchased few times arnotts biscuits. In particular the Kingston biscuits. The biscuits were dry and crumbled as you took a bite.and also they were not centered on top of one another properly. You just would not serve them to your guests as an afternoon snack. They looked as if kids puts them together. What happened to quality control Arnotts !!!!! Shamae shame shame, selling these biscuits at full price. They were like seconds !!! Show details

Arnotts shredded wheatmeal biscuits – I have been buying these biscuits for years, they are the only ones my husband will eat. I won't be buying them any more as they aren't the same quality that they were. They are thin and small compared to what they were. They break easily and they taste different. Arnott's you might be saving money on the production line but the bottom line is you are loosing customers. Show details

Wheatmeals have shrunk – Arnott’s Wheatmeals are now smaller and thinner than they used to be. They are now so brittle that every one was either broken, or broke getting it out of the packet I just bought. Very disappointing to find another Aussie legend has been compromised since Arnott’s were bought by a foreign company. Not good enough! Show details

Absolutely terrible – The new Arnotts Tiny teddy cereal tastes like dry dog food! It’s horrible. What a waste of nearly $18 trying the white and choc ones. Should be ashamed of yourself. Show details

Ginger nut biscuits are rubbish – Ginger nut biscuits are now rubbish and nothing like the originals. This is what happens when an American company takes over a good Australian company and sets about cheapening the product. Show details

WHAT HAPPENED TO MY FAVOURITE ARNOTTS MORNING COFFEE BISCUITS? – THE abovenamed Biscuit has apparently been discontinued in Australia. If I am incorrect, PLEASE, PLEASE tell me. It would have made more sense to me if ARNOTTS had discontinued the MILK COFFEE Biscuit, which is very much the same taste as ARROWROOT, TEEDYBEAR and perhaps others, BUT VERY different to MORNING COFFEE whose lovely taste may, in the past could have been likened to TINY TEDDIES]. Please bring MORNING COFFEE Biscuits back !!

is the Answer to profit-"Cheaper to enable sales and enable competitiveness", or is it "QUALITY", i ask – Having just bought in our fortnightly "order", putting the bickies in the bin- the first thing that occurred to me was the little disc representing a ginger-nut bicky...?....! What? Really... ( this compares with the little Malaysian or Indonesian tinies, that I won't name). It seems to me, just a consumer/layman but I have 6 to 8 Bickies to a… Read more

cuppa, have to be value and have to have taste. Have also noted the fall in quality of the "Scotch Fingers", as reviewed by some of your other Customers- I reckon it's the shortening -Lordy don't stop using real Butter!, and perhaps there is a little less salt? Man i will watch my salt intake!. Who cares about Texture, Colour, Flavour- Heck, we do care - lots of people juststop buying them withoutmaking comment- HELLO- Folks at ARTNOTTS, stop the trend of the rest of the world, of keeping the prices gently rising and providing a product at less cost to manufacture- make your product sought-after because it remains King, not because people are so easily satisfied- I am not!...

Scotch finger biscuits – So disappointed in scotch fingers just not the same. Less flavor, no way do they taste how they used to be. The thickness has changed also, they’re now thinner and much less crumbly. What a shame this keeps happening to our iconic brands. Just won’t be buying them anymore, an absolute disappointment.

Not very nice anymore – I had a couple of biscuits from a variety share pack tonight and they weren't good. The chocolate biscuit was terrible and the scotch finger was terrible too. I tried Yo, yos and they are ok but different too. Show details

Ruined – I knew it wasn’t just me, so was glad to read others had noticed this too. Teddy bear biscuits are nothing like they tasted before. Pay more for lesser quality. Show details

Rubbish – Teddy bears taste like Marie biscuits. Changed the recipe to all the biscuits. I will not buy them again. I'd like to know why Arnotts ruined their product without telling us.

Arnotts sux – Hadnt had scotch fingers for a while, bought a packet yesterday. Talk about Barry Crockers. Thinner harder smaller in length to the scotch fingers us babyboomers grew up with and loved. I tried to break into two fingers as we all did. No way they just broke into irregular pieces. Thought just a one off but no next three biscuits also… Read more

broke into irregular pieces. The taste is slightly similar but not as good as the old originals. The originals were softer and a bit like shortbread biscuits.

Why do they keep changing their recipes. Do they think we are all fools. I wont be buying Arnotts again. Poor old Mr. Arnott would turn in his grave. Dont even get me started on pecks anchovy paste. They always try to tell us nothing has changed. Guess we will all have to start making our own home cooked bickies.

Big corporations ruining iconic brands in their pursuit for massive profits! – Just like Cadbury , Arnott's is now terrible quality! A shadow of its former self! Boycott Arnott's & Cadbury until they revert back to the quality we all know & love! It's doesn't help when both companies swear black & blue that they haven't changed recipe's or ingredients! Insult to one's intelligence & demonstrates how sly they have become & only care about profits! If someone lies , do you trust them again? NO!! Show details

Poor quality biscuits – The quality of Arnott biscuits has dropped to the very bottom of the list . Will never buy Arnott’s ever again !!! . Please bring back the old recipes & quality biscuits that we’ve all loved over the years & were proud to call our favourite Aussie biscuit . What do we take to our friends overseas ? Too ashamed to give them Arnott’s . Show details

Disappointed in Vita Weat – I buy vita weat biscuits on a fairly regular basis. Today I cut a piece of cheese (same brand/size that I usually buy...creature of habit) and the cheese slice had even more overhang than usual. Are the vita weat biscuits being trimmed down in size? I sincerely hope not. We shopper's get so much less 'bang for our buck' these days, it's dreadful that businesses try to squeeze as much profit as they do. Disappointed. Show details

Arnott's Milk Arrowroot Biscuit has changed to something else entirely – I recently bought a packet of Arnott's Milk Arrowroot and noticed the colour and shape were different as soon as I shook them from their white tubular packet into my biscuit tin. Thin and hard they were so different in taste out of curiosity I then jumped on my computer to see if anyone else had noticed it and found this site immediately. These… Read more

biscuits sure are not what Arnott's have produced for many decades and after eating two they will be going into the bin as they are not even a pale shadow of what they were before though they have been produced in an oval style to mimic an approximation of the original shape to fool buyers. Any subtlety of the Arrowroot flavour has been ditched completely and replaced with sugar.
