BRING BACK FLAVOUR YOU CAN SEE
Jesus christ arnotts..... we literally can't win with you. The old flavours (bbq, pizza etc) are so bloody tasteless and the new ones are absolutely disgustingly salty and don't even taste like what flavour they say they are. Tried ultimate cheese yesterday and got excited by how much flavour there appeared to be. However, it was disappointing to see they were the crappy thin biscuits and obviously didn't taste like cheese at all.. they were soooooo salty I couldn't eat more than 2 pieces. I cannot buy the original flavours anymore because when... Read moreever I've tried them, to relive my childhood, I'm slapped in the face by their terrible product. What a great way to ruin Australians' nostalgia. Now, all I want to do is lick what little flavour it has off and throw away the biscuits. Why would you ever get rid of the thick coated mouthwatering flavour YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE and the piles of it that was down the bottom. People used to love getting to the end of a packet and fight over who got to eat all the flavour, but now no one can even finish a packet -_- you think arnotts would've learned after the uproar of getting rid of the originals a while back. I've found that nacho cheese are the ONLY shapes I can tolerate anymore since they've usually got decent seasoning on them and they are actually very tasty! Still, I despise arnotts for what they've done. Not that enjoyable only being stuck with 1 flavour, does get boring :/

BBQ flavour this is char grilled/well done
Flavour that you can see? The only Flavour in this box was burnt BBQ flavours from over cooked charred biscuits. The spice that is supposed to be on these so-called biscuits was non existing and there was nothing in the bottom of the bag either. So was this box of biscuits skipped for the added spices? Or are these the new interpretation of what passes for Arnott's BBQ biscuits these days? Extremely disappointed with this.Has anyone else noticed that Arnott's have been skimping on the amount of flavouring in the Shapes biscuits? Guessing that Arnott's have done this to save on outgoing costs. Terrible decision making Arnott's. Just like when you attempted to alter the Shapes recipe in 2016. Bad tasting burnt biscuits.......

No flavour
Bought a pkt of BBQ shapes the other day.There is next to no flavour & definitely can’t see the flavour like they promote.
I won’t be buying these again.
They’ve done a good job of killing off this product. Show details

Shapes no more … so sad
The biscuits have shrunk, they are too firm/hard to the bite, and there is not enough flavour you can see… you think they would have learned their lesson after the debacle a few years back

Please bring them back, flame grilled BBQ
I never review things but couple years ago I used to buy flame grilled BBQ shapes litterally everytime I had the chance, they were soo good, I don't know where they went, cant buy them anywhere but everytime I google the name, Woolworths has an old ad for them and that makes me sad because the photo is right there but they've been sold out for years, its not okay they are soo good and I keep telling people about them but I can't find them anywhere, please bring back the flame grilled BBQ shapes, idk if they'll live up to my expectations because I've thought about them too much but I need to know if they were as good as I remember Show details

Nacho Cheese! the end!
Nacho Cheese ones are the best, tons of flavour and causes my stomach to hurt because of said acidic/salty flavour lol, cause yeah GERD and all that.Regardless however about that annoyance best flavour, of course I only tried 2 flavours as the rest either have the yeast extract too high up or too much sugar and I’m glucose intolerant now.
So pizza was the other flavour and it wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t good either, very oil flavoured honestly.
I tried barbecue awhile ago and that was nicely flavoured but a bust because I could feel litera... Read more
l chilli in my mouth and so I needed a PPI that day from memory as it burned my stomach. Shame because the flavour was great. Had the same ordeal with the flaming chicken too, bloody chilli. Lovely flavour if you can have spice. Want to try the cheese one someday but from memory it was very salty so I dunno, maybe when it’s on special I’ll try it and mix it with milk.

Terrible
Arnott's started in Australia in 1847 and were once a great company with great products but no longer. I'm 70 and I've been an Arnott's biscuit eater all my life. Now the products are so small and the price so high I can't let myself be conned anymore. Yeah, the weight might be on the packets in small print but a person should be given a fair indication of the size of the contents by the size and shape of the packet. Shapes and Jatz are bland and mostly tasteless flattened little dots and squares, and Monte Carlos and Kingston etc are an embarassment to the company as far as I'm concerned. Is this is the way you want your loyal customers to be treated Arnotts? Show details

TERRIBLE HORRIBLE
I used to love shapes, especially the original cheese. Management destroyed them. They used to be cooked perfectly and have loads of flavour. Now they have no flavour and are overcooked, as many are dark brown with a slightly burnt taste. Would give zero stars if possible. Never buying again.

For God's sake please, please, please add some flavour back to your original biscuits
Shapes used to be great the original biscuit is there but they have next to no flavour and this is why they have 1.5 stars in 99%of reviews and while supermarkets continually have them on special because otherwise no one would buy them , better off eating the box . Show details

Sad product placement
After watching the embarrassing product placement of Arnotts shapes on the Sunday Footy Show I have decided to stop buying the product.The shapes boxes on the panel desk was not a good look, not sure who thought this up but it's a poor look for this company.

Chicken crimpy skimpy flavour
I have bought chicken crimpy for years and years. Opened a packet today June 17 2023 and was absolutely disappointed ☹️ next to no flavour and may has went have been eating cardboard. I guess it’s their way of saving money but I won’t be purchasing at all anymore. Was a staple in our house but not again. Show details

Used to my go to every week
I’m so disappointed in the way the company has tried to save money by sacrificing flavour and quality of a snack that has been around longer than I have lived. I grew up from a child in the 80s and the quality and flavour has maintained throughout most of my life until the last couple of years now, the pizza shapes have no little burnt cheese bits. The barbecue shapes have just tomato flavour and no herb flavour to it. It is so disappointing that an Aussie icon and one of my favourite snacks has gone downhill so far and skimped to save money, there’s NOTHING worse than buying a product and being disappointed in what you have charge just a little extra, but bring back the quality or quit stop insulting us Show details

What is happening with Arnotts Barbeque Shapes??? They used to be covered in flavour and baked perfect.
All boxes this year have been over cooked browned to the point of a burnt taste and other side has no flavour.
I can remember they were once covered in so much flavour and even the bottom of the packet was lined with flavour could pick up with your fingers. Quality has gone down hill so much we are talking of no longer buying them anymore. Pretty dam sad you have ruined what has been a favourite in our family since we were kids.

Are you thinking of Dixie Drumsticks? They used to be made by Nabisco, but were discontinued in 2015. They came back in August 2021, now called In A Biskit Drumstix flavour.

Arnotts shapes deserve to be shoved in any orifice except the mouth.

I can't remember what this flavour was called, but it was a little round biscuit that was a bit puffed, and I think the flavour was chicken related. This was back in about 2008
