Australian biscuit giant, Arnott’s has divided treat lovers with the release of a ranking of the country’s favourite biscuits for 2024. The biscuit manufacturer revealed Australians consumed over 8 billion of their biscuits in 2024. A whopping 98 per cent of Australian homes purchased a box of the brands biscuits through the year.
From those sales, biscuits have been ranked in the ‘Top 10 Arnott’s Bikkies for 2024’ list. Coming in as Australia’s favourite was the much-loved Tim Tam original. Created in 1964, the iconic chocolate biscuit appears to be standing the test of time.
In second place was the Barbecue flavour of the beloved Shapes family. The manufacturer confirmed more than 13.4 million packets of Barbecue Shapes were purchased in 2024.
Barbecue was the most consumed shape over other flavours Chicken Crimpy and Pizza. Also making the list, Jatz, Tim Tam Double Coat, the Salada, Mint Slice, Scotch Fingers and Monte Carolo. Scotch Fingers were the only treat from the company’s oldest biscuits to make the list, with Milk Arrowroot (1882), Water Crackers (1882), SAO and Iced VoVos missing out this year.
Although many of Australia’s favourites made the list, some consumers weren’t happy that their beloved biscuits didn’t make the top 10. “No choc monties (sic)? Recount!” one user commentated on Instagram. “Jatz? Where are the savoys?” another wrote, potentially looking at sparking a fierce interstate debate.
“Put some respect on the Shapes Cheese & Bacon name!” a third commented. Some were unhappy with the Original Tim Tam beating Double Coat, saying: “Who is buying original over double coat Tim Tams?” Do you agree with Australia’s favourite biscuit?.
