How big are chicken crimpys? I just saw they have finally done a GF version but they are tiny? Like roughly the same as a BBQ shape?
I remember them being much bigger but maybe that's because I haven't had them for so long? Are Arnott's shafting the coeliacs of the world here?
(They taste great tho)
I hate Arnott's, the company that owns Arnott's, the people whose idea it was to fuck with the pizza shapes.
Itβs all the flavours. I used to love the sprinkles at the bottom. The generous seasoning was what made them so addictively tasty. They are a ghost of what they used to be. The bastards ruined it.
I havenβt had them in years. I remember they changed to where the tomato salt was oddly much sweeter and there might have been a time they didnβt have a lot of topping. The remaining seasoning was the best part.
Anyway if I was still able to eat this sort of thing Iβd definitely give the Aldi versions a try.
That was the reason you ate the whole box so nobody else gets the treasure at the bottom. No treasure no pleasure anymore. π
I was already in my post gluten era then so I was spared the tragedy
I'm still dirty about it.
I'm still peeved about the BBQ shapes. They did the "new improved flavour!" thing and everyone complained vigorously, so they made a public thing about changing it back. Then down the track when the fuss had died down they quietly did it anyway and stealthily turned them to shit. They were a special snack that 3 generations of my family enjoyed before they stuffed them up. I've never bought them again, cheap arse bastards tinkering with classics can get bent.
Notice you don't see the ad anymore "flavour you can see" that's because you can't see it anymore. You can't even taste it anymore. Arseholes.
I've boycotted everything Arnott's except the Monte Carlos. I'm lazy and shit at baking otherwise I'd make them myself.
The crimpys are a larger biscuit, but they make mini crimpys in snack packs.
Standard ones are still juuust the right size to stick in my hard palate if i nibble off the nubbies a bit
I was buying arnotts less and less as the quality went down every year
now with not having milk products I can't buy anyway
