Don't know,but I can tell you that every Tim Tam I have seems to taste better each and every time.

We abandonded Tim tams when they shrunk. But at Coles this week they are very very cheap. Almost tempted

 I was a executive at Arnotts in my other working life. I can assure that Tim Tam has always been 200 gram packet. But now they also seem to have a 360 gram.

If the biscuit has shrunk, they must be putting some lead in the pack.

But then the metal detector would pick that up.

Anyway I don't mind a Kit Kat. I use to sell them together with Smarties when they were made and owned by Rowntrees. That was another world  back in the early 1960,s  so that will give you an Idea of how bloody old I am.

Craig,

Yes we could not sell the southern manufactured Ginger Nuts, as the public lodge hundred of complaints about them being to hard.

Conversely the south did not like the Qld made G. Nuts.

My view now, sitting back and observing from afar is that Mr Campbell has had almost 30 years to keep the success of Arnotts providing good profit for them.

But they slashed, cut and burnt the total company and are now reaping the loose for their lack of foresight.

This company has been around since 1847.

In 1847, Scottish immigrant William Arnott opened a bakery in Morpeth. Later in 1865 he moved to a bakery on Hunter Street, Newcastle, New South Wales,Australia, providing biscuits and pies to townspeople and ships docking at the local port.

The only good thing about Mr Campbell's ownership is that they saved Arnotts falling into the hands of Alan Bond back in the late 1980's. You remember him and how he operated, or should I say did not operate.

Still enjoy some of their product, but the Quality of some??????
