VICTORY: Arnott’s Will Keep Barbecue & Chicken Crimpy Shapes In OG Form

MISSION. BLOODY. ACCOMPLISHED.

After the nation collective shat themselves upon the discovery that Arnott’s, for reasons that to this day remain utterly mystifying, attempted the fix the beloved and very much not-broken Shapes by cranking out “all new” recipes, it would appear common sense is finally prevailing (to a degree).
The benevolent biscuit tsar has announced that, due to overwhelming public outrage, they will be selling both Barbecue and Chicken Crimpy flavoured Shapes in their original form, just as the good lord intended.
The new recipes have been met with almost universal disgust, and even sparked a Change.org petition that, at the time of writing, has amassed some 10,000+ signatures from outraged snack enthusiasts.
Throughout the saga, Arnott’s has been doggedly defending the changes, asserting that they were a result of consumer feedback.

“We changed the flavours based on customer feedback that they wanted to see bigger and bolder flavours.”

Which is a fine statement and all, provided that previous customer feedback was naught but “JUST FUCK IT UP, FAM.”


And then, late yesterday, a reprieve; a stay of execution, if you will. Arnott’s took to their Facebook page to front the braying masses, announcing that both BBQ and Chicken Crimpy would remain as is, and would not feel the kiss of the chef’s blade.

That’s the good news.
The bad news, however, is that the new + improved formula will still be active for the remainder of the Shapes range, including the likes of Pizza and Cheese & Bacon.
There is no word on whether the new recipe has adversely affected Savoury. When someone actually eats one, we’ll let you know.
