Arnott's Shapes are a popular line of savoury biscuits produced by Arnott's in Australia and New Zealand.[1] Over 53 million packets of Shapes are consumed each year in Australia.[2]
Shapes were first introduced in 1954, in Victoria, by Brockhoff Biscuits.[3][4] Savoury was the first flavour, followed soon by Barbecue, Chicken Crimpy, and Onion.[4]
Shapes were originally made in the shape of potato chips, until bakers realised that they were too difficult to cut and were a waste of dough. In 1974, they switched to the flat biscuits that are sold today.[3]
