The only thing that makes sense to me is they wrote a terrible list to generate traffic.

Kingston at #1. Ridiculous. Even a pint sized Monte Carlo will beat that rubbish hands down.

[–] quasar@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

I wouldn’t go that far, but things like choc ripple I refuse. Though Id call milk coffee bin worthy.

Absolutely flabbergasted. How can you put a Monty behind arrowroot and lemon crisp.

[–] Grade_Zero@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not having monte carlo at 1 should be considered a crime

[–] min0nim@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

The fact that Iced Vovo's aren't at number 1 is an issue I'll be taking up with Dan Andrews.

[–] RealVenom@aussie.zone 8 points 1 year ago

Based on everyone's responses, there is definitely no list until we go hottest 100 on cookies and determine the real list.

[–] Humanbiscuit@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Maybe when I’m 70 I might agree with this list, but if I do please run me over when I’m meandering down the middle of the highway out of my gourd.

The author has never actually eaten these biscuits I reckon.

Written by a discount AI

What about Venetians?! Having Monte Carlos so low should be a crime.

[–] zorlan@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago

Like many others here I actually enjoy the Monte Carlo, I won't contest Kingston up the top though.

[–] HorseFD@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Orange cream is actually pretty good.

[–] Rosencrantz23@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Orange Cream is the absolute tits. Whoever wrote this list needs an intervention.

[–] Lintson@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Maybe my palate has changed but I find all of the current Arnotts biccies are pale imitations of their former selves.

[–] TastyWheat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It's mamamia, what did you expect?

[–] Phantom@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

Arnotts Coffee scrolls were the most delicious biscuit ever. Biscuit of my childhood and wish they'd make a comeback.

[–] blendedracer@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I thought choc ripple were only for smothering in whipped cream to make a choc ripple cake. Does anyone actually eat them as biscuits??

[–] Wendy_MsGator@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

raises hand

I do.

[–] Nath@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

One of my kids took a while to be able to handle dairy. These things allowed him to have chocolate bikkies. Every other brand I found at the time had dairy in them.

[–] phonyphanty@pawb.social 2 points 1 year ago

Monte Carlo is the devil's cookie... Praise be to Kingston...

[–] CordanWraith@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

I actually agree with this list, although I would put arrowroot above lemon crisp and Monte Carlo right at the bottom.

[–] guidedlight@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

The best Arnott’s biscuits are the Arnott’s Farmbake Peanut Brownie; annoyingly made in Australia but not sold in Australia.

[–] elkazz@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Choc-dipped Scotch Finger is where it's at.
