Shoppers in uproar as fan-favourite biscuit has vanished from stores
- Replies 25
In a country where a cuppa and a biscuit is a cherished ritual, the sudden disappearance of a beloved treat from supermarket shelves can cause quite a stir.
This is precisely what happened recently when Arnott's Nice biscuits, a staple in many Australian households, seemed to vanish into thin air, leaving loyal customers bewildered and craving their sugar-coated comfort.
For those who have been frantically searching the biscuit aisle to no avail, you're not alone.
Over the past two weeks, reports have been flooding in from concerned biscuit lovers who feared that the classic Nice biscuits had been discontinued.
However, before you start hoarding any remaining packets you might find tucked away in the pantry, there's good news on the horizon.
Arnott's Australia has spoken and was assured that the disappearance is only temporary. The company confirmed that there had been a 'temporary delay in supply', though they did not provide details on what caused the delay.
‘Rest assured, our delicious Nice biscuits will be back on supermarket shelves in the coming weeks after experiencing a temporary supply delay,’ an Arnott's spokesperson said.
It's understood that stock has already left warehouses and is en route to supermarkets across the country.
In the meantime, Arnott's has suggested that fans of the Nice biscuit might find solace in their Family Favourite variety packs.
These packs include a selection of Arnott's classics, such as Milk Arrowroot, Butternut Snap, Scotch Finger, Chocolate Ripple, Teddy Bear, and Milk Coffee biscuits.
But with only six Nice biscuits per variety pack, you might find yourself in a friendly scuffle for the last one.
Arnott's, a company with a rich history dating back to 1875 in Newcastle, New South Wales, has long been a part of Australia's cultural fabric, producing a range of plain and sweet biscuits and cakes.
The company, originally known as Arnott's Steam Biscuit Factory, quickly expanded from shipping to Sydney to establishing warehouses and distribution networks around the country.
The origin of the Nice biscuit itself is a topic of debate. While Arnott's claims to have invented the biscuit, a British company, Huntley & Palmers, also stakes a claim, having produced a Nice biscuit as early as 1904.
There's even an urban legend suggesting that the biscuit was named after the French city of Nice following Queen Victoria's visit to the South of France.
