Reviewer Photos & Videos
i want to kill myself because of these shapes
these shapes actually tasted so bad i would rather eat soap. perhaps u actually hire people with good ideas for flavours. in my 60 years of life i have never inserted something so bad into my mouth. my grandaughter vomited it all up
Purchased in March 2022 at Amplifon for $2.50.
Quality approaching zero
I've been eating shapes for longer than I can remember. Perhaps longer than 40 years. I'm very disappointed with how the quality has degraded over time. You can do better.
Purchased in February 2022.

Not like the original shapes.
I’ve been purchasing bbq shapes for years and before I could even buy them my mother always had them in the pantry. Man they tasted si good back then, full of flavour and baked to perfection.
That all changed a few years back when Arnotts attempted to make a healthier version they said. Stupid I say as I had to stockpile like 20 boxes of the original shapes in desperation.
Angry as I was and so many other loyal shapes fans I was glad they reverted back but still they are not as good as they were in the early days.
On the topic of Pizza shape...
Read mores well they have really let fans down as the cheese bits are non exsistant. Either the staff at Arnotts operating the machines are asleep or they have changed the recipe because these should no longer be called pizza shapes. Dissapointed and every box I buy is like this in the pics I have provided. Just red seasoning with no pizza shape flavour. Come on guys, stop taking short cuts or cost cutting . Make them how they once were or forget about people buying these once loved biscuits. You lost a lot of fans with the bbq shapes debarkle and now I’d assume you would have already lost more with the lack of pizza shape love going on here.Purchased in February 2022.
I bought 2 boxes of Chicken Crimpy shapes, and the biscuit was hard with no flavour, stop cutting costs!!
Listen to your customers, shapes were perfect b4, keep the Original recipe, stop trying to change them, you'll loose customers and profit, And sack the yes men, and the ones trying to alter the taste n texture of an already delicious product
You can't improve on Perfection!

Salt Shapes (formerly known as Barbeque Shapes)
Disgusting nothing like the original, now they are just pieces of inedible wheat things with red and green coloured salt. Even the salt tastes terrible. Every now and then you get a box like the original, the hit rate is about 1 in10, which doesn't cut it anymore. So after decades of happy marriage I hereby declare my permanent divorce with shapes, adios.
Purchased in December 2021 for $3.
Absolutely flavorless get plain crackers instead.
The light flavouring that can only be described as powder is messier that the historical flavour rich were sprinkles.
These taste like sayos if you stuck with these,
buy a bowl of hummus or tsatsiki to use them
Then don't bother with them ever ever again.
Purchased in November 2021 for $1.60.

New fried chicken shapes.
I have been eating shapes for decades and there is always a packet or two in the cupboard. The new fried chicken shapes would have to be my favourite to date.
Cheddar shapes?
What’s happened?
No flavour, the biscuit texture is different too and the topping is hardly there!
False advertising as it’s no longer the “Original” recipe
Please change it back. Please please please please

Tasteless
Shapes claim to be original recipe but this is clearly not the case as I'm sure other people remember eating the left over flavour crumbs from the bottom of the box...and now the shapes have so little flavour that they kinda taste like the box...

New: fried chicken smells like cat pee
The new 'Fried Chicken'/KFC ones smell like cat pee. It is very off putting. They tasted ok (I was brave), but smell so bad!
Even my cat was confused by the smell emanating (though he also wanted to eat them).

Not the same as it was
I find the flavour has changed due to the company cutting corners...they don't have that wonderful hit to them anymore. What a shame...they were enjoyable until they went downhill hmm...

Very disappointed
They are now so disappointing, they have changed the flavour and they are no longer as good as they used to be. They lack the flavour hit you used to get and they are overpowered by the biscuit. Won't be buying them again

Pizza Shapes - No flavour anymore
I used to love these but they're crap now. No flavour anymore. Also wasn't dud box, I bought two and both had no flavour. It seems like they're cutting costs.
Purchased in September 2021 at Woolworths for $2.99.

They were great until they changed the recipe and cooking process
Shapes used to have great flavour and texture until they changed their complete biscuits in every way, now they are terrible and are banned in this household. my wife has bought them on the odd occasion when they were on special, however they get thrown out now.
Before they changed we would buy at least 8 boxes per week minimum for the family.

Questions & Answers
There used to be a flavour that had chicken in it but camels in a light blue or blue box.what was this flavour again. It was my favourite as a little kid in the 80s
I can't remember what this flavour was called, but it was a little round biscuit that was a bit puffed, and I think the flavour was chicken related. This was back in about 2008
bacon in a biscuit?
Oops, just read the chicken related....chicken drumstick shapes.
Hi just wandering if you would be able to help me, I’m doing an assignment on your Vegemite shapes & one off the questions is How much does it cost Arnotts to make Shapes. Iv tried to goggle it & had no luck
It would be very much appreciated if your able to help, my assignment is Due tomorrow.
Kind regards
Ricardo
Hi Ricardo, I think only Arnotts could tell you how much they cost to make, but they charge between $2 and $3 at Woolworths, when you can get them. Good luck with your assignment
