"We used to have different bakeries in different States, each making a Ginger Nut biscuit that the locals loved. When Arnott's became a national company we looked at the possibility of selling one Ginger Nut nationally."
"In Qld, Gingernuts are thin and sweet with a dark colour;
In NSW they are small, thick and hard, with a light colour;
In Vic and Tas, they are bigger, softer and sweeter.
In SA and WA, the biscuits look similar to their Vic cousins, but taste sweeter
Here's a picture of a box of ginger nut biscuits made to tempt the taste-buds of NSW residents. But Arnotts is now suggesting they make one biscuit for the whole nation. Is nothing sacred? We're being forced to eat centrally-produced ginger nut biscuits made to suit the majority and without the special qualities of the state-based biscuits we grew up with. Shame, Arnotts, shame!
