Arnott’s Shapes – Big Dippers (Tasty Cheddar)

Good Morning and welcome to todayâs cubicle snack food review â Arnottâs Shapes â Big Dippers (Tasty Cheddar)

In the wee hours of this morning I was fumbling in the pantry looking for a snack for morning tea when I found these glowing, almost radiant packages in a box marked âKids morning tea, do not takeâ. Up for a challenge I took one, stuffed it in my bag and drove off into the darkness. Being that I normally cannot recall the first half hour of my hour-and-a-bit journey into work every day it comes to no surprise that I forgot that I had packed this snack in my bag until my stomach started self-digesting around 10am. Having eaten way too many donuts over the last 24 hour period (it never rains, it pours with donuts around here) I reached into my bag to see what my early morning delirium alternate personality had packed for a snack. To my joy I found the aforementioned snack still glowing and beckoning for me to munch at it. Here in started my euphoric journey into a magical world of cheese and cheddar related joy.

Show me a person who doesnât like Arnottâs Shapes and ill show you a person who enjoys using Microsoft products. Their vast range has satisfied the whole country, be it a late nite snack while watching a DVD, or a whole meal when there is nothing else left the day before payday, Shapes are the godsend of snacks.

Arnottâs must have been reading fatloaf.com one day and realised that not everyone has time to eat a whole box of shapes while they are at work (I have done this before, but thatâs a different story, it nearly ended in bloodshed). They have come up with the âBig Dippersâ Range. Basically they are a plastic container that has about a dozen Arnottâs shapes in one side, and a bountiful supply of cheese in the other for your dipping pleasure.

In the past I have been left high and dry while eating what I like to call âDippersâ , as there is never enough of the dipping substance, and the dipping biscuits seem like they were the ones that were swept up off the floor at the end of the manufacturing shift. This is certainly not the case with this brand. The alfoil lid was easy to open, and it had the correct weight to be able to flick over into the bin without fear of reprisal from the looming office cleaners later in the day. The biscuits were of normal characteristics, in fact, ill start the roumer right here on fatloaf that the biscuits are hand selected for incorporation into these bundles of joy. On the long edge of the biscuits they have made both convex and concave edges. This not only aids you to scoop the cheese easier from the corners of the tub, but also adds a little bit of uncertainty to how you will perform your next scoop. The cheese in the dipping side was plentiful, in fact I had some left over. It seemed like real cheese too, which is either very good concealment, or very good production.

All in all it was an excellent morning tea snack, it left me satisfied, and energised for the long wait till lunch.

I give this snack 9 ½ sea monkeys out of 10. It lost ½ a sea monkey cause I will no doubt cop grief from the little ones when I get home, and I have to blambe that one something, besides me.

Bon Appetite!

-HINT â save a convex biscuit for the last scoop, else you will need to use your finger !
