Remember those lazy afternoons lounging on the couch with the smell of hot chips filling the air as your favourite show played?
It was such a simple joy, the comfort that sticks with you for years. That familiar warmth and satisfying crunch were the best part of those days, taking us back to a time when life felt much simpler.
Now, picture that beloved experience with a fresh twist—a new take on those classic flavours we cherished. It’s like a nostalgic nod to those golden days but with an exciting twist that makes it even more enjoyable.
Arnott’s, synonymous with snack-time nostalgia, has done just that. They’ve blended the essence of these iconic Australian snacks into a single, mouth-watering creation: Shapes Fully Loaded: Crunchy Hot Chips & Sauce.
This latest addition to the Shapes family is a culinary homage to the classic Australian tradition of enjoying hot chips with a tangy tomato sauce.
It’s a flavour fusion that promises to deliver the satisfying crunch of Shapes biscuits combined with the comforting, familiar taste of a hot chip feast, complete with the zesty kick of tomato sauce.
A spokesperson for Arnott’s shared their excitement about the new flavour, stating, ‘Arnott’s Shapes Fully Loaded is always on the hunt for bold new tastes that Australians will love. We’re constantly searching for flavour trends from around the world to help develop delicious new flavours.’
‘The iconic Australian snack of crunchy hot chips and sauce is the perfect next Shapes Fully Loaded flavour, delivering an afternoon flavour hit so many of us know and love in an exciting new way!’
This new Shapes flavour will be available at Coles starting in late April, and its retail price is $4.
Many took to social media to express their excitement. One commenter playfully suggested, ‘This should be breaking news,’ while another declared the new flavour ‘ICONIC, really.’
Looking ahead, consumer demand appears to extend beyond the current release. One commenter specifically inquired, ‘And gluten-free chicken crimpy next?’
Recently, Arnott’s has also reintroduced the beloved Shapes Four’N Twenty Classic Meat Pie.
Their selection features ultimate cheese, sizzling meat lovers, flame-grilled chicken, epic garlic bread, wicked sweet chilli, and a bueno beef taco.
The popular brand continues to enhance its classic Shapes line, building on the success of well-known flavours such as barbecue, pizza, chicken crimpy, Vegemite and cheese, savoury, and cheddar.
