Arnotts Bush biscuits ?? They made a much publicised comeback last year and disappeared again just as quick !! Surely the amount that I purchased alone would have been enough to keep them in production....
I love grapes. With grapes, you always get another chance. You know, if you have a crappy apple or a peach, you’re stuck with that crappy piece of fruit. If you have a crappy grape, no problem-just move on to the next. ‘Grapes: The Fruit of Hope.

What every happened to ........ PartyTown theme song for Fridays on SAFM

I got sick of my job
sick of life
sick of future
and sick of my wife
jumped in my car and i got some gas
told everybody they could kiss my ass

chorus
im gonna party town
yea yea
im gonna party down
yea yea
gonna have some fun, i'm gonna fool around
right here in party town...

sun goes up
sun goes down
doesnt really matter in party town
we go all day and we go all night
we'll keep on going till we get it right

chorus....

Each Friday morning, the SAFM breakfast show would do an outside broadcast from different locations.. i remember getting up early and going to a show at Vic Park... was hell funny and a great breakfast to boot!!
RIP my DH 1964 - 2009 - You were one of the best and I miss you

It seemed like one of those situations where a vocal minority fool a company into thinking a product is more popular than it actually is.

Arnotts got convinced to bring them back and then they sat idle on the supermarket shelves all over again. I remember seeing a huge stack discounted at the supermarket and figured they would disappear again soon.

Shame, because I liked them too!

WHT the octopus pasta at Fasta Pasta? Was great to freak out little kiddies by plucking a whole octopus out of the plate and pretending it was still alive while you poked it into your mouth...

Bush Biscuits are an old Menz Biscuit . Menz were bought out by Arnotts
They were only sold in SA and were deleted in about 1990
They used to sell 90 tonne a year
The old Cutter which made them was sent to Papua New Guinea.
There was a limited launch in Foodland and Iga Stores about 3 years ago.
That was very successful and last year they did it again but included Coles and Woolworths

In vietnam when the soldiers ran out of bullets they used to throw Bush Biscuits at the opposition

By the way,
Arnotts now own Wagon Wheels
