Arnott\u2019s Scotch Finger has been crowed Australia\u2019s favourite biscuit<\/a>, beating out newer products to take out the top spot<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Consumer group Canstar<\/a> surveyed 2390 Australians\u00a0for their feedback on the sweet biscuit brands<\/a> they\u2019ve purchased and eaten in the last six months to decide on the country\u2019s best-rated option.<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

It’s official: The Scotch Finger is Australia’s favourite sweet biscuit.\u00a0Jo Abi<\/p>\n

The Scotch Finger was awarded five stars for overall satisfaction<\/a>, and four stars for taste, value for money, texture, packaging, and variety and range. One 250g packet costs $3.30.<\/p>\n

Scotch Fingers are one of Arnott\u2019s original treats<\/a>, released in 1906. They were originally called Kiel Fingers but changed names in 1914.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s Classic Assorted variety packs, which include Scotch Fingers alongside other classics, took out second place<\/a>, earning five stars for overall satisfaction<\/a>, packaging, and variety and range and four stars for value for money.<\/p>\n

In third spot are Arnott\u2019s Kingston biscuits, with five stars for overall satisfaction<\/a>, taste, texture, and packaging, followed by Arnott\u2019s Monte Carlo in fourth spot.<\/p>\n

While Arnott\u2019s took out the first four places on the list, McVitie\u2019s Digestives took out the fifth spot.<\/p>\n

Arnott\u2019s returned to the list in sixth place with their popular Assorted Cream variety packs, followed by the company\u2019s Tim Tam and Ginger Nut in seventh and eighth place respectively.<\/p>\n

Completing the list are Lotus Biscoff in the ninth spot, Arnott\u2019s Mint Slice in 10th place, Oreo in 11th spot, and Coles Choc Chip Cookies in 12th place.<\/p>\n

Also making the list is Coles\u2019 home brand Scotch Finger, and the Shortbread Cream, Ice Vovo and Tiny Teddy from the Arnott\u2019s range.<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

Arnott’s dominated the results of Canstar’s survey.\u00a0Jo Abi<\/p>\n

Canstar found 43 per cent of Aussie shoppers buy their sweet biscuits based on what is on special.<\/p>\n

Fourteen per cent tend to buy the cheapest available, and a further 48 per cent stock up on their favourite biccies when they are on sale, purchasing multiple packs.<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

Tim Tam made it to seventh place on the shopper survey.\u00a0Jo Abi<\/p>\n

Forty-four per cent of those surveyed like to keep their favourite biscuits in stock in their pantries, and 41 per cent see biscuits as an affordable way to enjoy a sweet treat.<\/p>\n

These sweet treats go perfectly with a cup of tea \u2013 and Canstar recently named Aldi\u2019s Diplomat tea bags as Australia\u2019s favourite.<\/p>\n

Diplomat tea bags\u00a0earned five stars<\/a>\u00a0for overall satisfaction, brew strength and\u00a0value for money<\/a>. <\/p>\n

They are also an absolute bargain, costing just $1.75 for a box of 100 tea bags, which works out to be\u00a02c each<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Woolworths\u2019 home brand tea bags<\/a>\u00a0came second in the Canstar ranking, also earning five stars for overall satisfaction.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tea bags were rated according taste, brew strength, and value for money.\u00a0Jo Abi<\/p>\n

Premium T2 teabags came in third place, earning five stars for taste, packaging, and\u00a0variety and range<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dilmah came fourth with a consistent four stars across all categories, followed by Tetley in fifth place and Nereda in sixth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arnott\u2019s Scotch Finger has been crowed Australia\u2019s favourite biscuit, beating out newer products to take out the top…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":751735,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[64,63,99],"class_list":["post-751734","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/751734","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=751734"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/751734\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/751735"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=751734"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=751734"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=751734"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
