War Rations


Arnotts have just reissued these biscuits, presumably to lend support to the embattled US President. They were used as Australian troop rations through both World Wars. All the manufacturing equipment went to Papua New Guinea, when demand slowed here in Australia. A special order of 304,320 were made and dumped on the market with no advertising over Christmas. The supermarkets here have been overflowing with them for a short time. Wonder if it is the name. They are actually quite good. Bit like a sweet Rich T.
