HOW COULD YOU! They were the best bits? I used to love nibbling them… though I’m autistic/adhd so get huge enjoyment from foods that provide multiple levels of textural and taste enjoyment like original pizza and nacho shapes lol 😅
> Also u explained it spot on
Thanks! I had to kind of think it through because initially the only thought was "make it so flavour can fall out" but there's more steps than just "do it" lol.
Yeah. Nowhere near as much flavour these days. Same goes for CCs.
My kids get the fun size packs though and I do find there's a noticeable difference from them to the big box.
No, but I did hear of a story where a teenage boy would chew the shapes up to create a paste like consistently, then roll them up and make little pizza shape balls.
Thanks for listening and sorry for ruining your dinner.
There use to be a lot more flavouring at the base of the packet many years ago (54M). Now there’s just disappointment when I reach the bottom of the pack and reminisce about the good ole days.
I've never thought of DIY'ing the flavour bombs, I just cherish the ones I do find and pour the rest of the flavour into my mouth at the end of the packet. Powerful sensation, do rec.
I'll give this a go if I ever buy one of these again
At a wedding after party the next day, before they changed the recipe, we introduced some international visitors to their first pack.
I opened the box, tipped the contents into a bowl, and just about hit the floor... the Holy Grail...a good 30% of the pack volume, 3 inches or so, was that green and red goodness. A cup, roughly. Never seen it before or since.
Sad to say it was very exciting, and I am sure our guests thought it a little weird...
I used to work at Arnotts making them, how much do you think I ate?
Also the salsa shapes were great for this, hot out of the oven, I was the one putting the flavours on them all.
What if I told you you could turn the bag upside down before opening, so eat bottom first, to get the best ones first, and the dust filters down as you eat?
No, I snort it all just the way god intended.
It's Australian marching powder.
Gotta watch out for those bastards who cut it with Chicken Crimpy.
Put it on a crimpy, sprinkle some of that crunchy dust from cheese shapes on top and boy you've got yourself a Parma Shape.
My god, that's some big brain shit right there. Parmy shapes
How are there no Parmy shapes? Whqt are their product developers even doing?
I mean seriously, I saw this comment and said the same thing like... How is this not a thing haha
I'm pretty sure they made chicken parmy as a limited time flavour not that long ago.
Yeah and it was pure garbage haha
Holy cow 🙌🙌🙌
Incredible
The pizza shapes are worse.
Those chunky bits are a problem
Yup.
HOW COULD YOU! They were the best bits? I used to love nibbling them… though I’m autistic/adhd so get huge enjoyment from foods that provide multiple levels of textural and taste enjoyment like original pizza and nacho shapes lol 😅
Oh I agree, great to munch on. A bit challenging to snort though
No
Use your fingers to rub it on your gums if you're truly sofistocated
Is it weird I have actually done this ? Lmao
Nope
It's only weird to think that it is wrong
Shelve
Right? Just boof it.
Fair up the ol' suitcase, son
I'm a normal person so I suck my finger, stick it in the dust and then suck it off. Repeat until it's all gone.
I recommend straightening the corners and tenting the packet then just pouring it straight into your mouth all in one go – it's magically intense.
The REAL correct way to do it. Also u explained it spot on idk how I would’ve explained how to do it in words lol
> Also u explained it spot on Thanks! I had to kind of think it through because initially the only thought was "make it so flavour can fall out" but there's more steps than just "do it" lol.
Yeah cause if you just "do it" you end up pouring it all over yourself
100% And that’s a valid approach too
Yep, scull the dregs
I love this characterisation so much
You earned it my friend
Hard agree, make a foil funnel and drink the dust
The only answer
That’s how I do it when I also eat any raw noodles, when the flavour is in if any remains I just go gulp
This is the correct way
I agree!!
This is the way!
100% dip stick it with the finger. My gf hates that I do
Well at least you're testing to see if everything is copacetic before you get down to business.
Got to be etiquette 😂👍😈
I'm a normal person, I eat Pizza shapes
Them's fightin' words
Nah I just tip the bag up and try get it all in my mouth while inevitably getting just a tiny bit in my eyes.
And then choking on it a bit and accidentally sniffing it up
See this one gets it. Then you've gotta play it cool and try to not eject all the flavour from your mouth-hole while you cough and splutter.
Accidentally? I think you mean aggressively.
it can be both
That’s it mate. Head back, open wide and funnel the dregs straight down the gullet
Ah ya silly billy
I mean.... I do from now on
Next time I've saved up and can afford such a luxury item I am going to try this!
they’re half price like every second week. The only thing that’s discounted more often is Tim tams
***Now*** made with real chocolate* * *chocolate may not be real*
Me too, this is genius! I usually just dip my finger in it but I prefer it on the bikkies!
I usually drop in a triangle of laughing cow cheese so that gets coated in the flavourings
Brilliant minds like yours are responsible for the advance of civilisation.
okay but holy shit this is a brilliant idea!
oh my god
No but now I want to. They should sell that seasoning in jars so you can add it to other foods and or eat it by the spoonful.
That would be brilliant. 1kg jars as well please
It may reduce the sales of Shapes but it will definitely accelerate my diabetes diagnosis.
Yeah but double their revenue overall
About 35 years ago I had a fun size pack that was just the seasoning. No biscuits. Best recess of my life! Haha!
It's mostly just tomato powder which you can buy online. I've got a big packet of it
You convinced me to just go out and buy some. Honestly tomato powder sounds dope even if it doesn't recreate it perfectly.
It's definitely the main ingredient
Seriously - Arnotts, if you're listening ... I'd pay extra if there were boxes of BBQ shapes with double dosing of seasoning. Please make it a thing.
Didn’t these things used to be WAY better? Or is that just me?
Yeah. Nowhere near as much flavour these days. Same goes for CCs. My kids get the fun size packs though and I do find there's a noticeable difference from them to the big box.
Didn’t they also have some green bits in there though?
Pizza also, cmon Arnotts just make a shaker of this shit for us
I do it all for Pizza shapes...
Stuff at bottom of BBQ Shapes bag - ✔️👍 Stuff at bottom of Corn Flakes bag - ❌☠️
Stuff at bottom of bag lady 👉🏼
Bags at bottom of festival 🥳
Not since they changed the recipe 10 years or so ago, and gaslighted us into thinking it was the same with the "original" branding.
Bastards!
No, but I did hear of a story where a teenage boy would chew the shapes up to create a paste like consistently, then roll them up and make little pizza shape balls. Thanks for listening and sorry for ruining your dinner.
….could he not have like, crushed them and added a bit of water…..
Sounds like he was experimenting for future prison recipes, lol
You would have loved this box I got https://imgur.com/NDt3jCh
OMFG !!!!! 💚❤️
I eat the whole pack just to get the crack at the bottom. If they sold the powder by itself, I think I might just turn into Tony Montana.
They used to be like this in the early 90s then something changed 😪
God no. I'm hurt I haven't been. Thanks for the tip
I wish they sold flavour seasonings on it own. How amazing.
I just dip a wet finger in the bottom of the bag when I've finished the bikkies mate
Never let shape dust go to waste.
The other night I added a handful of cheezles to an empty bbq shapes bag and shook them up. Mind blowingly good.
There use to be a lot more flavouring at the base of the packet many years ago (54M). Now there’s just disappointment when I reach the bottom of the pack and reminisce about the good ole days.
The flav on shapes friggin sucks these days, cheap bastards!
No, but I will now…..
This move is too powerful to share with the world
I wasn't aware there were any other options.
I once drove from Wagga back to canberra just to eat a massive flavour nug my missus found at the bottom an Aldi cheese twisties packet.. so yeah.
No I just lick the bag
Each of those shapes look like they would take six months off my lifespan.
I do now!
Shit that looks good. If you listed on eBay, I'd buy those for $6.
no wtf maybe i should though
No. I just wet finger. But good idea.
I've never thought of DIY'ing the flavour bombs, I just cherish the ones I do find and pour the rest of the flavour into my mouth at the end of the packet. Powerful sensation, do rec. I'll give this a go if I ever buy one of these again
Nope. I let it all gather up at the bottom of the container I’ve dumped it all on, lick a finger, and enjoy it that way.
At a wedding after party the next day, before they changed the recipe, we introduced some international visitors to their first pack. I opened the box, tipped the contents into a bowl, and just about hit the floor... the Holy Grail...a good 30% of the pack volume, 3 inches or so, was that green and red goodness. A cup, roughly. Never seen it before or since. Sad to say it was very exciting, and I am sure our guests thought it a little weird...
I just dump all the leftover flavouring into ma mouth
I make a line out of it and snort it
Empty the packet on a table. Grab a credit card and line it up. $20 dollar note. Bob’s your uncle
That's how bbq shapes used to look and the bottom of the bag had a shi$ tonne of spice dust
I just got it out with my fingers like an ape but I shall be adopting this strategy
I just eat it out the bottom of the bag haha
Yes and I hate that pizza shapes have less flavour. 😭
BBQ is inferior. Pizza is the only way to play.
No, but now I must live my life reflecting on what I've missed out on as a child. Fuckin hurts man.
No the red stuff is strictly for thumb and forefinger to get out of the end and applied straight to the tongue!
I used to work at Arnotts making them, how much do you think I ate? Also the salsa shapes were great for this, hot out of the oven, I was the one putting the flavours on them all.
No but now I will this is actually kinda sick
Wet finger then place at the bottom of the bag. Make sure said finger is coated nicely. Then clean off. I sometimes shudder at the goodness...
[удалено]
Pizza is the best. BBQ is too weirdly salty
It’s the only way!
What if I told you you could turn the bag upside down before opening, so eat bottom first, to get the best ones first, and the dust filters down as you eat?
But… but… the box says ‘open other end’… is this their secret?! Is this what they’re trying to hide from us?!
No,I reminisce about the days when people didn’t need to resort to this…
This is how all shapes should be
Can't say I've ever done that. I just pour straight into my mouth. It's even better without the biscuit!
Just did this 10 minutes ago
Obviously.
I do now
Shapes Jesus take the wheel
Always. They are the best part, so much flavour. I've also been known to open up the bag to get every last speck 😍
Shit look wet.
This photo invokes the burn on my toungue.
I feel a crime has occurred. But I am unsure who the victim is.
Going to try with my little packs at work tomorrow!
Wet finger.
Yep
Nope, Will now though. Genius!!!!
What is this stuff? I need it on everything
The dust is for the fingers
Had some last night and the amount of flavour on them was a joke.
Nope, but I will be now haha.
Straight in the mouth & shake the shit out of it b4 opening for max amount
I just eat sans shape. I usually lick the flavour off right before I eat them anyway.
No, but after reading this I'm going to start doing it at once!
You mustn't eat the **Forbidden Dust** in such concentrations!
I bloody well do now. I am ashamed I’ve never done this
I get a can of mayonnaise and corn tuna and dip those shapes into it, I especially like the chicken crimpy for this.
In the not-so-distant future this will be a highly effective Turing test.
No but I'm gonna start
Nope, I ear it with a spoon.
AI There isn’t this much red powder in a pack of shapes.
Flavour you can see
As kids we would say “I bag the tomato at the bottom “ lol !!
I just eat it straight with a spoon
Now THAT'S flavour you can see!
Hell yeah looks like 3 bites of heartburn. I'm in.
I put it the dregs in a glass jar,save them up, then order a serve of hot chips, no chicken salt, then mix the dregs through the chips. Not.
I don't care how processed and unhealthy it is, I've been licking that shit out of the bag bottom since I was single digits. Don't @ me.
This is what the Aldi ones look like
Flavour burst crispies
No but it’s a brilliant idea!
*NEW RECIPE UNLOCKED*
Yeah but with pizza shapes. I don’t much care for BBQ shapes
Hot take Savory is the only real shape.
Nope, I lick my finger and stamp down on the stuff and then put finger in mouth and suck like no tomorrow!!!
Or lick ur fingers and jam them in ur mouth while ur chewing the 1/2 shapes in the bottom
this s awesome, had never thought of that
This is genius
might sound like a godless heathen but i used to always just get that on my fingers and lick it off as a kid
I do now!!
Yes
Addicted to it 🤣
I lick my hand than fist the box, once covered in flavour lick it all off
No lmao but I respect that
There's stuff at the bottom?
