Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Possibly the best known of all Aussie biscuits brought to you by Arnott's, is which chocolate biscuit named after the 1958 Kentucky Derby winner?

Answer: Tim Tam

A Tim Tam is "two layers of chocolate malted biscuit, separated by a light chocolate cream filling, and coated in a thin layer of textured chocolate". Introduced in 1964 and has been one of the nations "guilty pleasures" ever since. Also a vital component of the Tim Tam slam.

2. Which staple that combined with Vegemite appears in many little Aussie's lunch-boxes also forms the base for a vanilla slice recipe beloved by the Country Women's Association?

Answer: SAO

SAO- A plain cracker biscuit that is made from layered dough, a popular lunch with cheese and/or tomato also. Introduced in 1906. The vanilla slice recipe can be found at http://www.arnotts.com/recipes/SaoVanillaSlice.aspx

3. Which biscuit combined with milk was once a favourite first solid food for babies?

Answer: Milk Arrowroot

Made with arrowroot flour this remains a popular first biscuit for finger feeding.

4. What biscuit's most notable feature is the absence of eggs and the inclusion of Golden Syrup in the recipe?

Answer: ANZAC biscuit

Many Australians have long resisted all commercial forms of the ANZAC biscuit. The biscuits were made and sent by women to soldiers abroad during the First World War. The ingredients would not spoil easily and kept well during transportation. The absence of eggs is due to the wartime scarcity of eggs.

5. Which biscuit, a long time favourite at morning tea, had a unexpected increase in sales when mentioned by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd in his 2007 election victory speech?

Answer: Iced Vo Vo

An Iced Vo Vo is a biscuit topped with a strip of pink fondant either side of a strip of raspberry jam and sprinkled with coconut.
"Friends, tomorrow, the work begins...You can have a strong cup of tea if you want, even an Iced Vo-Vo on the way through. But the celebration stops there." Kevin Rudd

6. Which Cracker biscuit has fans calling for a return to the old recipe to enable the creation of 'worms'?

Answer: Vita-Weat

The common practice was to spread your two Vita-Weats with butter and Vegemite form a sandwich then squeeze together to make little Vegemite and butter "worms" through the holes in the biscuits. Now the famous holes are no longer big enough.

7. What was the first biscuit to be sold at Australian movie theatres?

Answer: Wagon Wheels

Fans insist Wagon Wheels have shrunk in size over time. The manufacturers deny this stating it is caused by the effect of objects appearing larger when we are young (not sure I agree). It consists of a biscuit sandwich with a marshmallow filling covered with chocolate.

8. Which double baked biscuit almost always requires dunking in the tea or coffee to allow you to bite it without breaking your teeth?

Answer: Ginger nut biscuit

Not to be confused with gingersnaps which are much thinner and do not present as big a threat to dentition.

9. What biscuit could be described as finger gingerbread cakes, topped with pink or white icing?

Answer: Honey Jumble

Another long time morning/afternoon tea favourite.

10. Which was the first Arnott's brand advertised on television, as the 'easy entertainer'?

Answer: Jatz

Due to its common usage to indicate all crackers and the Australian tendency to use rhyming slang, Jatz cracker has become a entry into the urban dictionary. As this may offend some I will ask you to check entry for yourself.
