The confirmation of the stopping of Arnott’s Full O ‘Fruit comes after recently mystery around the fate of Arnott’s Chocolate Wheatens.
Debate recently broke out online among Aussie-Koekjes enthusiasts after some claimed that the currently innocence of Arnott’s Milk Chocolate Digestives were a ‘re-brand’ of the ended chocolate pigs.

A nostalgic Facebook message about Arnott’s Chocolate Wheatens (depicted) led to the debate of cookie lovers convinced that Arnott’s Milk Chocolate Digestives were the same product that was again offered


Arnott’s spokeswoman Rebecca Chan confirmed that chocolate wheat (left) had been stopped in 2017, but suggested that the digestions of milk chocolate (right) were ‘similar’
But investigating our lifestyle team proven this theory incorrectly.
The Mystery Biscuit was fueled by a recent message that was shared on the Facebook page ‘Memory Lane – Growing Up in Australia’, after one member had shared a nostalgic tribute post that their preference was for the now -defined Chocolate Wets of Arnott.
The innocent post illuminated with comments from cookie lovers – of whom many people were surprised about the popular item that was no longer available on the shelves.
But one of the reactions were also many comments that insisted that Arnott’s chocolate wheat cookies were indeed still available in stores.
“Now they are called Digestives,” claimed one reaction.
This statement that digestions of milk chocolate are a re-burned version of Arnott’s Chocolate Wheaten makes sense from their visual similarities.
Both products have a normal wheat book with hole details, while the back of the cookie in milk chocolate is immersed with a distinctive wrinkle line pattern.
Femail approached the spokesperson for an Arnott to seek clarity whether Arnott’s milk chocolate digestives were indeed a herbane replica of the original Arnott’s Chocolate Wheaten cookies.
Arnott’s Chocolate Portfolio Senior Marketing Manager Rebecca Chan set the record straight – and confirms that although the cookies are ‘comparable’, they are not actually the same.
“While the chocolate tarwe cookies from Arnott were stopped in 2017, we know that they still have a special place in the hearts of many Aussies,” said Rebecca.
“For those who crave a similar satisfactory crisis with a touch of chocolate, the digestive range of our Arnott that is available at Independent Retailers is a great alternative.”
