What’s Up with the Zoo Biscuit Animals?
Walking down the biscuits and cereal aisle at Spar can be a painful experience for me. Inner Monologue: Should I get the Zoo biscuits, shouldn’t I get the Zoo biscuits. Should I, shouldn’t I? Yes No Yes No Yes….No! But it’s just one little treat. No I’m going to get fat. Uggh, bugger it, what’s an extra kg.
So I bought some Zoo’s the other day and I was completely horrified at the state of my little iced animals. The Monkey looked like a jellyfish and the Buck like a boomerang. What has happened to them? They were either off-centre or unrecognisable. The animals actually look quite scary..maybe they should call them Boo! Biscuits (sorry couldn’t help it). Seriously, these animals used to be so perfect, and lately they’ve just become big white scary splotches. What’s up Mr. Baker man?
Watsssit?
I had such a good laugh at this. It’s true! I suggest Mr. Baker get back go the drawing board – this will cause our kids to have nightmares!
Oh I love the taste of those Zoo biscuits!
I also noticed the disappearance of shape lately. It could be that you are eating too much of them and they need to replenish stock at a fast rate by just squeezing some white icing on in a quick flash – hehe.
No seriously, I agree, the standard is very bad. The rectangular colour areas are off centre and the figures very abstract replications of animals. It didn’t use to be like that and why should we forfeit quality and standard if a packet of Zoo biscuits costs a pretty penny these days. I think you ought to complain to Mr Bakerman.
To be honest, the top picture (blue Zoo biscuit) looks like a drooling poodle – maybe they want to be more creative – hehe!
The animals are so scary that the packet should have an age restriction. Hee heee! Well i’m glad it’s not just me thinking that the shapes were going a bit wonky!
You ladies must be blind, that is clearly a Duck-Billed Platypuss (a male one) in full flight………
Profit killed the zoo biscuit
Aaaah the Duck-Billed Platypuss, I should’ve known!
ooz biscuits?

[schure that schould be an animal of a schort ... ]
Ok it was a long day …
DBP! No way..
That is quite clearly the monster from under the bed…
Lol:) I can see my three year old now…
** Ooz biscuits the cookie that might eat you **
Heh heh heh heh! LOVE the tagline! LOL!
I noticed this a month or two back as well, really dissapointing, because it says so much about industry and the race to produce quantity over quality!
I know. Well at least they still taste the same and we can have fun trying to guess what the animals are!
Umm, and here I was thinking the biscuit decorator guy just sneezed at an improper time.
He’s been sneezing a lot lately. He must have sinusitis-permanentis. hee hee, sorry its been a long week!
I use zoo biscuites to create art. I baught 3 packets but only managed to get about 4 useable biscuits out of those packets. What happned to the pictures that were on the back?
I like to lick the animals off.
I thought that you were going to say that you could only use 4 biscuits because you devoured the rest.
We like to like the animals off too!
I think that they DO actually make perfect Zoo biscuits. They just sell them to other countries, and then there is nothing left to give us but the rejects! Just like our fruit – do we get first class oranges, apples or bananas sold in SA anymore?
Hmm, what a lovely reason to go globe trotting – searching for the 1st class Zoo Biscuits…
If you do go and travel in pursuit of finding the perfect zoo biscuit please a.) take a picture of the perfect zoo biscuit when you find it, we’d love to see it b.) Come back to SA when you’re done travelling!
I totally noticed this ! i was just laughing about it with my friend the other day. We were very confused. But they still taste amazing!
I know, who cares what they look like as long as they taste good ey?
I had completely forgotten these delightful treats existed. Although looking at them as an adult I am horrified my parents let me eat so much sugar and food colouring. Jeez, what were they thinking?
