Arnott's teeVee snacks Malt Sticks

Arnott's teeVee snacks Malt Sticks are a quintessential Australian treat, originally developed and popularized in the Australian market. The 'teeVee snacks' line has a long history, with its roots tracing back to Guest's Biscuits, a company founded by Thomas Bibby Guest in Sydney in the mid-19th century. Guest's Biscuits officially introduced teeVee snacks in the 1950s/60s, a period coinciding with the rise of television sets in Australian homes, hence the name.

Following a series of mergers, Guest’s became part of Arnott’s in the 1960s. The brand remains a household name in Australia, primarily manufactured at Arnott's production facilities within the country, such as those in Sydney, Brisbane, and Adelaide. While Arnott's was famously acquired by the American food giant Campbell Soup Company in 1997—a move that sparked significant national debate—it was later sold to another American entity, the private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR), in late 2019.

Today, the brand is managed under The Arnott’s Group, which continues to uphold its heritage as an Australian icon while operating under the global portfolio of KKR. The products are widely recognized for their malted biscuit center and smooth chocolate coating, remaining a favorite for casual snacking across the Asia-Pacific region.
