“Hell yes,” one person said.
Another said: Going to buy some ASAP.”
The original versions of the cookies made a splash online earlier this year when a New Zealand man revealed he always buys some when he visited Australia.
The man – who goes by the username @natnmj on TikTok – shared a video that showed him clearing the shelves of Coles Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies, titled: “POV: You’re going back to New Zealand.”
During the short video, the man can be seen loading up a trolley with boxes of the item at a Melbourne store, prompting many Aussies to ask: “Why?”
Thankfully, the Kiwis were quick to let us in on the secret, revealing the simple reason for bulk buying the biscuits.
“NZ don’t have Coles cookies or Coles and some people in NZ crave for these. So if someone goes to Australia they would always ask to bring some back,” one explained.
The brilliant video was quickly flooded with comments from fellow Kiwis who agreed they did the same.
The gluten free inclusion comes after Coles announced in January a 75 per cent sales spike for it’s ‘I’m Free From’ range since 2020.
The products, which include chocolate mint crèmes biscuits, scotch fingers and choc chip cookies, start at $3.50 a pack are and available in a range of gluten-free, nut-free and wheat-free varieties.
Coles general manager for grocery Leanne White said earlier this year: “At Coles, we’ve seen an increasing demand for gluten-free crackers, bread and biscuits in the past few years, coupled by customers adopting gluten-free products as a source of healthy food and a rise in consumption by growing awareness of food allergies and intolerance.”
