Jack Grimsley composed this jingle for Brockhoff Chocolate Biscuits.

Brockhoff Biscuits was a Melbourne-based company founded in 1880. In the 1950s it combined with Arnott’s and Guest’s to compete with American-owned Nabisco, which had entered the Australian market.

The combined company became Arnott’s Biscuits in 1966 and the Brockhoff name disappeared from supermarket shelves over the next few years.
