Mini Story

An iconic piece of Australian breakfast history.

This Weet-Bix tin was issued as a modern commemorative item, faithfully reproducing the bold 1931 “The Health Biscuit” design that helped cement Weet-Bix as a household staple. Featuring classic typography, wheat imagery, and early advertising slogans, it’s a nostalgic display piece that looks right at home in a retro kitchen, pantry, or Australiana collection.
