Lollies
Order lollies online!
When it comes to lollies, we all have our favourites! There’s classics like bananas, teeth, spearmint leaves, red and green frogs, and who could forget the cola bottle varieties. Gummy bears are as popular as ever, as are sour worms. Wonka Nerds, Ghost Drops and Warheads are best-sellers.
In recent years, gummis from Starburst and the The Natural Confectionery Co. have become the mainstream, and are usually an easy choice for any party or social gathering. Marshmallows, licorice and other confectionery types are still popular also. In recent decades, Australian production has concentrated among Nestlé (Allens, Wonka), Mars (Wrigley, Starburst) and Mondelez International (Cadbury, Pascall, The Natural Confectionery Co.). Darrell Lea floundered financially in 2012, but was quickly rescued by the owners of VIP Petfoods; Darrell Lea is a household name for chocolates and licorice.
Mainstream varieties are great, but sometimes there’s nothing better than good old-fashioned English lollies or less common varieties. For these, you really need to turn to some of the smaller, boutique confectioners. Many have online stores, where you can find something new and order something unique and special for your next social or corporate occasion. Three great online lolly shops: Goody Goody Gumdrops, Tom’s Confectionery Warehouse and The Biggest Lollie Shop in the World.
