In general tho- lollie selection at the supermarket is just awful - average. Natural confection Co. are massively overrated imo. Allen's just seems to be culling their entire selection ffs.
As a country we need to do better with lollies. Its woeful.
We always get minties on a roadtrip for some reason, I never eat them otherwise. But when I do, I love 'em

They were British iirc. Hard lolly. They were delicious.
ALDI in England have something similar, they're good too but not sold here
I don't like Minties's at all but thought almost all other people do.

I think the life saver brand lollies are pretty good, I like the raspberry sherbet stix and the blackcurrant pastilles. They've got bubblegum sherbet stix which I'm also partial to, but undecided at this stage if I like them more than the raspberry ones.

I like the natural confectionery company stuff too. I have a huge sweet tooth, but even with that in mind, the cost of a bag of lollies (or chips, or chocolate for that matter) at the supermarket these days seems insane. So I basically get whatever happens to be 40-50% off that week at woolies and if there isn't anything that's reduced, I just don't get anything.

Was going to go to the new lolly shop over at Highpoint but got put off by the reviews. Apparently everything costs an absolute fortune and the place doesnt even have prices on everything.
Allens party or retro mix.
Natural confectionery are the povo version.

I think confectionery companies know about a chink in our armor: that we are powerless to resist any 'nostalgia' lollies from when we were growing up, if/when they get reissued. What... double dips are back? Better get 20 of them. https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/241113/swizzels-double-dip-orange-cherry

Putting a cup/mug in the fridge or freezer before drinking out of it on a warm day. Bloody great.
No love for a dusted jelly baby.
Very hard to find now, but a personal favourite

Mintie hunts were always good fun.

I was at the supermarket this morning, and ended up helping to wrangle a dog who'd broken free while its owner was inside. It's one of life's underrated annoyances, is what you do with your dog when you're in the shop.
It made me think back to my trip of southern Africa, where a 3rd world economy devoid of welfare requires people to invent all sorts of creative jobs.
Why hasn't a 14 year old kid thought to spend their summer holidays waiting at the supermarket and providing "short term dog minding" - ie. charge 5 bucks to hold onto someone's dog for 15 minutes while they're inside. I'd pay that every time.
Not a "million dollar idea", but if you can normalise it at a particular shopping centre so that everyone pays the 5 bucks rather than just tying their dog up, I feel like it's maybe a "PS5-dollars idea." There's always at least 1-2 dogs tied up outside my local Woolworths.
