10 Weird Lolly Rituals Only Aussies Will Understand

Sweet, sweet memories.

1. Trying to tie a snake into a knot using just your tongue.

If you could manage it, it meant you were a good kisser.

2. Separating the strawberries from the cream.

Everyone knows it taste better if you eat the strawberry part first.

3. Painstakingly tearing up a Minties wrapper into one long continuous piece.

It was always a competition to see who could make it the longest.

4. Removing the heads from jelly babies.

And switching them to create different flavour concoctions.

5. Sifting through a packet of frogs and eating all the red ones.

Then leaving all the other colours for some unlucky soul.

6. Putting lolly teeth in your mouth and pretending you were an old person with dentures.

A classic gag.

7. Seeing how far you could stretch a snake before it broke.

Or before you got too hungry and ate it.

8. Throwing Jaffas at the cinema screen.

While sitting in the back row, of course. You rebel.

9. Strategically choosing the Killer Python with the most red segments.

You’d be silly not to.

10. Meticulously flattening out Fantales wrappers so you could do the “Who am I?” trivia.

The most educational of all lollies.
