So, I have this thing about lolly/chocolate shops. Whenever I visit new towns, I always like to see if they have a lolly shop, as I love going to all different ones and trying different things. One thing I love getting is pick & mix lollies, which is picking the lollies yourself and making up your own bag/container. There are only 3 lolly shops I know of in my State that have this, and all of them are a bit of a drive away.
A little while ago while in lockdown, I decided to have a look online if there were any online ‘pick & mix’ lolly companies, and I found one, You Pick, We Mix. This is not an ad at all, I just wanted to review the product and my experience! They have a shop in Melbourne, and in the UK.
I ordered a 1kg bag, and with this, you can choose up to 10 different lollies/chocolates to have in there. So 100g of each pick. The bag is $24.99. They also have 2kg bags, and also the same sized bags but they pick the lollies for you.
I got the 1kg of pick & mix just to try it out. Postage to my house was also $8. In total it cost $32.99. It is a little expensive, but I really wanted to try it! When it arrived, I poured all the lollies into a container and there were SO MANY! I was pleasantly surprised and happy.
The quality of the lollies is SO good, and I will definitely be re-purchasing, as a treat. The lollies you have to choose from are:
- Bananas
- Coconut Rough
- Choc Snowies
- Chocolate Raisins
- Cola Bottles
- Dusted Jelly Babies
- False Teeth
- Fizzy Cola Bottles
- Flying Saucers
- Fried Eggs
- Fruit Rock
- Fruity Frogs
- Gumballs
- Gummy Bears
- Gummy Lips
- Jelly Babies
- Jelly Beans
- Jelly Snakes
- Liquorice Allsorts
- Liquorice Bullets
- Marshmallows
- M&M’s/Choc Buttons
- Milk Bottles
- Pineapples
- Red Frogs
- Raspberries
- Sour Belts
- Sour Worms
- Sour Peach Hearts
- Spearment Leaves
- Strawberries & Cream
- Watermelon Slices
- White Choc Snowies
- Wine Gums
- Choc Honeycomb
The ones I got in my mix are:
- Choc Snowies
- Dusted Jelly Babies
- Fizzy Cola Bottles
- Gummy Bears
- Jelly Snakes
- M&M’s/Choc Buttons
- Milk Bottles
- Sour Belts
- Strawberries & Cream
- White Choc Snowies
When I make my next order I will definitely be trying out more types of lollies! It was probably the best thing I ordered during lockdown, I have no regrets whatsoever.
Update: I ended up ordering another bag, opps! 🤣
Thank you for checking out my post all about pick & mix!
