Nostalgic Lollies Every Aussie 90s Kid Will Remember

Remember the thrill of walking into the corner shop with a gold coin and walking out with a paper bag full of lollies? If you grew up in Australia in the 90s, chances are your childhood was fuelled by sherbet, chewy bars, and a whole lot of sugar.

Let’s take a stroll down memory lane and rediscover the iconic sweets that defined a generation.

🍬 Red Skins

Sticky, chewy, and notorious for pulling out loose baby teeth. Red Skins (now rebranded but forever iconic) were a rite of passage for Aussie kids.

Try: Nostalgic Classic Box — packed with retro faves like Red Skins, Sherbies, Milkos and more.

💣 Sherbet Bombs

Pop one in your mouth and wait for the fizzy surprise. These were always a playground favourite, especially during dare challenges.

You'll find them in our Nostalgic Showbag Gift Box.

🌈 Wizz Fizz

The ultimate sugar hit in a sachet. Wizz Fizz wasn’t just a lolly — it was a lifestyle. Bonus points if you poured the whole thing straight into your mouth.

🍭 Zappos & Warheads

Zappos were the ultimate after-school treat — stretchy, tangy, and often traded at lunch. Warheads, on the other hand, were a badge of honour. If you could handle the sour, you earned respect.

🎪 Sherbies, Milkos & Cobbers

The chewy trio we all knew and loved. Whether you loved the caramel hit of a Cobber or the creamy Milko pull, these lollies were front and centre at every tuckshop counter.

🔥 Fads (Candy Cigarettes)

Once the coolest accessory in the schoolyard. Pretending to be grown-up while chomping on a chalky stick of sugar? Iconic.

💥 Pop Rocks

A party in your mouth — literally. These popping candies gave you a crackling surprise that never got old.

💘 Love Hearts

Sweet and slightly chalky with those classic pastel messages like "Be Mine" and "Hug Me" — the original lolly flirtation tool.

🐞 Bertie Beetles

Chocolate, honeycomb, and budget-friendly brilliance. Every showbag worth its salt had one (or three).

⚽ Ovalteenies

Half lolly, half vitamin, all Aussie nostalgia. These malty round discs were weirdly satisfying and totally addictive.

Why We Still Love Them

Nostalgic lollies aren’t just sweets — they’re memories. They take us back to bike rides, school bags, and corner shops with creaky floors. And now, thanks to curated boxes, you can relive the magic (or introduce your kids to it).
