Geocache Description:


M&M's LoLLY ScRaMbLe
A weekend drive in the country led to the idea of a trail here, and the theme was inspired by The Lolly Bag Loop caches by Too Dogs in NSW Australia, who created a loop of favourite lollies from childhood.

A Lolly Scramble is a common Kiwi and Australian phrase which refers to the act where a mixture of lollies (candies) are scattered and children scramble to get their share. We think we’ve put out a good selection of favourites and are sure you’ll find something you like in M&M's lolly scramble.

Pink Smokers
Although smokers are pink in colour, they aren't just for girls!
These tiny little pink lollies were good for eating in the car when on a long journey, or for enjoying while reading a good book. There always seemed plenty to share with friends too.

Mayceys Pink Smokers have been a New Zealand classic since 1930, using 'Grandpa's Recipe' of  clove, musk and aniseed in a sweet sugary base, then pressed into an iconic tiny pink cylinder shape. Still being produced by Maceys, four generations of the family later. 
A favourite for so many reasons... and time that they were returned to the Lolly Scramble.
