Aussie lolly brand reveals massive remake for the 'worst' lolly flavour! Find out which one

For many Australians, diving into a bag of Allen's Snakes Alive is a nostalgic treat that brings people back to their childhood.

Yet, not all memories are sweet, especially when it comes to flavours, which have long been the subject of debate.

Hold onto your hats, sweet-toothed seniors, because Allen's has announced an update to this classic confectionery mix!


Allen's Snake Alive has the infamous orange snake, which has been the black sheep of the Snakes Alive family.

For years, this particular lolly has been left at the bottom of the bag.

Many Aussies have mistakenly believed it to be orange-flavoured, only to discover its true identity.

The revelation, brought to light by comedian and lolly connoisseur Tanya Hennessey, has been nothing short of a candy-coated controversy.

'You know the orange Allen's Snake? What do you think the flavour is? Orange, right?' Hennessey asked in the video.

'No, the flavour is actually apricot. What?' she shared, prompting a cascade of reactions from the public.


'I'm questioning my entire life,' an Allen's Snakes Alive fan wrote.

'This means my whole childhood is a lie,' another commented.

In light of the recent news, Allen's immediately heeded the call for change.

The confectionery giant decided to retire the apricot-flavoured snake, which should be replaced with a new flavour.

The new flavour is still under wraps and should be revealed on 1 March.

Tanya Hennessey, who fittingly led the taste test in the town of Orange, shared her excitement about the mystery flavour.


'After tasting a new flavour, I can't wait to see what my fellow lolly lovers think and hope they love it as much as I do!' Hennessey exclaimed.

For sweet tooths who want a glimpse of the new flavour, Allen's released 150 limited-edition Snakes Alive bags featuring the new flavour.

This should give fans across the country a chance to be among the first to sample the revamped sweet.

As Aussies await the sweet revelation, everyone is wondering if the new flavour will slither its way into sweet tooths' hearts.

One thing is for sure: the lolly landscape is about to get a whole lot more interesting.

I jest eat em all no particular flavour at a time I just make sure I get my share. New flavour might be mango…. That always seems to be a hit
 
I saw a doco only this last week- an Allen's factory- yellow are pineapple, green are lemon, and yes orange apricot.
So did I. I was also horrified at the amount of sugar used as you sort of ignore it but being confronted with it was astounding. No more snakes for me, not even my favourite red ones.
 
FYI: ABC has a doco on how lollies are made and covers Allens Snakes Alive indepth ....
