Members, we know you like a good story or piece of trivia that's worth sharing with your friends and family over afternoon tea or a weekend BBQ, and we think this one will be right up your alley for a fun conversation starter.
Remember those delicious Allen’s snake lollies we have all indulged in at some point over the years? Well, it turns out there's a mind-boggling secret about these chewy lollies that has everyone talking.
Recently, a mum shared a video on social media, revealing that the popular Allen's Snakes Alive lollies earned their name in an oddly fascinating way. After what many have described as a 'mind-blowing' reveal, you may never look at these lollies the same way again!
'There is a reason why Snakes Alive lollies are called Snakes Alive,' she said in the video.
According to the clever mum, also known by her handle social media @cyansocial, it all comes down to a simple trick: If you properly stretch and bunch a few of these lollies together, then open your hand, the snakes will appear to 'move' around as if they were alive.
'Before they go out into the market, they need to be stretched so that when you bunch a couple of them together and open up your hand, they move as if they are alive,' the mum explained.
Upon sharing the snake squishing trick on camera, she exclaimed, 'They do! Look!' As we watched the video of the tiny wiggling lollies, we couldn't help but be amazed at the incredible hidden detail we never knew about.
'I have been eating these for years and had no idea,' she admitted.
Fellow Aussies were eager to weigh in on this newfound knowledge. Responses have ranged from surprise and delight to utter disbelief. 'Mind blown,' said one. Another wrote: 'I had no idea.' A third user commented: 'Woah. Okay, that's bl**** awesome.'
Even Allen's Lollies' official social media account jumped into the conversation, adding a playful comment with two mischievous emojis. They cleverly avoided confirming or denying the intriguing random fact about the beloved treat.
However, the mum, fueled by curiosity, threw a delicious curveball: 'I'm game for trying new ranges, but I must know, how did the Killer pythons get their name?'
For our members who enjoy their sweets and have a flair for the whimsical, give this trick a try and see if any young ones in your family get spooked by the seemingly 'alive' creatures in your hands. It's sure to bring a giggle and a story to share with family and friends.
Remember to remind your grandchildren that while it's fun to play with the snakes, it's even more delightful to enjoy the flavoursome lollies when they've had their time squirming around in their hands.
The process of making Allen's Snakes Alive lollies has long been shrouded in mystery, with the secret behind their lifelike slithering only recently revealed. It turns out that the process begins long before the lollies hit the shelves - and it is a surprisingly laborious process.
The lollies start their life at Allen's factory in Australia, where the secret ingredients are blended and heated into a thick liquid before the addition of natural flavours. Each flavouring is added manually before the snake shape is moulded.
What makes the snakes come alive, however, is the fact that every single lolly is then hand-stretched while still hot in order to give them their unique lifelike curves. This process makes the lollies animated when bunched together and opened, with the snakes continuing to 'move' around in the hand after being stretched.
After these secret steps, the Snakes Alive lollies are carefully inspected, then packaged and sent off to stores around the country for all of us to eat.
It's no surprise that this surprising step is often missed by customers - and after experiencing it first-hand, it's easy to see why Allen's Snakes Alive keep us coming back for more.
It's funny how there can be hidden tales behind our favourite snacks, just waiting to be discovered! So, let's dig deeper and share the excitement. What do you think of this surprising revelation?
And do you happen to know any other fascinating 'secrets' about popular treats that are lurking beneath the surface? Don't keep them to yourself—join the discussion in the comments and enlighten us all!
