Ah, Goody Goody Gum Drops.
As a kid standing in front of the freezer display at the dairy, life was full of tough choices. The most pressing among them: ice cream or lollies?
Goody Goody Gum Drops was the holy grail of treats because it meant you didn’t have to choose. It was a sugary loophole. You got the creamy, cooling comfort of ice cream delightfully studded with chewy, fruity surprises.
If you grew up treating yourself at the local dairy, you know exactly why this flavour holds such a special place in our hearts.
And now, that iconic Kiwi classic has been reimagined in a way that will make your inner child leap for joy.
Today, officially, the legendary chocolate makers at Whittaker’s have tapped directly into that collective nostalgia with their new Gum drop block. Made with their creamy White Chocolate, combined with bubble gum flavour and chewy gumdrops, the block certainly delivers on nostalgia.
The big question though, have they delivered enough gumdrops? We all remember the ultimate betrayal of only two or three goody goody gum drops hidden in the ice cream.
We can confirm, they certainly have. Some squares of chocolate are barely held together for too many gum drops. While some are a little sparse, overall there is a good ratio.
So go ahead, treat yourself, and enjoy a bubblegum square of gumdrop goodness.
