There's a lolly for every memory, and for a lot of us, Mayceys is where those memories start.
We hear it from customers all the time: a bag of Mayceys lollies takes them straight back to the dairy counter, a school lunchbox, or a nan's lolly jar that never seemed to run out. We've packed thousands of these orders ourselves, so we've got a good feel for which bags disappear fastest and why.
Here are ten we think deserve a spot in your cupboard!
A Sweet Kiwi Classic Since 1875
Mayceys has been part of New Zealand's lolly story for almost 150 years. Joseph Stacey founded the brand on Queen Street in Auckland back in 1875, and it grew into a beloved Newmarket name by the 1920s. By the 1930s, Mayceys had built a reputation for quality sweets and clever countlines, several of which are still in our range today.
A lolly doesn't stay this popular for over a century by accident. It earns its place bag by bag, generation after generation, through flavours that taste exactly as good as customers remember!
10 Mayceys Lollies Favourites Worth Stocking Up On
1. Mayceys Sour Fruits Mix
A punchy, tangy blend of grape, strawberry, apple, peach and feijoa, all in one bag. Our top seller for anyone who can't pick just one flavour, and a regular pick for party bowls.
2. Mayceys Crocodiles
Chewy and fruity with a playful shape, always the first to disappear from a shared bowl at work or a lolly scramble.
3. Mighty Mayceys Lolly Mix
A generous spread of Mayceys classics in one bag, handy for filling an office jar or a party bowl fast without ordering five separate flavours.
4. Gloharts
Fizzy, chewy, and bursting with old-school flavour, barely changed since they first hit shelves decades ago. You either love them or hate them, with their distinct cinnamon flavour.
5. Sour Feijoas
Our Mayceys Feijoa lollies deliver that unmistakable Kiwi tang in soft, sour-coated form, and they sell out fastest each summer when feijoas are ripe on the tree.
6. Raspberry Drops
Hard-boiled and richly berry-flavoured, straight out of the lolly jars we all remember from childhood, meant to be sucked slowly rather than crunched.
7. Blue Raspberry Razzoos
Those chewy blue raspberry flavoured sticks that give you a sore jaw after chewing them. Similar to Red Rippers (or as we know them, Red Skins), but a New Zealand made variant. Sharp, sweet, and responsible for more blue tongues at school pick-up than any teacher would like to admit.
8. Orange Chocolate Fish
A rich New Zealand made chocolate with a touch of orange flavour, giving a delicious mix of orange and chocolate. Our chocolate-dipped twist on the classic Kiwi fish shape — rich, a little indulgent, and popular with anyone after something less sour.
9. Black Balls
A bold peppermint-aniseed flavour that regulars order again and again, month after month, usually in bulk once they've found us.
10. Fruit Jubes
Soft, chewy, and dusted in sugar, the kind of throwback treat you rationed between friends as a kid and still crave as an adult.
When a Bag of Mayceys Lollies Comes in Handy
We see the same few reasons pop up again and again when customers order Mayceys lollies from us.
Parents grab a mixed bag for school lunchboxes or a lolly bowl at a birthday party. Office managers order in bulk for a Friday shout or a morning tea that needs a bit of a lift. Kiwis living overseas send a care package home to family, or order one for themselves when a taste of home is overdue. Road trips call for a shared bag in the glovebox, and plenty of customers simply keep a jar on the bench because that's what their own parents did. Wherever your bag ends up, it's the same flavours doing the work!
