Poll: Which sweet treat is your pick?

Last Monday the leading story on our Stuff website was Whittaker's revival of the toffee milk chocolate bar.
This had us asking what sweet treats people would like to see returned next and what prized New Zealand lollies may have their production shifted overseas?

My family's favourite is the chocolate fish.
At Christmas and birthdays packets of the pink marshmallow shaped sea creatures appear for dessert, but also a variety of family challenges. These include holding the chocolate fish between the top lip and nose, like a melting moustache.
It was also the prize for player of the day during my school hockey days. If the versatile and much loved fish disappeared we would be crushed.

After much consideration I think the discontinued lolly I would like to see returned is pink Sparkles.
My father has thrown his weight behind the sickly sweet Dream white chocolate creme eggs which tasted like tinned condensed milk.

What would you like to see returned? Let us know below...

Havelock public Loos

Sonia from Parkvale

Had to unfortunately use the public loos in Havelock today, and YET again was disgusted with the state of them. The walls were filthy and the loo itself was vomit inducing.

The walls were filthy and the loo itself was vomit inducing. There was brown matter on one wall, that really didn't look fresh. I realize public toilets don't come with a bathroom concereige, cologne and breath mints but surely a general level of cleanliness could be expected. I know today would have been a busy day, but every single time I have used these toilets I have been REVOLTED! Most other public loos are much cleaner and even service station toilets rate far above! 👎

In some parks and reserves the damage has been so great that it is taking a team of nine four days to clean up. Our people plus contractors are working extended hours to get things back to normal and we ask for your patience as we battle through it. About 80 per cent of Council's 170 green spaces were affected which gives an idea of the task. For much more info see: www.hastingsdc.govt.nz...
