As the snake enters your mouth you are instantly filled with anticipation. Then the subtleness of the sweetness overcomes you as the texture beckons you to swallow just one more. Show details
Snake flavour issues – I really enjoy the snakes, however almost every time I have had them I’ve only ever had 1 green, 1or2 pink, 1 purple, 8 orange and 7 yellow. Why are the best flavours barely in the packets ? This is a review aimed at nz products Show details
Unhappy customer – As a mum, we usually love the natural confectionery snake lollies, But twice now we have had snakes that are stiff and white discoluring on them, when fresh out of the packet. Very unhappy customer over this, As the price is only going up and up. From now on we will discontinue too buy these f any supermarket shelves. Show details

[Content Removed] is this – I got a sour patch kid in my fruit salad pack
Used to be good – Used to be great tasting but now feel oily,all taste similar, the big packets have shrunk yet prices go up, this is the third packet and I've had a few whole snakes, the rest have been small bits and pieces....not happy at all. The quality has gone down hill all together. Show details
I normally love these but they were not to standard they looked like they had been stamped from a tool or machine part – I normally love these but they were not to standard they looked like they had been stamped from a tool or machine part and it was a little off putting as it looked like a hole from an insect. Im sure it wasnt but never had reject lollies in my bag of soft jubes before. Show details
Love your snakes...but were are the orange snakes? – We always purchase the Snakes pack, so much that we even send these to our daughter in the US who cannot live without these. But on our last 2 purchases of the jumbo size, only found 3 orange flavoured snakes;(too many green & pink ones, not happy! Orange ones are our favourites!!!!put extra ones please. Show details

Awesome Ad, Awesome Brand! – CONGRATULATIONS on a well-designed commercial! Wonderful to see the mother buying Natural Confectionary and singing along with her daughter. Lovely also to see someone enjoying their ride in the car. Oh, the brand is awesome too. :)
Snakes with white teeth! – Just had a snake red in colour that also had white teeth. Has anyone come across this before. As a snakes fan, I am sure I have never seen this before. It was a 520 gram packet, also had a lot of bits of snakes in the pack. Look forward to hearing, have others had the same experiences with the product. Show details
Love the purple snake and new packaging – Love the purple snakes and the new packaging. The 25% reduced sugar lollies aren’t my favourite ( not as sweet as the original ) but guess I am not the target market. Show details

Happy to listen to ur concerns but hoping they do do something about the issue – After speaking to a kind young man about my concerns regarding their product. I was happy to c they were happy to take on board my concerns and am hoping they will rectify it in the future. They also kindly have said they r sending me a voucher to replace some of the lolly snakes I've purchased in the past. I was just wondering though how many… Read more
others have had the same issue as myself as I'm sure it would b quite a large number of people since my concern is that their isn't a consistency in the quality of the snakes we buy. Some r hard with white powder but others r soft and juicy. As we have been purchasing 2 pkts of the 1.1kg for quite a few months now and have found at least one in 2 or 3 to b completely different. To the point they r inedible. I very been quite disappointed since each pkt is more than $14 a pkt (according to my husband as he does the shopping as I'm old and disabled). I do hope they rectify the problem and will certainly b coming back here hopefully with a better review and outcome to the issues causing the problem with the product. But again I'd like to reiterate if u do have issues they r happy to listen to any of ur concerns.
Natural confectionery Company Snakes -weird taste – Used to love these lollies. Had one last night and had to throw out the pack. Couldn’t even eat the one I started. They were well “in” date but tasted spicy like they had chilli in them and had a of powdery coating. So weird??? Have really gone right off these Show details

No pink snakes, only 1 purple – I was absolutely appalled by the flavours in my pack today. Big fan of the product but it was all yellow, green and orange with just one purple (no pink). Everyone knows pink and purple are the favourites. Please fix this ratio. (The pack was bought out of a vending machine so I had no choice on which one I grabbed)

This ad needs to go!!! – Absolutely hate your ad with the bratty singing girl in the car with the over indulgent mother..just terrible. Does nothing to promote your product. Show details
Hate that ad – Honestly thank goodness for remote control and to be able to cut off that horrid singing girl with the even more horrid mother in the Natural Confectionery ad .. sweets tat we NO LONGER BUY!!
More expensive less in the packet ! – Sadly will no longer purchase the taste has changed and why is it packet was 160g now 130g and product more expensive ? Seems to me ingredients have changed and now trying to make more profit ! Show details
Boycotting on account of add – I will no longer purchase this product due to the abhorrent current airing advertisement of the Natural Confectionery co. (Rap music in the car).
Disrespectful tv advert – What is this advert demonstrating....how to be disrespectful to people who cannot stand loud rap/hip hop, mindless 'music'. This advert does not, in anyway entice me to purchase this product! Worse advert on TV
Ripped off the ever shrinking confectionary – The large bag of snakes used to be 500g and is now 440g and yet the price is still $5.Ripping ppl off left right and centre on all confectionary,down sizing but no adjustment to pricing.Everything is shrinking your paying for packaging and nothing else,I won't buy them again or any of the other products of any brand that is shrinking in size no… Read more
point wasting good money.I can remember when all confectionary was huge and you got your money's worth,now it's all about gouging ppl and yet even the flavour has disappeared they all taste the same.Not everyone is a fool,people do notice these things.Bye Bye TNCC
I stopped buying your products: annoying commercial – I used to buy your products all the time, and a commercial is supposed to appeal to your customers to buy products, but it's the biggest turn off. I hate the ad, the actors, the music and the product positioning.
TV ad, so annoying – That TV commercial with that obnoxious child is so annoying, every time it comes on, I mute it. And that mother turning up the volume to annoy the other motorist, is encouraging children to be rude to other adults. Get rid of it.. Show details

Disgusted within the products – I brought a party mix which was made by this company there is no fruit juice in it like aliens lollies have and the colour is so fake like the ingredients all I taste is just pure glucose sugar/ sugar I'm not even sure what they have done to the lollies after the many years but now I know why I stopped eating them cause it's just pure sickening Show details
What is that ad about..really really very annoying!! Crikey – What were you thinking when you approved that annoying ad with that young girl singing in the car and mother turning up the volume?? All it does for me is steer me away from you confectionery and want me to listen to nails being dragged across a blackboard! However I also do sing in the car with joy because I never bought you lollies because of… Read more
that irritating advert...SERIOUSLY, is it meant to say something? If it is meant to make us take notice...we did...but for all the wrong reasons. Pity you cut the bit out where the lady in the other car yelled out those words.....lol. That mother needs to be reported to child services...yes I know its only an annoying ad. Is it true both mum and daughters names are Karen??
Horrible ad – I hate that ad with the little girl singing in the car. I agree with the way the woman looks at her. I don't find the ad funny, just annoying. The little girl is being sexualised. Show details
Sloppy – These used to be very nice but I think quality has changed I think the factory may be having trouble keeping up with demand so things are being rushed. Sloppy pieces that are stuck together and mixed colours now to soft you need to be half way a bit of bite needed as well.
very poor below average music used in the TV advertising of these lollies! – Using junkey houseo new Zealand Australia rap rubbish to sell their products is complete stupidity! I will never buy these lollies now! And I'm sure others will stop buying this aswell because of the very poor below average music used in the TV advertising of these lollies! Also company is asleep at the wheel! Non responsive due to incompetence! Your lollies suck! Show details
Lollies: dialed back to dull – Everything the company makes tastes kinda weird and mild. Watery and reminiscent of cordial. It's fine, if people like it, but when you monopolise half the shelf at woolies you'd hope for it to taste better.
Only half the flavours taste good – I like the snakes, but I don't like some of the flavours. I really like the red and yellow flavoured snakes; those are my favourites. But the orange, green and purple are a little gross for my taste. I would recommend other natural confectionary company products, such as the sour snakes, those are great! Show details
Heartburn – I use to love all lollies by the natural confectionery but lately since the company started changing packaging and taste, I get heartburn every-time. Such a shame that I can't buy this brand anymore, something has changed. Show details
