Anyway, the old Air NZ lolly/candy/sweet has bitten the dust, as the supplier has shut down the manufacturing plant in NZ and moved it offshore. NZ decided to switch to a new supplier to support Kiwi-made (I forget their name but they're a much smaller concern than the previous lot). Until they've produced a suitable quantity of stock for the various catering warehouses around the world, the temporary lolly is being used.
