Ghost Drops (Single)

Ghost Drops are the colour-changing hard lolly that owned Aussie lunchboxes for a whole generation. Sold here as individual pieces, each Ghost Drop is a classic boiled fruit candy with one unforgettable gimmick — the colour on the wrapper ends up on your tongue. Red wrapper, red tongue. Green wrapper, green tongue. It’s the playground magic trick that turned these individually-wrapped “drop ghost” lollies into a break-time currency, and they’re exactly as fun to hand out at today’s parties, treat bags and Christmas stockings as they were in the 90s. Grab one per kid, or stack them up for a full novelty haul.

What’s in a Single Unit

One Ghost Drop is exactly what it sounds like: a single individually-wrapped hard candy in a colour-coded wrapper. Flavours are typically drawn from a four-colour range including red, green, yellow and purple, each with a matching fruit flavour profile. Buying singles makes Ghost Drops perfect for loot bags and piñatas where you want to mix a handful of novelty lollies without committing to a full pack of one flavour.

Taste & Texture

Classic boiled hard candy — glossy, long-lasting and sweet rather than sour. Flavours lean towards the bright, slightly artificial fruit profile that defines retro Aussie lollies: think strawberry, lime, lemon-pineapple and grape. Texture holds together for a good five to ten minutes of sucking, which is what gives the food-colouring time to work its magic on the tongue for the all-important reveal.

Perfect For

Kids’ party loot bags: drop one into each bag as a guaranteed conversation piece.
Class party favours: mix all four colours for a proper tongue-reveal game.
Piñatas and lolly scrambles: bright wrappers stand out in the confetti.
Christmas stocking fillers: a nostalgic hit for Aussie parents buying for Aussie kids.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a Ghost Drop change your tongue colour?

The lolly contains a food-grade colour matched to the wrapper. As you suck the Ghost Drop, the colour transfers to your tongue, giving you a temporary bright-coloured tongue that lasts for a few hours and washes off naturally.

What flavours and colours are available?

Ghost Drops come in a four-colour range — typically red, green, yellow and purple — each with a matching fruit flavour such as strawberry, lime, lemon-pineapple and grape. You can’t pick specific colours on single units; stock is shipped in a mixed assortment.

Are Ghost Drops sour or spicy?

Neither — Ghost Drops are a classic sweet fruit hard candy, not a sour candy or a chilli candy. If you’re after sour, have a look at our sour candy range instead.

Is the tongue-colour food-safe?

Yes — the colour used is a standard food-grade colouring (common E-numbers such as 129, 102 and 133 on the ingredient list). It’s the same family of colour used in many mainstream sweets. The tongue colour fades naturally within a few hours.

Do Ghost Drops contain any allergens?

The core ingredients are sugar, corn syrup, flavour and colour. The packaging may state “may contain traces of tree nuts and nuts” because of shared-line manufacturing — always check the wrapper if you have a nut allergy.
