“Her body was like that of a human being, but her eyes were greenstone, her hair sea-kelp, her mouth was like that of a barracuda, and sharp flints of obsidian and greenstone were set between her thighs … Maui was determined to enter Hine-nui-te-po’s body, consume her heart, and then aimed to reappear from her mouth, reversing birth, so that people would be able to live forever.”

Once upon a time te reo Maori (the Maori language) was the only spoken language in New Zealand. However, these days only four percent of our entire population is able to hold a general conversation in te reo.

There is a certain room in the medical school – a large and featureless room, lit with a fluorescent glow. In this room, there are corpses laid out on trolleys, in grey body bags. They are there right now. And if you are lucky enough the get into Medicine, you will spend two years cutting, probing, and disassembling these bodies.

If we ever stop to think about it, most of us know little to nothing about homelessness. We’ve probably walked past unfortunates huddled down for the night in an alley or turned away from the guy at the bus stop asking for change. Caitlyn O’Fallon set out to find out who the homeless in Dunedin really are.

Campus Wonderful
12 items
Good selection, including sour strap (normally valued at 20c), and a variety of larger lollies. The inclusion of a Mackintosh and fizzer tube was deemed controversial by our judges. The chocolate fish, however, was well received. This selection had the smallest overall amount of loot but the best selection by far, proving quality over quantity is the best policy. 4.5/5.
Castle Street
14 items
Shit selection, mostly wine gums and pink bananas. An Eftpos fee of 20 cents on transactions under $5 made this a $1.20 mix. The milk bottles from here were worse than the Rob Roy ones, being far too chewy, and not flavoursome enough. 0.5/5.
Willowbank
13 items
Good selection of sours. This bag contained a good variety of large and smaller lollies. It was also the only mix with a jellybean and a mint lolly. 2/5.
Cumberland
16 items
Poor selection – too many quadrupled lollies, including four ‘sloppy’ pyramids. 3/5.
Rob Roy
18 items
The only bag with coke bottles, and a large range of sour lollies. Two sets of dentures was another highlight. Their copying of Noah’s strategy of providing two of every lolly was well received by the judges. 4.5/5.
Much of the $1 Mixture Review did come down to personal preference, thus making it hard to identify a clear winner. However, Rob Roy and Campus Wonderful emerged to take out an equal first, and Critic advises you to steer clear of the Castle Street dairy. Cumberland around the corner proves slightly better, and the delightful owners always provide a good yarn.
