The Green Party co-leader loves them and said the ones in Dunedin were hard to beat.
But her brief visit was not all play.
She was here to visit University of Otago students, meet the public in the Octagon, and attend a public meeting at the Otago Museum about the party’s poverty action plan.
In response to the Labour Party’s climate emissions reduction plan, Ms Davidson said it was "really good and encouraging", but it also showed why the Greens were needed.
"What I noticed about their announcement was, they talked about the work that the Greens have achieved, such as the zero carbon legislation, the end to new and off-shore oil and gas exploration, getting climate back into the RMA (Resource Management Act), and getting farming back into the ETS (emissions trading scheme).
"It’s why people need to see the Greens in government. Our plans will go even further and faster."
She said Labour planned to stop the installation of new coal burners, but the Greens were already going further by ripping the old ones out of schools and hospitals.
She said the Greens also had a much broader transport plan which aimed to make more public transport available, move away from super highways, and support more people to get cleaner cars with the party’s clean car discount.
"We are also going further and faster with our climate plan. For example, we’ll put solar panels on to people’s roofs and support more subsidies for people to have clean energy in their homes."
While she was pleased to see Labour promising more research for agricultural emissions, she said the Greens wanted to proactively reduce emissions in farming by reducing and cutting out synthetic fertilisers.
Ms Davidson said the polls were "encouraging" and she was enjoying the high amount of support from people in the streets yesterday.
"But we’ve got a big job ahead. We’re not resting on our laurels.
"We want to show people that we’ll work productively with a Labour-led government, and we’ll also ensure stronger action on climate change, biodiversity and inequality."
