Gaint Swirl Lollipops.
I made a post about jumbo jawbreakers yesterday and somehow my brain jumped to these suckers (pun intended) right here.
Giant Lollipops. The kind with the rainbow swirls…
There are two predominant varieties. Your classic swirly disc and the unicorn horn…shape..thing. The latter, can double as a weapon.
Almost exclusively found in candy stores and other novelty shops, their visual appeal is pretty undeniable.
However…I’ve never liked eating them. The taste is usually too “tuti fruitti” for me, and the process of eating them is fucking hard. It’s the same as eating a jumbo jaw breakers from a process standpoint. It’s tedious, it’s slobbery, and it’s not something you can polish off in one sitting. If you are unwise enough to try to break pieces off with your teeth, and are successful, that shit will stick to your molars like nobody’s business.
But also….
As a kid I thought these things were the royalty of candy. There was this weird Hallmark like shop in a tiny little mall my family used to go to when I was young. The mall also had a Chuck E. Cheese in it where we’d go for bday parties and stuff, and we’d always get to hit up the little shop before we went home. These outings were the few times a year I had access to these and other “rare” candy and I’d always include both types of giant lollipops in my haul.
So I’m being kind of contradictory….
Chime in with your thoughts please!
