Are adult-flavored lollipops another sign of this generation's refusal to grow up?
Who knows. But here are five lollipops developed with the grown-up palate in mind. You might like them, but your kids most likely wouldn't -- or in a couple of cases, shouldn't (absinthe for toddlers? Probably not a good idea).
Maple Bacon. With real chunks of bacon. I said, real bacon ... in your lollipop. Does the stick double as a toothpick?
Absinthe. Your kids might eat these, but you'd get arrested if they did. Made with real absinthe.
Ditto on possible Child Protective Services risk with the tequila lollipop. Yes, comes with the worm.
Sigmund Freud watermelon lollipops (too much meaning in the tasty licking, right? They don't call them "suckers" for nothing.)
Preggie pops. Mysteriously, the website selling these nausea-reducing, ginger lollipops won't tell you what's in them. But they're ginger flavored and work to combat all that early pregnancy, all day morning sickness. Do they double as pillows for frequent naps?
You need to write in and share with the class what you think of these treats/expressions of id/treatments. Because we're all curious. Especially about the bacon one.
