It Sucks! National Lollipop Day!

July 20th 2009 15:23


Suck on this: It's national Lollipop Day. And as luck with have it, sugar on a stick has an apocryphal history. Like anything sweet and very bad for you, more than one person claims to have invented it but there is supposedly only one patent on the name. One George Smith claimed to have named sugar on a stick after a horse. However some point out that lolly means tongue and that writers years before spoke of something like stick candy.




The storied history of Lollypops

Some folks insist on sticking disgusting things on the end of a stick and putting the whole contraption in their mouths:


Suck on this (You know I think that duck was using his liver...)


Sweet, sweet history

I am really remiss. I really should have checked who is giving out the free candy--if anyone is.

Well there's always Dick Cheney's birthday. Whoops, I meant Halloween.

Win free candy!


Free samples!


Free Candy giveaway


More free sweets






In my view, a gentleman never refuses a lady's request for a free sucker.


Lollies and Hershey's Kisses!
