I wonder exactly who invented lollipops, and who decided to name it a "lollipop". I suppose it is a pretty good name....I mean, they could have named it "artificially flavoured corn-syrup on a white stick", or something like that. That would mean particularly bad advertising, once the world figured out what corn syrup was.
"Ma, can I go buy one of those artifically flavoured corn-syrup balls on a white stick? Wait, but they're not that unhealthy!"
I used to love sucking on those big lollipops, but then later on I decided that they tasted way too artificial, and I would rather have ice-cream for dessert, instead of a dyed blob of processed sugar.
Occasionally I will grab a small one from the candy jar at the bank, if my mom doesn't notice me. Lollipops kind of leave a funny taste in your mouth, and you're always prone to brushing your teeth immediately after devouring one, because they taste like they'll turn your teeth to cavity-filled ashes within a few seconds.
As long as we're talking about lollipops, I might as well mention a few other types of candies.
One of my favorite types of hard candies is Jolly Ranchers. Even though they taste awfully unhealthy (although there isn't a healthy candy that exists), they're still deliciously unbeatable. I really like the cherry and apple Jolly Ranchers.
I also love chocolate. I've developed a liking for dark chocolate, but I still like Kit-Kats and Snicker Bars, and especially Hershey's chocolate.
Hmm.....I guess this'll be it for this particular post on candy. I'm sure there'll be many more to come. Well....perhaps. Probably.

Why, oh why, is there zero comments EVERYWHERE??
See....now I have to resort to talking to myself. How brutal. How utterly embarassing.
I kind of like lollipops. I like the ones with chocolate in the middle, but I really love Blow-Pops, where there is bubble gum in the middle. At the bank, i always try and get the yellow lollipops.
See, now there is two more comments.
