Planet Lollipops: How Many Licks Does It Take to Get to the Center of the Universe?

If you ever wondered what the Sun might taste like, here is your chance. This is a set of ten handmade lollipops with encapsulated images of planetary objects in our solar system. The set includes the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and yes, even Pluto.

Each lolly has its own flavor card in the box of ten so you know what they will taste like. Earth doesn’t taste like dirt, it’s cotton candy flavored. If you are wondering solar energy tastes like, it’s marshmallow. I’d think Hot Pockets flavor would be better, if you eat one of those things you have tasted the Sun and burned your tongue half off. I don’t want to know what Uranus tastes like.

They rather remind me of the planet lollipops we talked about way back in 2012, only these ThinkGeek versions look even better. You can get the set of ten for $29.99(USD), which isn’t exactly cheap for lollipops.

Yes, Blue Cheese Lollipops Exist Now

Love lollipops? Have a taste for blue cheese? Then you’ll probably love gourmet lollipop company Lollyphile’s newest offering: blue cheese lollipops. Lollyphile is known for coming up with unusual, if not sometimes scandalous lollipop flavors, like Sriracha and Breast Milk (ewww.)

The blue cheese lollipops were only recently launched, along with a series of promotional images that can be described as downright scary. I get that they’re going with a blue theme, given that it’s blue cheese and all, but I don’t think they had to go and use Effie Trinket as their model.

Blue Cheese Lollipops

The lollipops are described as being “sharp, tasty, and edgy.” Since blue cheese is often paired with honey, it was apparently easy to combine both flavors to make the lollipop into a reality.

Lollyphile’s owner, Jason Darling, explains that the blue cheese lollipops “started off as a joke.” He adds: “I was initially scared to try them. My partner, Maria, wasn’t, and she instantly declared it to be delicious. Once I was convinced that she wasn’t pranking me I took a taste, and I had no choice but to agree with her. They’re delicious. I mean, if you like blue cheese. And who doesn’t?”

If your taste buds are up to the challenge, you can order up a batch of blue cheese lollies starting at $10(USD) over at Lollyphile.

Eye of Sauron Lollipops: Lick into My Eye!

One does not simply walk into the candy store. Though if you did, I’d hope that you and your companions would grab a batch of these spectacular lollipops that look like the Eye of Sauron.

They’re made by Etsy artist Designer Lollipop, and they’re made from isomalt, sugar, corn syrup. I’ve been told the black sugar on back is made from the souls of the dead- though they actually taste like delicious cherry.

Unfortunately, these lollies are already sold, but I’m sure you could whip up a spell to convince the candy maker to crank out another batch.
