I rode the MARC train to work on Thursday. It was the day after Halloween, so they had a little bowl of lollipops by the cash register. I took one with red printing on the wrapper, because I usually like cherry and strawberry flavors the best.

This evening I found the lollipop in my jacket pocket and unwrapped it. The actual lollipop was yellow, not red, so I figured it must be lemon or something.

It was not.

Buttered popcorn flavor.

I know about the Jelly Bellies. I think I had one once, and forever more inspected my Jelly Bellies very carefully.

The lollipop was worse. Ohhhhh was it worse. When you suck on a lollipop the flavor becomes liquid and coats your entire mouth. It was like licking the artificial butter flavor off the bottom of a popcorn vat two weeks after they had turned the machine off and abandoned it without cleaning it. Only stronger.

Fortunately, and thanks to Bill, I had a box of strongly flavored mints in my purse.
