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 flavour

I'm beyond speechless. I'm... thoughtless. My brain is simply refusing to function.

*This* is the sort of thing the Office of Homeland Security should be focusing on. Willy Wonka gone bad. Well...gone worse.

There really is nothing quite like it.

I wonder when they will come out with nacho cheese flavored candy.

Is this not the time or place to mention that I really like the buttered popcorn Jelly Bellies? *grin*

Though, one at a time...I don't think I could handle a lolipopful...

Be warned...

Don't be too worried, though... there are buttered popcorn flavored Jelly Belly jelly beans. White, with light yellow patches. But I only ever buy them as a kind of joke..."Try this... tastes more like popcorn than most popcorns." (It actually tastes like ... well... like distilled essence of movie theater popcorn poured into a jelly bean. Which, of course, is probably what it is.

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.

It could have been far far worse... it could have been those Botts every flavour jelly beans from Harry Potter... ear wax any one? vomit? :)
