I wasn't allowed lollipops as a kid because of the sugar content of the hard candy. We were allowed an occasional treat of an ice lolly though!
That must have been hard for you. 
Sometimes, but the ice lollipops, or ice lollies as we called them, we got were even more special because they weren't an everyday thing!
did you have a favorite flavor?
Not really - there are so many companies making them these days, with all sorts of different flavors. How about you?
I like citrus flavors like lime.
I didn't realize this, but some novelty lollipops have insects, like mealworm larvae, in the middle of the candy - ewww!
Yeah insects are actually a great cheap source of protein. It's kinda silly we don't eat them. 
So I hear. I'll stick to lollipops with such fun things as a flashing light in the candy, if you don't mind, lol.
Yeah that sounds fun.
