New employee embarks on a quest to find her favorite flavor!


New employee at a job where selling and marketing lollipops is the key, can you say dream job! I was asked to try all our lollipops and write a blog about them. My inner child may have gotten a little too excited. The anger from every time my mom said no to a lollipop at the grocery store was ready to go. 25 lollipops and the biggest sugar rush later, I was ready to write.  I apologize to every employee I bothered as I ran up and down the halls hoping to literally get “ideas running”. I am pretty sure I annoyed the graphics designers as they were trying to get work done. My over dramatic breakdown over my mom saying no to lollipops when I was a child may have been a bit over-dramatic, but that is the best part about these lollipops. Not my adult-self having a sugar high slash childhood meltdown. But each lollipop literally makes you feel like a kid again. All I needed was some pigtails and my 90’s overall and I would have been all set.


Never have I tasted so many lollipops that have such distinctive flavors, each bringing back memories of when I was a kid. Getting that caramel apple from the fair, making sugar cookie with my gram, having a hot fudge sundae after desert, let’s not forget my first Pina colada. Every lollipop I tried brought me back to a special moment in my life. All it took was one lick to relive all these amazing cheerful times. Challenge was, my favorite flavor. How do you pick a favorite from so many amazing flavors? Each one so delicious and creamy. By the time I was done trying each one, and my sugar rush had worn off I was able to narrow it down to my top 15 favorite flavors. Hmm maybe I should try them all again? No, nope definitely should not do that again in one day. I think that is too many lollipops for one day.

Next problem, we are always creating new flavors. Once I find my favorite they will be adding more creative, new, fun, exciting flavors. My favorite will always be changing. With hard work, dedication and a little bit of discipline I should be able to find a favorite or should I not. Do I want to find my favorite? Picking one to love when I care for so many different flavors, it’s almost like the bachelor. I don’t want to pick just one. I like them all, each has a different fun taste that brings back a special memory for me. With each new flavor I can create a new memories. Sharing a birthday cake lollipop with my child on his birthday, enjoying a peppermint lollipop on a crisp snow day, or share an orange cream swirl lollipop on a hot summer beach day with family and friends. Each lollipop is fun and exciting, new flavor all the time, classic flavors are always there, and finding ways to share them and create moment you won’t forget. I think my favorite is the love and dedication that goes into each lollipop that makes every moment enjoyable. I am so glad that sugar rush has worn off, I think I’m going to go have another lollipop!

How Lollipops Can Improve Your Study Habits

Image
Many people are quick to say that Candy does not improve your work habits. But luckily for all the candy lovers out there I’m going to challenge this belief and tell you the 5 ways in which candy can actually help you concentrate and even improve your work habits. 1. Energy: There no way to avoid the last minute pile of work that you promised yourself you would finish “tomorrow”.   Between those cat videos on YouTube and trying to “Keep up with the Kardashians”, you’ve accidentally dug yourself into a hole of work that you need to be out of by 8am sharp. Luckily for you, we have an answer! Grab a Lollipop and start sucking away! The sugar in the Lollipop will keep you awake long enough to finish your pile of work as well as be a reward for finally getting it done. Better late than never! 2. Fidgeting: Sucking on a lollipop is a great way to stay focused during a meeting or in class if your one of those people who has to constantly be fidgeting with something in order t...

Share A Lollipop with a Friend!

Image
Sharing is caring, that’s what my parents always said. Remembering those little polite things teacher and parents would constantly enforce in our lives. How doing one nice thing for someone else would show how much you care. Funny how simple it used to be. Being a kid and making friends was so easy. All you had to do was share and say hi and it was like you had been friends your entire life. Sometimes I wish it was that easy now. If all I had to do was share a cute little lollipop to get people to be my friend, I would have a hundred friends. These little life-lessons that you learn as a child seem so far fetch now but are they really? Sometimes we over look those simple gesture. We now think wow that was so easy, wish things could be this easy now. Well maybe they can be. Who said kindness was overrated. I like to still believe that if I left my house right now and went to someone with a cute little lollipop that maybe I would make a new friend. All you read and hear about is all th...
