iβm possibly about to help you with some childhood closure π (it was for me, anyway).
it concerns lollipops and random holes π … sounds like a surreal plot for a noel fielding novel π.
#tdil the reason why lollipops have a random hole at the end of the stick (the one i mean is in the top piccy).
now, there are a couple of myths surrounding the mysterious hole that weβre going to dispel first ππ».
firstly, some people think that the hole is there so that you donβt choke if you swallow the stick #notideal. not true π to stop you dying, the entire stick is hollow … not just the end bit.
secondly, this one forever makes me sad, it isnβt there (on most lollies … there are exceptions) to be used as a whistle βΉοΈ. i was always under the impression that every lolly was an opportunity for me to be annoying … turns out that i was wrong (thereβs no whistle emoji π).
so, the actual reason ππ» … it turns out that the hole in the end of the stick is a super important part of the lollyβs architecture – without it, your lolly would have no sweet ball on the end! π
the hole allows a small amount of the sweet to form inside the stick, subsequently holding the sweet to the end of the stick; without that super important hole, the sweet would simply slip off #awks.
and there we go! π¬ you can now successfully move on into adulthood with complete lolly based closure … youβre welcome βπ».
right, somehow i dragged this out for a while π so iβm off!
