The Lollipop Stick’s Whistle

Lollipops bring back fond memories of our days when we did not have a care in the world. Those were the days when we spent lazy afternoons licking these sweet delights to their core and then using the lollipop stick with its tiny hole as a whistle to the dismay of our parents.

Growing up, however, brought on the realization that the hole in the stick was not just put there for our childish entertainment. Its real purpose is that when the candy is poured onto the stick, some of it seeps through the hole and helps it have a better grip.
