RGGS: Lollyphile! -or- How To Get Bacon In Your Candy


For those of you who haven't yet stumbled across its brightly coloured banners currently screaming pink, sweet toothy murder across the internet, Lollyphile! is an online independent candy store with its prime (and only) stock being a variety of unusually flavoured Lollipops.


The company is based in San Fransisco and had its start around Halloween in 2007 where, as they put it, they found themselves with 'a lot of absinthe and no candy. One thing lead to another...'


From these humble beginnings, alongside a whole lot of imagination and some trial and error in the kitchen, they have emerged with a series of bizarre Lolly creations for us, the lucky public, to sample.


The full list as it currently stands goes a little something like this:


-Absinthe Lollipops

-Bourbon Lollipops

-Maple-Bacon Lollipops

-Wasabi Ginger Lollipops

-White Russian Lollipops


Now, being a gentleman genius scholar, I felt it my duty to try out each of these sweets and report back to you, Joe-everyman, which ones were worth your hard earned bucks. It'll be hard. I've heard tell these are some LARGE lollipops. But never fear. There is no pop too large for this scholar. I'm ready to get my sucker on.


Because that's the kind of man I am.
