Candy with a surprise inside - and not the good kind

On the good ship Lollipop,
It’s a sweet place where the insects hop…

The old Shirley Temple song certainly loses some of its appeal if you get your lollipops from candymaker Annie Munoz. She concocts candies with grasshoppers and meal worms inside, because, well, I guess maybe maybe nougat is outlawed where she lives.

Anyway, if you’re worried about your kids eating too much candy, one of these suckers should put them off sweets forever.

I bet that dear Annie might have some difficulty finding a man that will kiss her after this article. I can’t say that’s the most attractive picture I’ve ever seen.

As a matter of fact, pardon me while I go vomit my cereal back up.

Nobody likes her. Everybody hates her.

What’s a girl supposed to do?

Only if they’re Mezcal lollypops. Then I’d probably share one with her. After a while.

Not as nutritious as rat on the cob.
