BreastMilk Lollipops?

Lollipops with artificial breast milk flavoring is now available for purchase. But the question that remains is why? If a child is old enough to eat a lollipop, which is a huge choking hazard, then that same child is probably already weaned from breast milk. Is the lollipop supposed to remind a child of happier times? Wouldn’t the kid prefer grape or cherry over breastmilk?

From Fox here:

Mothers looking to give their children a unique, yet familiar, candy treat are in luck. A lollipop company based in Austin, Texas called Lollyphile is offering new Breast Milk Lollipops, meant to mimic the flavor of a mother’s milk.

According to Lollyphile’s website, numerous mothers shared their breast milk with the company’s “flavor specialists,” until they were able to turn the flavor into a candy.

The limited edition lollipops aren’t cheap. Four will cost you $10. A case of 36 Breast Milk Lollipops costs $58.

I’m sure the candy maker has a ready market of hippy-dippy organic soy swilling eco-religionists who would think this is awesome. I think its stupid and gross. But if this guy can take money from those progressive moms, then it makes me happy.
