A Texas-based candy company, Lollyphile, has launched breast-milk flavored, vegan lollipops for both adults and kids.
Lollyphile, a Texas-based candy company, has released breast-milk flavored, vegan lollipops. The lollipops are actually targeted at the adult market, catering to people who want to recapture the taste of infancy and recall the taste of breast milk. However, founder of the company, Jason Darling, said that kids would enjoy the lollipop too. In fact, Darling reveals that the idea for the product came to him when he saw how docile and content some of his friends' furious babies became after being fed breast milk.
"I don't know if it's because I'm getting older, but it seems like all of my friends are having babies these days," Darling said in a press release. "Sure, the kids are all crazy cute, but what slowly dawned on me was that my friends were actually producing milk so delicious it could turn a screaming, furious child into a docile, contented one. I knew I had to capture that flavor."
The press release clarified that though flavor specialists did use breast milk to recreate the flavor and taste, the lollipop in itself doesn't contain breast milk. The Los Angeles Times also confirmed that the candy is made out of mostly sugar and no milk, making it 100 percent vegan.
"It's sad that so few people are able to remember this inherently wonderful flavor," Darling said. "It's a real shame that babies are so selfish, but you'll understand their unwillingness to share once you try one of these."
Darling also confirmed that since its release on Monday, lollipops worth thousands of dollars have already been sold. The lollipops are also available for purchase online. Packs of four cost $10, twelve cost $24 and 36 costing $58.
