Yum! A peppermint flavoured lollipop covered with ants! I haven't had one of those since...um...never. Actually, I HAVE eaten a granola bar covered with ants, but I didn't eat them on purpose! I remember watching cartoons after school when I was around 11 or 12. I always waited until the commercial breaks before I fixed my "after-school" snacks. One day, I was in a hurry...so I reached into a box of granola bars and quickly grabbed one of the bars. I began unwrapping it on my way back to my usual spot...you know, about 4 inches away from the front of the television screen. Anyway, I never looked at the bar because the cartoon had already started...and the power of that mesmerizing rectangular screen was simply too strong for a young boy like me to look away. After chowing down on at least half of the bar, I briefly glanced down and noticed a BUNCH of black spots all over it. To be honest, I probably would have kept eating it had I not seen one of the spots move! Ants were all over the bar...and I had already eaten many of them. Believe me, trying to force yourself to vomit a half-eaten, dry granola bar is not a fun task. Needless to say, I ALWAYS look at EVERYTHING before I put it anywhere near my mouth.
Anyway, if you're curious about that ant-covered lollipop pictured above and wondering if it is an actual "edible" item, well it is! Here's a link to the company's site: http://www.edible.com/shop/browse.php?cmd=showproduct&productId=1
