A lollipop is candy on a stick and the name makes no sense. Yet there isn't a kid that doesn't know about this word and who hasn't had the experience of one of these. The one that sticks (pun) out to me is the Tootsie Roll Pop. When I found out that you can have your Tootsie and eat it too, my world as a kid became more exciting
LOLLIPOPS ARE NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS
I used to by a large box of these and keep them at the Real Estate office. Pretty soon everyone was walking around with sticks coming out of their mouths. I made a couple of observations. First, you cannot talk with one of these in your mouth. If you try to, the flavor can escape. People learn to speak in between licks & swallows
WATCH THEIR HAND GO TO THE MOUTH
So, when you meet someone who has one going, you can talk all you want until their hand goes to the stick...then you know that they will respond. But the pop has to stop...first. Another thing I noticed is you never know what flavor someone has until they pull it out of their mouths. Either the tongue or the stick gives it away and people are quick to promote their flavor. I love orange & chocolate...yum!
MANY WAYS TO PARTAKE
I have seen people enjoy theirs different ways. The user controls the degree of experience by leaving it in the mouth or taking it out. The girl users like to apply it like lipstick while they indulge. They get an extra perk out of it. A few daring users like to crunch down and get to the Tootsie roll center. The noise generated gives you away every time. No matter what happens...you win!
BUSINESS MEETING TOOLS
In my meeting rooms, I kept Tootsie roll pops in a glass jar. Once I reached for one during a meeting, everyone else got one too. You had all these childlike adult Real Estate agents discussing business in between slurps and swallows. It actually made us all better listeners because our mouths stayed busy quiet allowing the speaker quality floor time. Once, we all got into a passionate business discussion and the lollipops actually helped us with our pacing while we had discussion..Less interruptions...lol
NOTE: Nearly impossible to hate, argue or attack anyone under the rule of the lollipop. Who would want to stop long-enough to do so? To miss a lick? LOL
YOU LOVE EVERYONE
It is impossible to dislike anyone who is enjoying a lollipop. TRY IT! It cannot be done. If a policeman pulled you over and had one of these going, it would change your mood instantly and his too. Doctors coming in and out of their examining rooms would be more inviting. Judges would not be feared but become father figures and if teachers would imbibe, students could relate to them better.
IMAGINE BEING REPRIMANDED
A lollipop person, approaches you for a reason, takes it out of their mouths, begins to make a point while waiving the candy on a stick around while giving you correction, direction or even a scolding. How bad could it be?
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
When you & others visit with their little inner child, what's not to like? There is no negative or take-aways. Judgment & criticism is replaced by innocence & acceptance & goodwill fills the air. There is a type of truce or temporary peace. Now that is power!
Not to leave out ice cream or your favorite candy, the lollipop can take you instantly to neutral, objective ground where love they neighbor is predominate
THE GOOD SHIP LOLLIPOP
A lollipop makes for a better human being......
