Who in the world still has time for lollipops?

Have you considered that the world and its ever-evolving technology has eclipsed the lollipop scene, in fact, left it in a powdered sugar dust?
It would be surprising to find anybody with enough white space in their planner, who is not too lethargic to fill it with tens of minutes of lollipop sucking. The problem with lollipops is two-fold:

1. Sucking is a solitary activity
-No respectable person can communicate above the level of a pre-schooler with a slowly dissolving paper-mache stick protruding out of their mouth. In times of continuous communication, eliminating the stick would be the logical choice. Ergo: the degradation of the lollipop to hard candy.

2. Lollipops 'suck' at multi-tasking:
-Whereas similar candy products have evolved in response to a food revolution set on making products ever more versatile, lollipops have continued to stall for time, our time that is.
Take for example chewing gum: Contemporary choices not only refresh your breath, they protect your teeth, and even whiten them while providing your mouth with a work-out that burns calories. In the face of this high-tech gum, lollipops are merely balls of sugar on a paper stick.

Fazit: Putting gum at the center of a tootsie has been the biggest revolution the lollipop industry has seen as of late and that surely won't make your teeth whiter.
