Take note
Be cautious while handling lollipops to avoid accidental ingestion or choking hazards, especially with small children.

1

Choose a Wrapped Lollipop

Opt for lollipops that are individually wrapped. The wrapper acts as a protective barrier, preventing direct contact between your hand and the lollipop. It's an effective first line of defense against stickiness.

2

Hold the Stick, Not the Candy

When enjoying a lollipop, hold it by the stick instead of gripping the candy itself. By doing so, you minimize contact with the sugary surface and reduce the likelihood of stickiness. Plus, it keeps your hands cleaner!

3

Rotate the Lollipop

As you lick the lollipop, rotate it gently in your hand. Rotating the lollipop helps evenly distribute the saliva over the candy's surface, preventing excessive stickiness from building up in one area.

4

Avoid Touching Other Objects

While enjoying your lollipop, refrain from touching other objects as much as possible. Direct contact with surfaces, such as tables or wrappers, can transfer stickiness onto your hands. Keep your hands focused on the lollipop for a cleaner experience.

5

Use a Napkin or Tissue

If you need to momentarily set down your lollipop, have a napkin or tissue handy for placing it on. This extra layer prevents the stickiness from transferring onto the surface you rest it on, maintaining cleanliness.
