One of the most popular questions that has been floating around through WA in the past month has been: Who has the lollipops?

These famous pops are the Ozark company lollipops used for a quick and easy fundraiser, mostly used by the sports teams here at WA. The trend began back in the fall when the field hockey team brought them in as their fundraiser, and now in the spring time it’s the girls’ tennis team’s turn.

The lollipops are known for two things: their exotic flavors and of course the mouth-watering taste.  Many times throughout the day you will find either people selling them, buying them, or just sucking on them during class.  In each bag there is around sixty lollipops. The freshmen being at the bottom of the food chain must sell three bags, a whopping 180 pops, unless some of the upperclassmen are unable to sell them and so pass them down.  Sophomores and juniors have to sell two bags, and the seniors have the luxury of having to only sell one bag.  Each lollipop itself is only .75 cents, but yet astonishingly each bag makes around forty-five dollars.

In these bags of wonder there are numerous delicious flavors but there are a few selective ones that are the top sellers.  These flavors include: raspberry lemonade, sour pink lemonade, berries and cream, sweet freedom, watermelon, tropical splash, cherry cheesecake, and strawberry cheesecake.  Not only do they all taste amazing but the designs on the lollipops themselves are just fun to look at.

Even though we are at the end of the lollipop season you may still be able to find a couple people selling them around hoping to get rid of their last couple.  Also what I’ve noticed what seems to be going around is that there are other lollipop sales going around not just for sports but for other fundraisers such as for relay for life.   So if you’re ever in the mood for something sweet, scout around and keep an eye out for these lollipops.
