Hey suckers! Actually need sucker info.
My friend is looking for suckers he got from Mexico that is a sucker on a stick. The outside is strawberry, and there is a center made out of salty
apricot. Got any idea where I can find some?
Thanks

Sounds like the (common) tamarind & chili lollipops with a salted prune (w/seed) in the middle.
Other lollipops have chili in the middle....

I've tried some of these things.... Very strange.
I think I would probably like them .....If I were really, really stoned.

Quite a lot of these have been found to have high concentrations of lead. Not a good thing for young developing bodies. But, for aging stoners the
damage has already been done...
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.
