"What the HELL is this?" she said, holding up the tiny rhino made of cheap plastic. I tried to explain that we got that at...er, some place or another. Summer a few years ago, maybe? Well it's been sitting on my kitchen table since then. I think I was going to give it to this friend of ours who has a song called "Heart of a Rhino". Nah, this no reason to keep this inch-long thing. Throw it out.
"And THIS one too," she said, as she showed me the equally small plastic frog that we got at some arcade or another. "No, wait, let me take a photo for the blog first!" I said as she stood there with a sigh.
Finally we get to the real insect. Yes, edible insects. You can't see it in this photo, but that's a little scorpion in the lollipop. Really, they do sell them:
Yes, I have eaten insect candy before. My opinion on chocolate-covered grasshoppers? Not bad, but I'd rather pay a fraction of the price for a Nestle's "Crunch" bar, which tastes almost the same.
I already had by grasshopper lollipop, but I never got around to eating this one. And I've had it for several years. Do I really have a need to hold on to a 3-year old critter lollipop? The answer is no. Into the trash you go with the rest of the inanimate critters. All small things, but clutter is clutter.
