Sucking Lollipop in Public?

That guy rocks because he didn't care what others might think about him. He is enjoying what he is doing and that is what matters, no matter how most people would find it repulsive and gross. As an answer to your question, i wouldn't care, too. I'd eat the way I want to eat it and nobody's gonna tell me how.

LOL, whyaskq...your topic gave me a depiction of something more sinister in my bunny mind. For the young man eating a lollipop, that's his prerogative. I've seen a lot of people doing it. Maybe, they find it as a sort of passing their boredom. But no, I wouldn't dare go out in public and pop in a lollipop. I would rather chew on my carrot.

Oh I love lollipops and I would love to have the nerve to eat them in public. I think the guy was great to eat his lollipop regardless of what people thought. He could have been doing a lot worse than eating his lollipop. I buy bags of lollipops for my grandchildren and when they forget to take them home with them, I usually eat them myself. They tend to last much longer than sweets so they would be less fattening.

that guy is not ashame of what he is doing. he rocks! we can do all the things we want to do as long as it won't affect or harm other people. it is just right to do something you want and feel to do because it shows that you don't care about what other people might say. a sign of courageousness, i think.

i wouldn't mind at all. let it be. if that's how he enjoys eating a lollipop, who cares anyway as long as he does not disturb me.

uhm, i'm sorry but i don't see the point why you can't do it in public? is it such taboo to suck and lick a lolli out in public? coz i do it if i feel like having a lollipop.

He may have been trying to quit smoking. I used lollipops when I was trying to quit once. I never really "enjoyed" them in public though, except at my workplace at the time. It must have been quite the sight to see. I don't think I could do that on a public bus, maybe a park. I think the only time I can really let loose and act childlike is in a parklike setting...or like frolicing on the beach. I do think his behavior is a little odd and childish, but he wasn't harming anyone...so to each his own.

I love lollipops and yes I eat them in public just like a child. I never thought about it like that, or that they are just for kids. I take one from the bank each time I go and get my kids one too. My favorite are dum dums.

Lol. that is great, I don't know, I never tried it. I like candies but not lolipops even when i was a kid. It must be amusing to look at it though, What is wrong with it?

Lol, Whyaskq! Did he know you were watching ? Well, ofcourse he did!:-P I had almost forgotten what a lollipop looks like, but that was until I read your vivid description.No,I won't really do that in public ,but that is perhaps because I wouldn't want to anyway.However,if challenged I just might.Actually,I feel it brings out a deeper character of humans that being whether we mend our ways when in public (worrying that we might be judged wrongly) or we continue being ourselves irrespective of their presence.As for the question of respectability,that would depend on individual perception and in my case I am with you.

I would and do eat lollipops in public. I don't think it is childish to eat candy in public. Why should you limit yourself to what kinds of candy you eat in public. I'll even eat the ring pops in public :)

I really don't think I can do that in public.Yeah,I do it sometimes whenever I am at home and if ever I am going to have some lollipop in public,I wont really play with it.I would just put it in my mouth and avoid playing with it.

I don't think there's anything wrong with sucking lollipops. That's how you eat lollipops. It will be very unenjoyable with the lollipop in your mouth all the time; the buldge in your cheek gets uncomfortable after a while. If you think sucking lollipops is childish then you should think eating ice cream is childish because you are still licking the ice cream.

LOL...kudos to that guy. I sure don't have the 'guts' to suck my lolly in public. No matter what it is, Lollipop is a sweet candy and I do love it occasionally too. Maybe I should start sucking it in public.

I think its very funny that this young man was suckinga lolly pop.Although I like lolly pops myself. I do try not to suck them in public.I do think a person could look childish.

My mom is the ONE person in our family who doenst like to draw attention to herself in public. Me, my sister, and my dad will openly make noise, be crazy and nutty and do it without caring that the public people know it too! We are nuts! So sure I am gonna suck a lolly in public. I probably have in the past. I am 27 and not ashamned to act like a kid sometimes :)) yeah!!!!!

Well, if he was just enjoying his lollipop as a candy, I don't see anything wrong. It takes a bit more courage once you get older... so it might be easier to do when you are in a group. Maybe you should have walked up to him, and shook his hand before asking for an autograph. :P

i don't think there is anything wrong in eating lolly pop at the public places. if anybody wants to eat then it's upto their wish. but definitely i am not gonna eat loolypop in public places,that is for sure.sometimes it seems bad manners

I think that he probably was enjoying that lollipop so much he didn't care what others think! I also find it interesting to watch people and see them revert back to childhood behaviors, such as when they are eating an ice cream or eating a lollipop. We usually do that, because it brings back childhood memories, we become relaxed and not really notice others so much. I do this myself! LOL

I love lollipops so I would suck on one in public if I wanted to..it wouldnt even occur to me that it's weird. I have seen a few men with them in public, but you don't see a lot of grown up men with lollipops..and most women if you see them with one are doing it to try to be sexy..licking it and sucking on it in a certain way to attract attention.. ya know what I mean lol I just eat em cuz I like em once in a while..though I did almost give this old guy a heart attack one day while I was licking on an Astropop in public while at work..I caught him watching me..it was pretty funny, especially since I didn't realize how it looked the way I was licking it until I saw his face LOL
