National Lollipop Day
Lollipops come in many shapes, sizes, and flavors. It's no wonder why they are a favorite treat for people of all ages! Whether they are filled with gum, chocolate, or solid candy, no one can deny the lure of the lollipop. Do you like to bite right in or lick it until the end? Everyone has a preference for how they like to enjoy their lollipops.
Fun fact: today's machines can produce 5,900 lolllipops per minute. That's plenty of lollipops for you and your friends to enjoy on National Lollipop Day!
If you are feeling particularly ambitious today, think about breaking the world record for the world's largest lollipop. It weighed 4,031 pounds and was more than fifteen feel tall!
This week is National Ventriloquism Week
