Sriracha Flavored Lollipops

The good people at Lollyphile brought us Sriracha flavored lollipops. Because apparently putting hot sauce on your eggs, noodles, and every other available surface wasn’t enough. Now it gets its own candy stick. Mmm, Sriracha: the magical sauce that makes you look at your breakfast branflakes and think, “Could work.”
Sriracha Lollipops: Sweet Candy With a Spicy Kick
The idea pairs the sweetness of a lollipop with Sriracha-inspired heat. Lollyphile describes these as spicy candy, so this is firmly in hot-sauce-lover territory. Personally, I’m tempted to put some Sriracha on my Sriracha lollipop. I know. At some point somebody needs to take the bottle away.
More Unusual Flavors From Lollyphile
Don’t like Sriracha? You’re dead to me! There are other options. Lollyphile’s flavor lineup has included White Russian, Absinthe, Bourbon, and Habanero Tequila. Yes, I only mentioned the booze-related ones. Why? Because apparently my candy shopping comes with an imaginary cocktail menu.
One useful distinction: those names describe flavors. According to Lollyphile’s FAQ, its alcohol-flavored lollipops contain no alcohol. Bourbon candy won’t double as happy hour, although it does make the office candy jar sound considerably more interesting.
So: Sriracha, candy, and my reputation. Just kidding, I gave up on my rep years ago. At least the spicy sweets know exactly what they’re doing.
Lollyphile has an F rating with the Better Business Bureau. They do not respond to emails and they do not ship out your product, but they do take your money. AVOID.
I really wanted to try them too. I ordered a dozen of them on 4/26. Its 5/14 and they are still not here. I was really excited to see something this good, but now lollyphile et al are leaving a bitter taste in my mouth. I hope that they are worth the wait.
Wow, sriracha lollipops sound quite interesting. I can’t decide if they sound good or not, but I am very intrigued and I want to try one. I have never had a savory lollipop and I am having a hard time conceptualizing what they would be like. I love sriracha, though, so I think these would be a great foray into the world of savory lollipops.
