Not sure why, but this reminded me (not about lollipops) but of spiked eggnog.
At one point, I had a hairdresser who used to bring booze, for the holidays, into her salon. So I went in one Saturday for a "trim" and apparently, it was spiked eggnog day, and she made it herself . .


She gave me a full glass of this (it was delicious, by the way) and I drank it down, while she was cutting my hair.
I have this thing about long bangs, but she said my eyes would really sparkle, if I had shorter bangs. Feeling all relaxed from the eggnog, and in a festive holiday mood, I said, "O.k., cut them a little bit shorter."
Big mistake--I ended up looking like Mamie Eisenhower!
