We've heard of almost every use for breast milk by now — acne fighter, pink-eye solution, ice cream, and even breast milk soap. The one common denominator here is that mama's milk is nothing if not versatile. If you ask the majority of moms who've tasted their own milk, it's a sweet liquid that kids love, but many adults find just too sugary.
That's probably why the folks at San Francisco and Austin-based Lollyphile (best known for making absinthe and chocolate bacon-flavored lollipops) thought breast milk would make a great lolly flavor. They recently introduced Breast Milk Lollipops ($10 for four), which were inspired by some screaming tots. The founders said, "Since some of us are confectioners, we felt it was our responsibility to find out just what this flavor was that could turn a screaming, furious infant into a placid, contented one. Surely the flavor must be heavenly, yes? We are endlessly grateful to all the mothers who kept sharing their breast milk with our flavor specialists until we were able to candify it."
So what do you think? Will breast milk become the new hot flavor trend?
After hearing about the feat, the first thought that came to mind was, "What flavor is it, and who's eating it?" In case the color doesn't give it away, it's chocolate — but if you're hoping for a hunk, then you're out of luck. The lolly will be on display for the next couple days, only to be disposed of by a local recycling company thereafter. I love the idea of oversized food, but I always wish there was a way to put the food to practical use!
