I have just picked my child up from a playdate and, on the way out, the mum gave both my kids a chupa chup. These fucking lollies. They're a huge choking hazard, they're impossible to open, and they're terrible for kids' teeth. I can't stand the bloody things. Currently perched on the sofa watching the kids eat them. I can't leave the room until I know the choking danger has passed. I am perhaps a touch neurotic.

Never liked them but then I didn't like them eating large boiled sweets like werthers originals. Probably because I choked on a sweet like that when I was little and dad had to turn me upside down to get it out.

Same. I’m not strict with sweets really but my 2 r just not allowed lollies end of story, no lollies ever. Choking hazards and so dangerous. I feel sick when I see kids running round the park with lollies. When I was a child a boy in my class fell with one in his mouth and it got shoved right thru his soft palette and he needed surgery !

I agree for the same reasons. They can easily slip off the stick. Kids walk around with them in their mouth. Nope!
I switch them out for other sweets if they end up being a Trick or Treat sweet.
