Just NO.

AIBU?

Middle aged male visitor is sitting there right now, with DH in the kitchen. His DD I think has a pack of the things (I hate them anyway but kids I can forgive)

And he's sucking one.

He's making little "Shlep" noises when he takes it out again.

I'm so grossed out right now. This is a big grown man of 47.

Happiness who said I was angry? I'm slightly disgusted.

SpreadYourHappiness. Nobody is getting angry about other people's eating habits, we just think it's kinda weird for grown ups to eat like little kids.

I'd also like to point out that "Happiness" sounds the most angry poster on the thread! Grin

I think this is far more grown up.

What's next? Grown women with pigtails? (I've seen such things...)

TheDowagerCuntess · 07/04/2017 10:48

Nobody's angry, spread. Just indulging in a little judging of adults sucking lollipops.

LordScuttlebutt · 07/04/2017 10:49

In Australia, they call ordinary sweets "lollies". Completely confused me Confused

WorraLiberty · 07/04/2017 10:49

Very fucking angry indeed.

VeryButchyRestingFace · 07/04/2017 10:54

I actually quite fancy a chupa chup now.

Thanks, OP.

Itaintme · 07/04/2017 10:57

What about Easter eggs? Can I still eat them?

someonestolemynick · 07/04/2017 11:02

Yanbu.

This is shocking behaviour and must be logged with 101 immediately.
Won't somebody please think of the children?

Littlepond · 07/04/2017 11:03

I'm currently eating a kinder egg.

YABU - I love a sherbet Dibdab (in the privacy of my own home of course!)

LordScuttlebutt · 07/04/2017 11:03

I've always loved kiddie sweets. Actually prefer them to chocolate!

They are so interesting - all the different flavours, shapes, fizzy, different textures, interesting packaging.

Chocolate seems quite boring in comparison.

VeryButchyRestingFace · 07/04/2017 11:06

I couldn't find a chupa chup (woe!) so I'm lying in the bath eating a twix.

Do twixes pass muster, OP?

MistressMerryWeather · 07/04/2017 11:07

Strawberry and cream Chupa Chups are glorious.

YABU.

LordScuttlebutt · 07/04/2017 11:07

Those lollies that are a whistle - brilliant, haha!
