# Savory Creature Lollipops The Animal Head Suckers are Nauseatingly Sweet By Meghan Young | Published 2012-02-10 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animal-head-suckers References: [thetrendygirl.net](http://www.thetrendygirl.net/2012/02/sucettes-dejantees-archie-mcphee.html) & [mcphee](http://www.mcphee.com/shop/products/Fish-Head-Sucker.html) As savory as the Animal Head Suckers may appear, they are still sweet to the tongue. Despite how unique this collection of lollipops is, the flavors are very much traditional. For instance, the Fish Head sucker tastes like sour lemon while the Lobster Claw Lollipop has a classic strawberry flavor. Available online at the American joke shop known as Archie McPhee, the Animal Head Suckers may not look appetizing, but instead of making people feel queasy, they will make people laugh. In addition to the fish and lobster versions, the Animal Head Suckers include a plucked chicken with an orange flavor, a coiled snake with a cinnamon flavor and, finally, a slug that tastes like banana. They may look realistic, but the Animal Head Suckers are completely edible. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Novelty Food Products:** The edible and humorous Animal Head Suckers could inspire a trend of playful food products. - **Savory-sweet Flavor Combinations:** The traditional flavors of sweet lollipops combined with the savory appearance of the Animal Head Suckers could inspire a trend of unique flavor combinations in the candy industry. - **Humorous Packaging Design:** The quirky packaging of the Animal Head Suckers could inspire a trend of humorous branding and packaging design in the candy industry. ### Where This Applies - **Candy Manufacturing:** Candy manufacturers could take inspiration from the Animal Head Suckers to create unique and playful candy products that appeal to a wider audience. - **Specialty Food and Gift Retail:** Retailers selling novelty and gag gifts could add the Animal Head Suckers to their offerings, presenting the lollipops as humorous conversation starters. - **Event Planning and Entertainment:** The Animal Head Suckers could be used as part of event planning and entertainment, bringing a playful and humorous element to parties and functions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Polarizing Hard Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/malort-sucks.md) - [Super-Sour Lollipop Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chupa-chups-sour.md) - [Craft Cocktail Lollipops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourmet-cocktail-lollipop.md) - [Sensory Ultra-Sour Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slime-licker-products.md) - [Super-Sour Jelly Lollipops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/warheads-sour-jelly-pops.md) - [Oversized Gummy Bear Lollipops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clever-candy-big-bear-pop.md) - [Sour Bacon-Flavored Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sour-punch-bacon-bites.md) - [Lickable Sour Candy Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zed-candy.md) - [Lobster-Shaped Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-lobster.md)
