Dum Dums

So, the last day before I moved back to Coimbatore I gave out Dum Dum lollipops. It’s a tradition at the IT company that I share office space with that when you travel abroad you bring back sweets for the office. It’s a cool tradition and I’ve scored some candy from Singapore and Korea because of it. I figured since I went back to the US for a visit it was my turn. I bought a 250 pack of them and gave them out- I liked the idea that there’s something like 20 flavors, at least one for everyone’s taste. About 5 minutes after handing them out, my coworker tapped me on the shoulder and told me to stand up from my cubicle. I did and saw that just about every person in the office of 60+ had a lollipop sticking out of their mouth. Needless to say, they were a hit. Maybe you had to be there, but I’ll have a mental image from now on of an office full of people with lollipop sticks in their mouth- it was adorable!
