These flavored lollipops contain a real worm that has been suspended within the flavored confines of the sucker. You don't have to eat the bug, but that would just defeat the purpose of having a insect larva in your lollipop, now wouldn't it? Each lollipop is made from a sugar-free, flavored syrup. May contain soy. Each sucker net weight 1 oz. Pack of 3.
