Breast Milk Lollipop is Vegan and Composed Primarily of Sugar

For Texans that never got a taste of breast milk as babies, now, they have that chance to relieve that feeling of nostalgia through a lollipop (well, sort of.)

Though creator Jason Darling admits that despite various rumors the products do not (repeat) do not actually contain any breast milk, he was inspired to sell lollipops that carry the taste of a mother's natural milk.

In order to create this flavor, Darling and his team of flavor specialists did actually sample breast milk that was provided by four mothers who are friends of Darling, according to various reports. Darling said the milk has an almond flavor, and his company, the Lollyphile, introduced this flavor at the beginning of this week. Despite controversy surrounding its newest product, creator, Jason Darling stated that the company has sold at least $1,000 worth of the lollipops.

"One of my friends had a preemie - it was seven months - and she had higher levels of colostrum, which made it sweeter, blue and thicker. It all kind of tastes sort of like almond milk, but sweeter," Darling said, according to the LA Times.

After numerous trials to perfect its flavor, the company finally found what they believe best represents breast milk. The flavor, packed into a small, soft-beige lollipop, is mostly made of sugar and vegan, for those of the vegetarian-persuasion. 

"Can you imagine armies of pumping mothers?" Darling said, according to the LA Times. "Managing that would be a logistical nightmare."

The lollipops are selling at $10 for four, $24 for a dozen and $58 for 36. Other interesting flavors that Lollyphile sells include absinthe, sriracha, habanero, tequila, maple bacon and chocolate bacon. More information can be found on the website. The company was founded in 2007 and its target audience is between 25 and 35-years-old. 

Think Darling is the first person to come up with this idea? Think again. Breast milk flavored ice cream and other products have also paved the way for this eccentric taste. Click here to read more.
