Parents! Let me shout that again, PARENTS!! Are you so tired of wasting your money on going out to dinner with your kids, and hoping for the small possibility of a semi-enjoyable evening?

You are not asking for the moon and stars. You just want to eat somewhere other than your kitchen or backyard, right? You want someone else to do the cooking for you, right? Yet, the fear that builds up inside of you as you enter the confinds of a, dare I say it, RESTAURANT, can be so overwhelming you ask yourself, “Why, oh why do I bother?”

Let us help you! We are mothers over here at Southwest Candy. We are also women who want to DINE OUT for goodness sake! Husbands hear our cries! We have solved the problem for you! ENTER…. THE LOLLIPOP!

Viewing Exhibit A:

Here sits a darling little girl. Gorgeous big brown eyes hypnotizing anyone who comes into contact with her. She smiles- even more intoxicating. Now you are under her spell. You are getting messages to the brain saying, “I am adorable. I am a good girl. Please take me out and show me off. I promise I will behave. You KNOW you want to get out of the house!”

You are suddenly taken over by these hypnotic messages. You round up the troops, call your husband to meet you at the restaurant, and BAM! You find yourself in a panic as the kids become restless, and those damn crayons and coloring pages are not entertaining anyone but the other customers who were hit in the back of the head with them.

Suddenly, you remember your secret weapon. You ordered from Southwest Candy, and you armed yourself with LOLLIPOPS! Mini Tootsie Pops, Dum Dums, Charms Mini Pops, and even Dr. John’s Sugar Free Lollpops are all options for you- you have a very large purse! Just as the waitress carries over your glass of chardonnay, you pop a lollipop in each childs’ mouth. Ahhh….. cocktails and dreams baby!

Viewing Exhibit B:

Did someone say, “Road Trip?” In the past, they may have been a pipe dream for you and your screaming family of hellions. UNTIL NOW. Tootsie Pops, Blow Pops, Caramel Apple Pops, Big Slice Pops, heck, give Whirly Pops a shot! These are all lollipops that last, and last, and last. Great for road trips when your kids are constantly asking, “Are we there yet?”

Step one- use them as a prize. “If you behave until we get to grandma’s house, you get a lollipop!”

Step two- use them as a threat. “Oh no, you are not going to get your lollipop if you keep it up!”

Step three- use as a muzzle. “Put this in your mouth, and I don’t want to hear a word until we get to grandma’s!”

Let Southwest Candy help you manage your children. We understand what it takes to have peace, quiet, and sanity. Do not underestimate the power of being the mom with a lollipop in her purse. YOU are in control. YOU are the boss. YOUR children will LISTEN!

Who’s Your Candy?
