See's Candy staged this 7,000-pound lollipop at Justin Herman Plaza today for everyone to enjoy. You can look, but not lick!
The sucker isn't just some stupid PR stunt --it's in the running to become the world's largest lollipop.This ginormous sucker took See's workers 14.5 hours to make this insane sucker. The process started at 4 a.m. and was completed by 6:30 p.m. on the same day. That's a lot of overtime.
And a lot of sugar -- 2,947 pounds, to be exact. "We ran the National Lollypop Day promotion last year and gave away free lollipops at all of our shops, which was a big success.," says Natalie Brown, See's Candies Brand marketing manager. "We wanted to make this year's promotion bigger and better, which is how we came up with the idea of making the world's largest lollipop."
If you missed the chance to see this freakish candy, it will be on display in the Seals Plaza at AT&T park on Sunday, July 29, when the Giants play the Dodgers. Afterward, the chocolate sucker will be tossed.
