Frequently Asked Questions

Lolly issues:

Are your absinthe lollys legal?
Yep. After a ridiculously long prohibition, absinthe has officially made a comeback. The US Government recently approved the sale of absinthe within certain guidelines, namely that there is less than 10ppm of thujone. Our Absinthe Lollipops contain an amount of thujone that is within the legal limits set by the US regulatory authorities and of the European Union.

Do you use real bacon in your candy?
Indeed we do. In fact, not only do we never use artificial flavors, we use the most high-quality ingredients available. So that bacon? It's not just real- it's sustainably farmed.

Will the absinthe lollipops get me wasted ?
Our absinthe lollipops will get you as wasted as will beer-battered chicken, bourbon-infused BBQ sauce, or lasagna alla vodka- which is to say, no: they do not contain alcohol. Furthermore, the myth of thujone is just that. If you're interested, MSNBC wrote a really good article on the realities of absinthe bohemian legends (spoiler alert: the bohemians were really, really drunk).

What other flavors are you going to make?
You'll see. We've got a bunch planned, and we're always taking suggestions and experimenting. We're hoping to release a new flavor every month or so, once we've got enough cooks to handle demand. But right now we're swamped!

Other stuff:

Do you offer wholesale pricing for retailers?
If you're a retailer and you'd like to carry our lollipops, get in touch and let us know. We're currently being carried by a number of stores nationwide, and we'd love to add your store to the list.

Can you get me my lollipops by, like, tomorrow?
Sorry- we're not set up for that just yet. But soon. Right now we have a 5-7 business day turnaround time to get orders in the mail (we cook to order), and then USPS tends to take about 2-3 business days to deliver within the continental US. International orders take a bit longer for shipping.

Can I order from you even if I don't have a PayPal account?
Sure! PayPal is set up to take credit card info. When you're given the option of checking into PayPal, click "continue" instead- it's just to the left of the login form- and you can simply input your credit card info & mailing address.
