Mix them up with eye drops and you'll go blind.

Could a lolly possibly have a more unappetising name? It's a wonder any have ever sold. So much for the American obsession with 'marketing' and all those trendy noddy non-degrees, People will buy what they want to buy.
There is a delicious English sweet called a lemon bon bon. Very delicate flavour. I worked with an English woman who introduced me to them. Very expensive here though.

So, you have had a subjective experience ?
What about the observers on the trip - can they tell - would a photograph help ?

I first read that as 'mix them up with eye balls' - ( another kind of sweet ! ) - and yes, always good to wear your specs and read the contents, instructions and potential side-effects. Too much sugar...can make you go blind...

I could tell you a story about that word 'lolly' and the confusion it generated in a Dundee sweet shop.
Bon bons are doubly good 8)

Come to think of it I think it ends with 'ie' and I think it might exist only in the plural. So what do you call one then? :?

Actually, why anyone should wish to eat something that looks like, tastes likes and is as apt to break your teeth as a ball bearing, has always been a mystery.

Not to mention rot them. Even so, I've eaten my fair share of them.
