Still available - bid on ebay - if you want. (listed 2-11-09 bid starts at $9.99!)I am a portrait painter but I have to have other outlets for my artistic energy. I love to paint bright, silly, fun candy! This is my series of "Trifle" paintings. The label for all my candy posts is "ceci n'est pas une bonbon". This is a nod to one of my favorite painters, Rene Magrite. Indeed, this is not a candy, you cannot eat it, it is a painting of a candy.
I started painting these candy paintings after learning about the addictive ingredients in newer candy. Sugar Daddy does not have high fructose corn syrup or food coloring. Yes, it has sugar and sugar is addictive...
The Sugar Daddy was made in 1925 by Robert Welch. The original name was "Papa Suckers" because the maker thought it was the "papa" of all lollipops (suckers). It is a yummy caramel, stick to your teeth lollipop. Around 1932 the name was changed to "Sugar Daddy" - a popular term of the time.
Ingredients: Corn Syrup, sugar, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, dry whole milk, whey, natural and artificial flavors, salt, soya lecithin.
Made in USA (Chicago, IL) by Tootsie Roll Industries.
