I'm not sure if the audience for this weird candy product is would-be cannibals or students of Freudian analysis. More likely it's aimed at the orally fixated who have a sweet tooth, just like all lollipops.

The folks over at Archie McPhee say that as long you don't have any hangups about eating candies shaped like human heads then you'll love the shape and flavor of these Freud head lollipops. The package has a spoof on the famous Freud quote that reads, "Sometimes a lollipop is just a lollipop." For some reason these things remind me of another famous quote: "There's a sucker born every minute."

If it were really a "Freudian" lollipop, I'm not sure the part of the anatomy it features would be a head.

Don't think "phallic pops" would be all that well received, however.

And even the Freud-head pop is pretty creepy.

(Speaking of Creepy, Crabby seems to be back annoying people again, trying to plug her silly health blog. Today's quiz will tell you what kind of "food freak" you are:
