Today, I got up very early to focus on some very important client work.
Shower.
Coffee.
Banana and peanut butter wrap.
More coffee.
Laptop…
And FOCUS.
On the question that arrived whilst showering.
‘Where did lolly stick jokes go?’
Wikipedia, mumsnet and Iceland (the shop not the country) between them suggest that globalisation has something to do with it. You know, a joke in English is no good for some exports. Or it is that kids gobble lollies too quick to see the answer? I’m not sure.
As you birth your own theories, here are Iceland’s (the shop not the country) favourite lolly stick jokes from 2021.
You’re welcome.
