“The thought of one day seeing these lollipops in the hands of students at every major university is exciting to Team Candy Suckers.” says Von See. “We’ve received a great deal of interest from the both the students and the universities represented by the LRG. With this approval we are steadily seeing our goals for 2011 become a reality.”
