Abstract

A novelty candy holding device for holding a lollipop and making croaking sounds by stretching and bending the main housing into various positions. The device comprises a main housing made of a hollow corrugated plastic or a solid material that is flexible, stretchable and bendable. The upper end of the main housing has a figure attached which has an aperture in the top. The aperture has an expandable sleeve to hold a lollipop. The figure can be made to resemble any form desired, for example, a person, an animal, etc. The lower end of the main housing can be made with an open end to enhance the croaking sound when the housing is stretched. A flat base is attached to the lower end of the main housing for a support and to hold the main housing in an upright position. The base can be made to resemble feet or any form desired. The device has also been designed so the lollipop can be replaced with any type of lollipop desired and the device can provide fun for children of all ages.
