It takes a healthy amount of vanity to gift someone a portrait of yourself, but a life-size, lickable, lollipop version of your face? That would require something closer to full-blown narcissismâor a private, long-running in-joke I never want to be a part of.
Fireboxâs new âFace Lickerâ service (yep, thatâs what itâs calling it) simply requires you to submit a photo and a short description of the person you want sugarized, plus $55 to cover all those carbs, and enough patience to wait at least a couple of weeks if youâre ordering one from anywhere outside the UK.
It doesnât necessarily have to be your own face, either: Firebox will happily make a lollipop version of a friend or even a celebrity if, letâs say, youâve always harbored a secret fantasy about licking Mark Zuckerbergâs face (donât judge me).
There are no returns if youâre disappointed with the results, as trying to unload a candy version of a random personâs selfie on another customer would be a hard sell. Besides, would you really want a lollipop version of your face ending up in the hands of a stranger? Weâre also a little disappointed you donât get to choose the flavors that go into your custom lollipop. Itâs tutti-frutti only, when in reality I think my face would taste more like a mix of wintergreen and day-old Hawaiian pizza.
