just a tip.. drop your purchase of family boxes of Quality street , Roses, Heroes etc. get yourself a 10x bag of Chupa chups. Back in the day as a kid in school you could buy single of these and it was an easy 1-2-3 to unfurl the loose wrapper to get going with the goodness. However things seem to have changed. if you think paracetamol are hard to pop these days then think again. The new chupa chup has taken things to a new level. These things are now hermetically pressurised sealed with a bit of food glue added in . Honestly I've been stuggling for weeks and I have torn finger nails, bruised finger ends and all sorts. I've tried the Japanese steel penknife , the hardened steel nail clippers the crafting scalpel , etc. My final method rests with a cup of at least 90 degree water and submerging the lolly and the whole stick in it, for at least 3 min. Even after that you would think it's a breeze but no, there is still loads of resistance to getting in. So basically , once you have done this 3 times in a row , you get fed up and are happy to give up on the sweet calories promised. Free tip , courtesy of 'lived in' frustration
