I do not need lollipops and stickers, so I&#8217;ve not unboxed them. And At $1.25, this was a deal&#8230; a particularly maddening deal. You see, I stumbled across it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0DKPWFQDM\/?tag=aaugh-20\">at a much higher price on Amazon<\/a> yesterday, and thinking I&#8217;d not see it in the wild, I ordered it.
