SCORPION POPS Real scorpions you can eat encased in hard candy. Yup, these lollipops have a real scorpion inside, including the pinchers and stinger! Don't worry; the poison in the stinger goes inert shortly after it is killed. There is no danger in eating a scorpion, stinger, and all; once it's been prepared correctly. Scorpions have been around longer than humans, and some scorpions are venomous enough to kill a human (although this is rare). This is your chance to bite back!
