Remember when you were a kid and your mom would drive through the bank, and you got lollipops? I know my brother and I always used to fight over the flavors, especially blue raspberry or cotton candy. And we hated root beer and butterscotch.
If I have a parent come through my line and they’re particularly rude, I will give them two (or whatever amount) differently flavored lollipops. I hope their kids fight over them. I gave someone a root beer and blue raspberry combo the other day. I want to see the world burn.
edit: i’m sorry to all the butterscotch and root beer lovers. you’re seen and you’re valid. i love you. (kids these days just don’t like them unfortunately).
thx for all the love. y’all are funny.

I worked at credit union right out of high school and I did this same thing 🤣🤣🤣 it’s the only bit of a “fuck you” that you can really pull off on the rude people. But if they were nice, I would let their kids pick the colors they wanted.
Root beer is the best one tf. Blue raspberry is 🤢
I as a kid LOVED root beer!!
The lemon lime is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
When I worked at McDonald’s as a teen years ago, and someone ordered two chicken nugget happy meals, I’d put four nuggets in one, and cram like ten in the other, just hoping to set the world on fire!
Or just stare at them, pluck one out, unwrap it, and put the remainder in your bottom file cabinet drawer as you put the lollipop in your mouth.
Give a nice "Mmmm." as you finish closing the drawer.
I LITERALLY LAUGHED OUT LOUD WATCH THE WORLD BURN OVER LOLLIPOP KIDS LAMO
i was the odd ball and always wanted the butterscotch ones. would get 2 or 3 at a time lol
Butterscotch and cotton candy are top tier. Blue raspberry is acceptable… barely. Root beer is a war crime.
Peach flavor was the best. No one else seemed to want them so they were always there.
What does it mean when I went alone through the commercial lane, no kids and I was nice as friendly like I always am and I got 5 all good flavor ones back in my deposit bag?
Lol butterscotch was my fav, root beer is also great. So idk if your satisfaction is warranted.
Root Beer is the best!
Another thread had a comment about this guy that worked at McDonald’s who would purposely put an extra nugget in one of the happy meals when they ordered two lol
Cherry v. Lemon
I like the mystery flavor ones
This is so petty but harmless lmfaoo. Love it
The grape vs cream soda combo is funny lol
You are a golden god. Loved the root beer variety.
The first fender bender I got into was because of bank lollipops.
My brother and I (18 and 17 at the time) flirted with the teller in the drive through and she filled the tube with lollipops. We were counting them at the light and my foot let the clutch off just enough for me to roll into the car ahead of us lmao.
The lady in the car made a big stink about it, but her insurance called me two days later and said there was no damage in the photos and not to worry about it.
And that’s how I had my first "car accident".
I literally used to get so excited to go with my dada, to Majestic’s (a wine warehouse, here in England) since I was 5. Because of the lollipop he’d buy me at the counter at the end.
I was even allowed to pilot the trolley when I was 8 (in floor to ceiling boxes of bottles of wine, not a choice adult me would make), but I was so proud, and I’d still get my vanilla and cola Chubba-Chub.
A few years ago we had a family wedding, and my dad was tasked with procuring the wine.
I obviously went to help him, as he can’t lift as much as he used to.
But then he didn’t buy me a lolly at the checkout.
I don’t care that I’m now in my mid 30’s, and can afford a whole box if I wanted.
I pushed the trolley, I worked hard, where was my vanilla-cola Chubba-Chub.
Never felt so cheated in my life
But I love the root beer
Dude…. I totally wish I could give you a high five rn
This is what happens when intelligence gets bored.
Husband and I went to this concert a couple of years ago, and by the merch stand they gave away wrapped candy. I had an ordinary raspberry one, my husband got acid. It was so unexpected we had to leave early! 😂
I love the butterscotch ones
Root beer and butterscotch are literally the best flavors tf
Root beer and butterscotch are the best flavors though. I loved them even as a kid
You know you could sow more chaos if you switched wrappers on the lollipops.
Oh, you want a blue one? Sure thing! Here you go! They’ll be gone before they realize you gave them a lemon one.
Settle down, Satan.
Where do y’all order those lollipops from ?
When I try ordering off Amazon they all taste the same .
I remember lollipops but I don’t remember my mom ever driving through the bank.
man if these are dum dums butterscotch and root beer are elite
cotton candy too
Butterscotch is the best one man ☹️
A little piece of trivia for anybody that doesn’t already know. The "mystery flavor" is what is made between flavors so it’s a bit of what’s on the way out and bit of what’s on the way in.
Root beer was one of the best ones
OP is out there doing God’s work.
my favorites are root beer and butterscotch what’s wrong with me lol
I admire your petty vengeance.
Hahaha, rootbeer is my absolute favorite! If you had given me blue raspberry and rootbeer I’d feel I’d won the lollipop lottery
Root beer and butterscotch aren’t common flavours of lollipops here, especially while growing up. We had lemon, lime, orange and cherry.
😝 Same!
My setting the world on fire was saying, "have a great day!" as sweetly, nicely and genuinely as possible to rude customers in my coffee shop.
(Nearly got punched out by a lunatic for it though. Shout out to my coworker for trying to throw hands with said costumer on my behalf.)
💀💀💀💀oh hell naa. You’re funny. Do it again
This belongs in r chaotic neutral. As all things in balance should be.
I did this when I was a bagger at a grocery store. If you were nice to me I would bag your stuff with care. If your a douche well then your soap is going in the bag with your meat, I hope it fucking leaks lol
You should switch all the wrappers
[removed]
Omfg are you me??
If the kids are good – two of the same, tasty flavor.
If the kids are fine – two of the same, neutral flavor.
If the kids or parents are shits? One good flavor, one bad flavor, watch the world burn.
I worked at a place that did free gift wrapping. I would beautifully wrap gifts in the ugliest prints/colors I could find if people were jerks.
I used to manage a storage facility. When people came in acting like assholes I’d rent them spots Wayyyyyy at the back of the building so they had to move their shit further.
I’m a CNA and when a mean ass patient is done being rude to me and asks for snacks, I give them the smashed up saltines/graham crackers. Have fun eating it
Haha I bet it causes a bunch of drama too
This is actually super comical. Now the rude parent has to deal with the two kids fighting over who gets the good sucker and who gets the crappy one. Hilarious.
My kids ask for the butterscotch ones
You hate butterscotch? Give em to me 🥲
Chaotic neutral at its finest. You’re not robbing the bank, but you are robbing parents of peace. Respect. 🔥😂(PS. I got this word from a 7 year old, i dont know how he got to know the word though)
Ahh jokes on you because root beer is my favorite! 😂
I’m polite to anyone that’s helping me, but the rootbeer and butterscotch flavors were always my top two flavors for lollipops.
I love butterscotch dum dums
My brother and I would have fought over the root beer and butterscotch lollipops! We love those. I don’t remember a cotton candy one, but I always let him have the blue raspberry. Never been a fan of that flavor myself.
[deleted]
The story is missing one thing: that to polite parents, you give two root beer flavored lollipops. And watch as the world bursts into an even bigger flame.
Jokes on you i LOVE butterscotch
That is some petty rage, but I’m here for it.
Jokes on you. Root beer and butterscotch are my favorites. While you’re at it, I’ll take the black jelly beans too. 😉 😉
Root beer lollipops are the best
My daughter, not so eloquently, told the bank teller to stick his lollipop up his ass. She had just been told never to accept candy from a stranger and unfortunately used a term my husband had said before. She’s 50 now, so we laugh about it.
Root beer and butterscotch have always been my favorite!! Lol
I always got the fruity flavored lollies. Was I a good kid?
Micro Anarchy – I love it.
Punishing kids for their parents actions…nice.
Root beer was always my favorite flavor.
What is the purpose of the bank lollipop and when did that start? Is it only an American thing? Does every bank have a stash of lollipops across the world? Who runs big lollipop?
Jokes on you. I love root beer and butterscotch and don’t like the blue
You drove through the bank???? Carnage.
As someone who likes root beer and hates blue raspberry, I think you forgot to account for siblings having different tastes
I’ve worked in banking for years and never thought to do this… brilliant
Jokes on you butterscotch is my favorite so shut up and deal with my shitty parents. I have to.
jokes on you, i liked the rootbeer lollipops better.
This is the best kind of petty
As the chaotic little-brother-turned-uncle with twin nieces, for the first 5 years of their lives I would get them two of the same present in different colors. I do not know what either of their favorite colors are. Knowing and buying one of their favorites but not the other would have been intentionally cruel.
They are old enough now that they have distinct interests, so I can buy them things based on their individuality. But for a few years I just tossed grenades into my sister’s home because I wasn’t hitting my myself Sarah, I was never the one hitting myself!
You’re the devil! Not because you give different flavors, but because you don’t like root beer or butterscotch flavored lollipops. What kind of monster are you??
Y’all got lollipops at the bank?
This is funny as a mom was in the bank I was at with her kids and said "you all get mystery flavors because I am tired of you fighting"
Blue raspberry and root beer is savage. Practically ‘Sophie’s Choice’ recreated.
We would’ve gotten along because I love butterscotch and hate cotton candy.
I get the petty joy of seeing kids fight over candy, I used to hate root beer and would trade it for something better when I was younger. It’s funny how something so small can stir up chaos, especially when kids argue over flavors they don’t even care about.
I can totally understand the satisfaction of giving rude customers a weird combo like that. It’s harmless fun that adds a bit of spice to your day. Honestly, it’s just a clever way to mess with them without causing any real trouble.
I used to get the lollipops and called out the first flavor. The first kid to claim it got it. And so on until there were none left. Sometimes they traded because kid 1 liked the flavor kid 2 got and so on.
Pro tip: Say you only had one left after you’ve already sent it out to the car. 🤣
This is a world I had no idea existed.
I have never seen a drive through bank… I’ve never been in a bank that had lollipops.
What is this?
As a kid, I was just happy to get candy🤷
It would be even better if you gave one kid something good like Chupa Chups, and gave the other one of those generic flat ones.
But rootbeer is the second best flavor behind butterscotch.
Root beer and blue razz is so fucking brutal, I’m fucking dying. Pretty sure world wars have been started over less.
Jokes on you, I love root beer
I think it’s sweet that you still give lollipops to the rude parents’ kids.
Damn butterscotch was the best
You are the hero we need
Just give em one, even when they have two kids. “Sorry one per customer “
When I worked at Ulta I used to give rude clients their change in the most asinine combinations of bills and coins I could think of. Think 4.75 in 15 pennies, 2 nickels, 5 dimes, 12 quarters and a 1 dollar bill. It kept me sane for sure.
That’s hilarious. Both of my kiddos have ARFID. They both love root beer and butterscotch lollies but hate pizza and chicken nuggets. Blows my mind as a former-child.
This is wild because butterscotch and rootbeer are both my two most favorite flavors.
I have two brothers. We have names, but nobody bothered. We were "the boys". We fought over everything.
If you gave us there different flavors, we might have found a way to convince ourselves we each got a good one.
If you gave us two the same and one different, that would have been a source of conflict for days. Open arguing would slowly subside into slow burning resentment simmering under the surface until the next injustice sets it all off again.
I always passed off the Susan B. Anthony coins and the $2 to douchy people
A few years ago we were sent a huge box of shitty plastic slide whistles to hand out to the kids. They make the worst shrieking sound, and were immediately hidden in a storage closet. Every once in a while a particularly awful customer comes through with children, and it brings me so much joy to loudly tell the kiddos I have a special prize for them…

Jokes on you there are no bad lollipops when you’re 6
lol at your edit because butterscotch and root beer are the only flavors I like
I raised two kids so the bank teller would send two lollipops. I’d always tell my kids, "That’s weird! They sent 2 for me and none for you!"
(I’d do the same thing you’re doing OP)
The only thing better than root beer and butterscotch lollipops is both at the same time.
My brother’s favorite is rootbeer and mine is butterscotch. We had dibs on those flavors if it was one of the two we got. We would’ve loved if my mom was a bitch to you
Unpopular opinion: sour apple is the best
OP. I like your style. I’d give you a lemon (my favorite flavor) lollipop.
root beer and blue raspberry. oh that’s dastardly.
My daughter always asked for a “yeldow” one, please.
r/pettyrevenge
I remember I vomited after eating a butterscotch lollipop when I was super little. To this day, I avoid all butterscotch.
Hell yeah! Imagine how great this world would be if everyone was this cool.
