Patent ID: 8722121

Claim:
A candy and holder combination, comprising: an elongated candy comprising an exterior surface; and a candy holder removably receiving the elongated candy therein, the candy holder comprising a handle portion and a top portion cooperating to define a cavity having a central axis, the handle portion comprising an inner surface, a bottom surface, a lateral first protrusion extending circumferentially around the inner surface and extending into the cavity a first radial distance, and a lateral second protrusion extending circumferentially around the inner surface and extending into the inner cavity a second radial distance that is greater than the first radial distance, the second protrusion positioned in closer proximity to the bottom surface than the first protrusion, the top portion comprising a lip extending laterally into the cavity to define an opening through which the elongated candy is received in the candy holder, wherein the elongated candy extends into the cavity so that the exterior surface contacts the first protrusion to create a first interface having a first coefficient of friction and the exterior surface contacts the second protrusion to create a second interface having a second coefficient of friction greater than the first coefficient of friction and at least a portion of the elongated candy extends from the top portion.
