THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Thursday Oct. 18, 1973 Page 7 Cullowhee Is Home Of World's Prize Sucker by Erik Kirzinger What weighs 142 pounds, is about four feet tall by three feet wide, and is made of sugar, karo syrup, and red food coloring? Give up? Well believe it or not, it's Cullowhee's latest claim to fame: "the world's largest lollipop." I must admit that when I approached this assignment, I was skeptical as to the validity of a lead concerning "the world's largest lollipop" being on the WCU campus, I rider expected to knock on a door asking to see the "world's biggest sucker" and in turn be lead to a mirror. However, much to my amazement I did have a chance not only to see this virtual monster of a lollipop, but also to interview one of the proud co- owners. This past Saturday night three WCU students; Jimmy Rutledge, Ifevid Justice, and Gerald Spau,gh went to Gatlinburg, Tenn. It was sometime around 12:30 a.m. when they decided to enter a candy store located on the main street to buy some candv apples. It was there that they saw "it." "I wouldn't exactly have called it 'love at first sight,' " said Jimmy Rutledge when he tried to explain what attracted him to the sucker. "We all agreed that it was not an everyday item and that we had to buy it," he added, The candy store owner quoted them a price of $125, but after a lot of bickering the price was finally lowered to $40. When asked what his parents thought of their purchase Rutledge said that his didn't know, and that he wasn't in any hurry to tell them. The temptation to ask Rutledge if the future of the lollipop would include being eaten was answered with a s;irprised "no!" He said that for the time being that they would just write "Guiness Bood of World Records" and make their claim for the honor of owning "the world's largest lollipop." He went on to say that when he woke up Sunday morning that he almost hoped that it wasn't there, but no-.v that he's not sorry in the least. * A student that happened to be passing Rutledge's room stuck his head in the door and said, "they're all a bunch of suckers." Rutledge laughed and said that he had heard that "the world's largest stuffed animal" was for sale in Atlanta. When asked what he was doing next weekend, Rutledge replied "Going to Atlanta, of course," October 24 Annual Fall Feast For some twenty years the Cullowhee Lions Club has sponsored an Annual Feast in the Fall to help support its programs of local service.
