We all know beer, chips and pizza are "extras" and bad for you - but somehow muffins, WHICH ARE CLEARLY CAKES, are marketed as a health food! “Lollies” refers to any kind of confectionery – M&Ms, Starburst, candy teeth, jelly babies, etc etc etc. I myself am often the victim of free Minties (OK, I don’t know what the North American equivalent would be) at office meetings.
