ABSTRACT:
A temperature indicator which in one preferred embodiment comprises a translucent or transparent confectionery head having a cavity therein. A flexible elongated resilient stem, preferably formed of a plastic material has one end thereof, which is provided with a plurality of small holes, inserted into the cavity. Each of the holes is at least partially filled with a temperature sensitive material capable of melting at a temperature typically within the range from 96.degree. to 110.degree. F
With each material mounted within a hole being adapted to melt at a different temperature within the aforesaid range. The material filling each hole within the stem is preferably of a color which contrasts with the material in the other holes for ease of identification. One or more of the materials in each hole will melt depending upon the temperature of the individual ingesting the lollipop. Each temperature sensitive material is completely non-toxic and may be ingested together with the confectionery head without any danger of harming the user. The confectionery member may also take the form of a pacifier.
The holes in the one end of the stick may either be partially or completely filled with temperature sensitive material. Alternatively the stick may be provided with grooves enabling the melting material to be drained away from the holes. Those temperature sensitive materials which have melted are easy to identify due to the fact that the melted material substantially completely leaves the holes in the stick causing the colored material to effectively disappear, leaving only the hole.
