Abstract

A candy-holding and liquid-dispensing apparatus is provided with a housing, a liquid reservoir disposed in the housing, a volume of potable liquid, such as water, disposed within the liquid reservoir, a spray mechanism fluidly coupled to the liquid reservoir, a candy holder coupled to the housing, and a piece of candy supported by the candy holder, the piece of candy being supported by the candy holder so that the piece of candy may be inserted into the mouth of the person while the person is holding the housing. The liquid reservoir may be disposed within a housing having a cylindrical shape and composed of a plastic material having a red color so that the housing resembles a fire extinguisher. The piece of candy may be provided with a hot flavor so that the potable liquid may be sprayed from the liquid reservoir into the mouth of the person to cool the person's mouth after the hot-flavored piece of candy has been tasted by the person.

a housing having a liquid reservoir disposed therein, said housing being shaped to resemble a fire extinguisher and having a hole formed therein, said hole being in fluid communication with said liquid reservoir;
a volume of potable liquid disposed within said liquid reservoir;
a stopper associated with said hole formed in said housing, said stopper being movable between a first position in which said stopper plugs said hole formed in said housing to prevent said potable liquid from leaking out of said liquid reservoir and said stopper being movable to a second position in which additional potable liquid may be added to said liquid reservoir through said hole in said housing;
a spray mechanism coupled to said housing at a point above said liquid reservoir, said spray mechanism comprising a spray nozzle and a spray tube and causing said potable liquid to be sprayed from said liquid reservoir through said spray nozzle;
a lollipop holder pivotably coupled to said housing, said lollipop holder being pivotable between a first position and a second position angularly displaced from said first position;
and
a lollipop supported by said lollipop holder, said lollipop being held in a substantially upright position when said lollipop holder is in said first position and said lollipop being held at a non-upright position when said lollipop holder is in said second position, said lollipop having a candy portion with a hot flavor so that said potable liquid may be sprayed from said interior portion of said liquid reservoir into the mouth of a person to cool the person's mouth after the hot-flavored candy portion has been tasted by the person.
