It seems that Hens Party lollies are not just for the Bride to Be and her guests. Last month little Suri Cruise (Five year old daughter to Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise) was photographed with a box of jelly gummies in her hand leaving a New York restaurant. But they weren’t your traditional gummi lollies; they were adult lollies shaped like... well... peckas!
The photos, taken at New York's famous ‘dessert only’ restaurant Serendipity also show Suri unable to take her eyes away from the box. Many could say Suri is growing up too quickly but how did she get her hands on this box of gummi peckas traditionally sold for Hens Parties, Hens Nights or Bachelorette Parties.
Katie who recently guest appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres show explained she thought they were ‘Swedish Fish’ (fish-shaped jellies) and that she initially hadn't realised what Suri had picked up in the restaurant as she waited for a table with her daughter.
Katie went onto explain “Recently, I took her to get ice cream in New York at this place called Serendipity that we go to all the time. It’s for kids”
"We go in and we are waiting for a table and she grabs some gummies that are boy part gummies. I was horrified."
Katie had trouble saying "penis" on television.So she spelled it out to Ellen, saying: "P-e-n-i-s gummies. I said, oh wow those aren't Swedish Fish."Ellen, 53, joked: "Even I know that, I know the difference there!"
Katie continued: "They are called p-e-n-i-s gummies and they look like it. She was holding the box and I was like okay, wow we don’t need that right now. Because I thought if I said 'put that back!' and then she's going to say, 'what is this?' And I really didn’t want to have that conversation.
Many are now branding Katie as a bad mother. What do you think, is it so wrong that Suri had the box in her hand or ate one? We sell Hens Night treats including pecka pops (lollypop shaped like a pecka) should we restrict who we sell to or should it be the parents responsibility that they monitor what their kids eat or at least explain so they understand??
