Have you noticed that hard candy mostly lollipops is just you adding flavor to your saliva and you just swallow it?

Think of it, you suck on the candy but what you eat is your candy flavored saliva, you are just giving your saliva flavor and drinking it, the only way to avoid this is to bite the candy right off the bat but even then you are just going to end up with a ball of saliva and flavor chunks, a lollipop you don't even keep it in your mouth, you just go slurp and get a mouthful of flavored saliva, so are you eating candy or is the candy just a finesse to feed you your own saliva, now gummies and soft candies like taffy is the real stuff.
