Hilariously, from20 had to clarify that it wasn’t actually a condom wrapper but a lollipop, and on closer inspection, a stick can be seen on the screen, which fits the “Eye Candy” title.
just lollipop🍭😎 that’s it💪 https://t.co/Ij17GMUhzO

Fans pointed out that the way the “lollipop” was designed was definitely done to make people think it was a condom on first glance.
the way you can’t tell at all that this is a lollipop and that’s obviously 100% on purpose https://t.co/TEsAw9oCuI
