Unbranded lollipops

Yeah, you need hive to afford branded lollies 😃😃

Hive branded Lollipops. Honey flavor. Not the worst marketing idea, get the little ones used to the brand logo so they connect it with something positive when Hive takes over the world.

I can imagine a bunch of intrepid youths many years from now uncovering boxes of hive lollipops in an underground lair and thinking - what was this Hive?

But hungry as they are, their bodies craving for cheap and fast energy, they suck it anyway. And suddenly, a door opens, and Cyborg-AZ invites them inside. It's the secret lair of the last bastion of resistance against the AI world government that has brought nothing but peace, happiness and prosperity to all species and the planet. An underground network, with hubs all over the world, interconnected and yet independent, fighting against the perfection with words and codes.

Hehe, I like the sound of that. Fighting against bland homogenous "perfection"

Maybe laced with Fentanyl from Vene?

I was thinking H as it's easier to dose without being lethal. The thing is that we don't know who is going to eat the Lollipops, so we don't know the weight and condition. Hence, it was to be a very small dose, and that's tricky with Fentanyl. Also, Heroin has the same initial letter as Hive, which supports the marketing further.

The world is supposedly overpopulated, so maybe err on the side of a little more?

Survival of the most resilient. Decimation of those who can't control their urges for sugar. That's a convincing argument.
