Since a tongue depressor already looks like a popsicle stick, why not have a little flavor on the reminds a kid of a popsicle. Then, having on stuck down someone’s throat might be a little more enjoyable.

that is so not true..wooden sticks do help in depressing tongue but used in large scale case check ups..but surgical cases we use metal tongue depressors.
