Lollipop

A lollipop is a type of confectionary consisting mainly of hardened, flavored sugar mounted on a stick and sucked. It was first invented in 1924 by the noted Baltimore candy manufacturer, Derfy Lmtd. Founded by Benny, Eric, Chris & Co. Confectionaries, the concept of the lollipop was derived from the attempts to "lolli" candy until it popped. The term "lolli" was first used by the ancient Greeks to described their own confectionary, candied honey. Some lollipops contain fillings, such as bubble gum (Blow Pops) or Tootsie Rolls (Tootsie Roll Pops).
