Lollies and Memories

It always makes me smile whenever I see a child licking lollies especially if it's the big and colourful one with a swirling pattern. I myself have fond memories of eating lollipops and other sweets when I was younger. When my mom packs my lunch, she always includes some sweets in it. Lollipops and chocolate bars are my favourites. She even has a story of me crying one time and the only thing that made me stop was a lollipop.

Lollies are perhaps one of the most popular confectionery products in the world. It appeals to both the young ones and the young at hearts. In fact, lollipops are given as freebies in banks, government agencies and even barber shops for patrons and customers while awaiting their time to be served. It's such a hit that nearby candy shops always run of stocks of favourite brands of lollipops.

The original idea of lollies came from the concept of toffee apples sold on a stick. It's still a big mystery as to how the lollipops of today came to be. One kind of confectionery during the medieval era is closely related to lollipops - boiled sugar and eaten using sticks or spatulas. The boiled sugar dried on some of the sticks but is still edible and can be stored for future consumptions.

Moreover, lollies are also listed as among the best loved snacks of kids and even teenagers. Lollipops are often purchased by the mentioned age group in school events like sports fests, programs, and whatnot. Movie houses also stock up on lollipops and other sweets as they are also their bestsellers other than the traditional popcorns and sodas.

Lollies are also great for party giveaways and events souvenirs. I remember a friend who ordered personalised lollipops for their prenuptial celebration. Companies are often customers of many local candy shops. Lollipops are loved by employees as tokens for company initiated events. Lollipops are also perfect for kiddie events like birthday parties, talent shows, and whatnot.
