Lollipop, a piece of hard, sugar mass placed on a stick, is one of the most popular types of sweets. These treats have a long and interesting history. Twigs dipped in honey in the Stone Age can be considered a prototype of the lollipop. This way of getting used to a sweet and sticky substance turned out to be very convenient, because it allowed to avoid getting hands dirty. The ancient civilizations also took over this way of tasting. Colorful candies on a stick, as we know it today, appeared in mass production in the early 20th century. Nowadays, sweets' manufactories where lollipops are made in front of the customer, are very popular.
