A lollipop is a type of confectionery 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 confectionery, candied honey. Some lollipops contain fillings, such as bubble gum (Blow Pops) or Tootsie Rolls (Tootsie Roll Pops). Notable brand names include Chupa Chups.
The term lollipop was first recorded in England in 1769 (shorter oxford english dictionary, 1973, p1234) to denote a sweetmeat consisting chiefly of sugar or treacle. there is some evidence that the word stems from the romany language
