Etymology
The word 'lollipop' is believed to have originated in the early 20th century, with its exact roots being somewhat unclear. One theory suggests it comes from the Romani word 'loli phaba', which means 'red apple'. The term initially referred to a type of candy made from boiled sugar and corn syrup on a stick. Over time, as candy-making techniques improved and diversified, the popularity of lollipops grew, leading to the variety of flavors and styles we see today. Lollipops gained mainstream recognition in the United States around the 1920s. Manufacturers began to produce them in mass quantities, with colorful wrappers and innovative flavors, thus cementing their place in American pop culture. By the mid-20th century, the lollipop became a symbol of childhood, often associated with outings to fairs or sweet treats received during celebrations.
