The word "Lollipop" was reportedly first used by the English in 1784 to describe hard candy on a stick.   According to the National Confectionary Association, was probably created by cavemen who maintained beehives and collected honey by stick.   Not wanting to waste the sweet residue, the cavemen most likely licked the stick and thus the first unintentional lollipop, or, candy on a stick, was born.                  It has been reported and verified through archeological discoveries that ancient Arabs, Chinese and Egyptians produced fruit and nut confections, which were "candied" in honey; the honey served as a preservative.   The sticks were probably inserted into these treats to make them easier to eat. Sold Individually
