history[edit]

The word "confectioneries" should be replaced by the word "confections". Also I strongly agree with the comment immediately below, that the two mentions of George Smith is a redundancy, and that one of the mentions should be removed.

history[edit]

The 2 paragraphs in the history section are nearly redundant and should be revised to 1 paragraph. 98.197.249.231 (talk) 21:37, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

tootsie roll pops[edit]

That paragraph about the owl should at least be rephrased; it looks as though it was just stuck in there randomly, and has odd syntax.

Porque la ballena no come?Porque va-llena. (: BADAPISSSSSSSS

Romani?[edit]

From the Romani Language article:

Romani has lent many words to English, including posh, pal, dukes (meaning fists, as in the expression "put up your dukes"), and lollipop.

Is this true? 74.116.142.240 16:05, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

yeah, from what I remember, there's a word that's very similar to lolli that means red, and something similar to pop that means apple. Travelling romani sold caramel apples, leading to lollipop. -- TheMightyQuill 04:00, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I gather it may be loli phabai (red apple) everything2 cites a published work. Hakluyt bean 03:02, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lollypop is simply from the sound imagination when it is consumed. Lolly is the sound of licking and pop is the sound of sucking/ smacking. Even people don't make sound noticeable but if they do, it will sound like that. That's why it has been called lollypop. (Wilson20072000 (talk) 01:24, 13 March 2019 (UTC)).[reply]

"Pop" Song[edit]

Should'nt there be some kind of referance to the "Lolipop" song? The one that goes "lollypop lollypop oh lolly lolly pop", because i can't seem to find who did the damn thing! Please help. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.250.130.215 (talk • contribs) .

The song's called "My Boy Lollipop", it was performed by Millie, and I put an entry on Lollipop (disambiguation) for it. Fourohfour 10:32, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks... but no, thats not it. The one I was looking for was the song "Lollipop" by The Chordettes.69.250.130.215 10:26, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was probably thinking of the same melody, but assumed it was the intro to "My Boy Lollipop". They flow together quite naturally, and must have got welded together in my head at some stage. Sorry :-( Fourohfour 13:15, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

== Worldwide t comments here about why the tag was added. Since the article seems to address the subject in the context of several different parts of the world, I am removing it now. --Ginkgo100^talk 19:28, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

More exotic[edit]

I have a problem with this line: Some lollipops contain fillings, such as bubble gum or soft candy. More exotic lollipops may have insects such as mealworm larvae embedded. The definition for the adjective "exotic" is (according to wiktionary:exotic)

foreign, with the connotation of excitingly foreign.
non-native to the eco-system

What constitutes foreign depends on your location, mealworm larvae filled lollies might be common in some parts of the world. Therefore, I'd propose a wording like this In some countries (this would be wiser to replace with an exact location) lollipops might be filled with insects such as mealworm. Can anyone find information where exactly does this happen? Puchiko (Talk-email) 19:42, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's in the United States. The 2nd link of the 3 links given as references explains a bit about why this one US company is putting insects in lollipops. So basically, it's not exotic in the sense of non-Western, it's just exotic in the sense of unusual. But, I think that the sentence is good the way it is. Haplolology ^Talk/_{Contributions} 20:51, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I reworded the sentence per this discussion. --Ginkgo100^talk 18:20, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

lollipops where originally created to be a sugar overdose item but when it came to the taste test it was said to be an amazing taste and was then put on the market as a sweet primarily for adults but then had a sugar reducement for the better. 82.219.56.13 (talk) 09:44, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

History of Lollipop[edit]

From a personal history interview, the first 1-oz suckes came from the Orson Gygi company in Salt Lake City in the late 1960s and early 1970s. There probably is some supporting evidence in Deseret News or Salt Lake Tribune if you're interested. -Jmjosh90 17:29, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pierrot Gourmand[edit]

The famous Pierrot Gourmand PG, the french "Sucette" (Lollipop in french) needs to be referenced here. It was created in 1924 and many believe, in the French speaking world, that it is the first worldwide contemporary invention of the lollipop. 2601:600:877F:DED0:2C1A:BE74:BB71:B16 (talk) 04:16, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
