Why Customised Lollipops Make Perfect Promo Treats

US confectioner George Smith is generally credited as the inventor of the modern lollipop. Before the lollipop, most forms of lolly were consumed with the hands, often from paper wrapping which made them quite difficult to eat on the move. Smith's lollipop was innovative because it meant the candy was easy to eat without getting sticky fingers while you enjoyed the sights and sounds of the city or carnival. It is for this same reason that promotional lollipops became the go-to treat for expos and corporate events -- the stick means they can be eaten on the move with minimal fuss, AND they can be decorated with unique logo branding.
