A lollipop, pop, lolly, sucker, dum-dum,or sticky-pop is a type of confectionery consisting mainly of hardened, flavoured sucrose with corn syrup mounted on a stick and intended for sucking or licking.[1] They are available in many flavours and shapes.

Lollipops are available in a variety of colors and flavors, particularly fruit flavors. In Europe, especially the Nordic countries, Germany and the Netherlands, salmiakki-flavoured lollipops are also available, but these are largely unknown in other parts of the world. With numerous companies producing lollipops, the candy now comes in dozens of flavors and many different shapes. They range from small ones which can be bought by the hundred and are often given away for free at banks, barbershops, etc., to very large ones made out of candy canes twisted into a circle. Lollipops were invented in Australia.

Some lollipops contain fillings, such as bubble gum or soft candy. More exotic lollipops may have insects such as mealworm larvae embedded.[2]

Some lollipops have been marketed for use as diet aids, although their effectiveness is untested, and anecdotal cases of weight loss may be due to the power of suggestion.[3]
