Lollipop sticks

Lollipop sticks are small, thin tubes, usually made of wood or plastic, that are used to hold and handle lollipop-shaped candies. These sticks allow the candy to be consumed easily and cleanly, preventing hands from getting dirty and making them easier to handle.

The origin of lollipop sticks is linked to the development of lollipops as popular sweets in Europe and America, where a stick began to be used to hold the hardened candy. Over time, this utensil has become a standard for the manufacturing and presentation of this type of candy.

Regarding their properties, the sticks are usually resistant, safe for contact with food, and of an adequate size so that lollipops are comfortable to hold. Biodegradable wood models are becoming increasingly popular due to their lower environmental impact.

In the context of Hispanic American gastronomy, lollipop sticks are also known by other names such as sucker sticks, candy sticks, or simply treat sticks, depending on the country.
