About National Lollipop Day
Ends: Jul 20, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
National Lollipop Day celebrates the lollipop, although the origin of the candy is unknown. What is known is the lollipop first appeared in the late 18th century.
The story is that the current-day iconic candy on a stick is attributed to George Smith, a partner at confection manufacturer Bradley Smith Company, who began selling lollipops in 1908. The company trademarked "Lollipop" on October 13, 1931. Legend says the candy received its name to honor a famous racehorse named Lolly Pops. Racine Confectioner's Machinery Co. was the first to automate the lollipop-making process.
But there is a glitch in this story popularized on the internet.
Smith couldn't trademark "lollipop" because the word was already in the dictionary. Lollipop is described in this early 19th-century printing as a "hard sweetmeat sometimes on a stick." The entry was over 100 years old in 1931.
So, Smith didn't invent the lollipop or the word. However, he did manage to market it, and like Ray Kroc with burgers and McDonald's, marketing made Smith the lollipop king. Ultimately, he did get the trademark.
Happy Lollipop Day!
