The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Lollipop began in Austria. A confectioner made hard candy on a stick. The product was simple and portable. Children wanted them. The name stuck because it did. Today the brand appears in over six thousand tracked outlets worldwide. It ranks ninth in Baby, Kids & Toys categories. The lollipop remains unchanged in essence. Candy on a stick. That was the invention. That is still the business. Nothing more was needed.
