Who invented blow pops

When the Charms Blow Pop lollipops were first introduced the world had never experienced another lollipop quite like it. This lollipop was surely original and unique, as it required you to first patiently enjoy the candy shell before you could even think about delving into it's chewy bubblegum center.

Eating a Charms Blow Pop can take some time. Unless you wait until the candy portion of the lollipop is thin enough to bite right into it and mixing it's sweet candy shards with the bubble gum.

This makes it much harder to blow bubbles with. Lollipops have been a quintessential part of the candy world ever since ancient times. We think of them as an old fashioned and nostalgic candy, but their very beginning reaches farther back than you might think.

Many archaeologists believe that the ancient Arabs, Egyptians and Chinese cultures all had some form of a lollipop. Many of the very first forms of candy would have been made with fruits and nuts and of course honey. Their candies would not have been hard like they are produced today. Archaeologists believe that their forms of candies would have been much softer and therefore would have left their hands very sticky.

I imagine the idea of lollipops were partially to become a more convenient way and less messy way of enjoying their sweets. I bet whoever thought of the very first lollipop grabbed a twig or a branch, and stuck their big wad of their honey infused candy on the end of the stick. After catching on to a few people at a the time, the word probably spread that this was the easiest way to enjoy their ancient, sweet and sticky concoctions.

Here in North America the Lollipop seems to have been enjoyed forever. Some historians believe that the idea of lollipops took off especially during the civil war making them a very convenient and fast way for soldiers to build up their energy levels. But a man by the name of George Smith, coming from New Haven Connecticut, claims that he was the very first inventor of the lollipop. George Smith says that his invention of the lollipop was even named after his favorite race horse who happened to have the name of "Lolly Pop".
