A majority of us know them as lollipops or suckers. Whatever you call them, there’s one thing we know for sure----they’re delicious. In honor of National Lollipop Day, we've shared some fun (and strange) facts about the popular, hard, confectionery candy. Here are 10 random facts about lollipops:

1. The largest lollipop was created by See’s Candies

See’s Candies created the massive sugary giant on July 18, 2012 in Burlingame, California. The 7,003-pound, chocolate-flavored lollipop was 4 feet 8.75 inches in length, 3 feet 6 inches in width, and 5 feet 11 inches in height. (To put this in perspective, the lollipop is 1 inch taller than Kendall Jenner!)

10. Lollipops are medicine...well, kinda

In 2011, it was reported that moms across the U.S allegedly ordered lollipops that had been licked by kids infected with chickenpox. The intention of ordering the infected lollipops was to introduce the virus to their own children in hopes of building immunity and avoiding vaccinations….that’s definitely not a fun treat to receive.
