3Why are lollipop sticks hollow?
It’s actually for a couple of reasons. The first has to do with how lollipops are manufactured. Take the Chupa Chups lollipops—a childhood favorite of mine—for example. When you’ve finished one of these lollipops, you may notice a little square hole toward the end of the stick. The reason for this hole is that the candy’s manufacturers actually melt candy into it. This ensures that the head of the lollipop stays attached to the stick rather than coming loose and falling off of it.
