The iconic Chupa Chups lollipops

For more than half a century, Chupa Chups lollipops, which originated in Spain, have honored sweet moments for millions of people around the world. This colorful and tasty sweet snack is not only a delicious treat, but also part of Spanish culture and tradition. Here's more about these iconic lollipops, whose name comes from the Spanish verb "chupar", which means "to suck."

Chupa Chups is a brand that began its path to fame in Spain in 1958, when founder Enric Bernat launched the first lollipop in a plastic wrapper. Bernat's idea was simple, but revolutionary - creating a lollipop that you can take with you anywhere without worrying about getting your hands dirty or sugar sticky.

The name "Chupa Chups" was chosen deliberately. Enric Bernat wanted it to be short, easy to pronounce and remember in different languages, and have a fun pronunciation. It is interesting to note that the word "chupa" comes from the Spanish verb "chupar," which means "to suck." It is this etymology that gives the lollipops their distinctive charm.

Chupa Chups lollipops quickly gained popularity in Spain and then around the world. Their distinctive logo - a flower with the word Chupa Chups - has become a symbol of sweet pleasure for children and adults. The brand is famous for its wide range of flavors and colors, from traditional ones like strawberry and lemon to more exotic ones like mango and cola.

What makes Chupa Chups lollipops so special? In addition to their delicious taste and colorful design, the brand has always engaged outstanding artists and designers to create unique packaging designs. As a result, each lollipop becomes not only a sweet treat, but also a small piece of art in the hands of their consumers.

Today, more than 56 years after their inception, Chupa Chups lollipops still enjoy enduring popularity around the world. Their sweet history from Spain has become part of global culture and sweet memories. For many, with each taste of Chupa Chups, they reveal a piece of Spanish pleasure and joie de vivre.
