Chupa Chup
The humble lollipop has come a long way. Before the Chupa Chup started throwing parties and orbiting the earth, it was just a humble pop from rural Spain. Before that, its ancestors were being suckled on the top of a Penny-farthings somewhere. And before that, they adorned the tops of pencils while the Civil War was won.
The Chupa Chup itself is not without a history. Its early incarnation was in fruity form, the classic strawberry and orange amongst others. There was also cola, which, while not a fruit, was a very popular beverage at the time. Let's not forget the 'milkies'; choc-banana, strawberries and cream and choc-vanilla.
The latest breeds hark back to the original fruits, watermelon, apple and the questionable peach yoghurt, either way they are better than the suggested 'Polenta e osei' (see facebook: what new flavour chupa chup group should there be?).
Despite some questionable taste, The Chup is still well loved for its ability to silence toddlers, shut up teens and contribute to cavitites. After 50 years on the job, we salute its spherical form.
