The Great Idea
Chupa Chups Inventor Enric Bernat thought, do you know what the world needs? The world needs a product that "would be like eating a sweet with a fork". And with that, he brought us the first ever lollipop.

First name of Chupa Chups was… GOL?
Imagine this: the sweet looks a little bit like a soccer ball, and your open mouth is a soccer net? Weirdly, it didn’t stick, and the name was changed to CHUPS in 1960.

You guys renamed your favourite lollipop
We had a jingle which went a little something like this…. Get something sweet to lick, lick, lick, like a Chups (Chupa un dulce rameoe, chupa chupa chupa un CHUPS). Everyone loved it so much, it gave us the final name “Chupa Chups”.

The biggest Chupa Chups lollipop EVER
Originally made as a gift for the formed Barcelona FC footballer Hristro Stoichkov, this ginormous lollipop weighed in at a huge 735g. It would take hours, maybe days to finish it…. it’s still produced nowadays, just in case you wanted to take on a challenge.
