Alina Morse was only 7 years of age when she said, “why isn’t there a candy that is good for you.” Now as a 14-year-old and multiple millionaire she answered that question with Zollipops. Zollipops is a candy company that makes healthy candies such as lollipops, taffy, and bubblegum. The secret to her candy is that she uses xylitol and erythritol which simply put is a sugar-free sweetener that raises the PH level in your mouth to fight acids that cause cavities, they also strengthen your teeth enamel. Alina says it took 2 years to develop the first products, she spoke with dentists and dental hygienists to make the perfect candy. She offers many flavors like strawberry, pineapple, and orange. She is also very concerned about the community 10% of all profits go to school organizations to make school lunches healthier. Alina is not planning on stopping with Zollipops she plans on attending college, to study business so she can learn more and open more businesses. Alina has stated that what drives her to do all this work is that she wants to see a healthy plant where people can enjoy delicious treats and still be healthy. Alina has taught me that no matter my age if and I work hard and try hard enough I can do anything I put my mind to even if it is opening a candy company.
Zollipop is definitely something I would want to try and see what it is like. I think it is cool how she donates some profit to charity, and that she wants to continue on to college even after creating a successful business.
