Aline Morse at age of seven came up with a unique idea that has continued to heavily shape her life as well as many others. Aline had been taught all her life that lollipops were bad for teeth causing cavities, decay, and bad breath. Yet, Aline loved lollipops and wondered why there had to be so many consequences for eating and enjoying the sweet taste of a lollipop. Thus, this sparked and idea for her to make a lollipop that tastes just as sweet but no longer has the disadvantages of eating so much sugar. She then worked with a food scientist along with her dad to develop a lollipop using a formula that used natural sweeteners such as xylitol and erythritol instead of sugar. Also not only are he candies sugar-free, but they are also gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and non-GMO. By the age of ten Aline had founded and started selling Zolli Candy. Not surprisingly these candies quickly gained popularity and her Zolli Drops, Zolli Toffy, and Zollipops are now sold in over 25,000 stores across the United States.
In addition to running a thriving business, being the CEO, she also launched the Million Smiles Initiative which donates Zollipops to school nationwide and promotes dental health education.
Aline has truly been a fantastic role model for those around the globe. Because of all the good she has contributed through her entrepreneurial efforts she was featured on the cover of Entrepreneur Magazine and invited to the White House by President Obama.
