A young girl by the name of Alina Morse, created the idea of Zollipops at the age of seven years old. She went into her savings and used $7,500 that she had from her grandparents and she went all in. With the help of her father (the co-creator of 5-hour energy), her idea makes not only kids like herself happy, but I think parents around the world would be happy as well. This idea was so big that she was actually invited to the White House to present the candy at the “White House Easter Egg Roll”, pretty cool right? In my opinion, this was just a great idea. She saw a problem where kids loved something that can cause a problem for adults. So, with this issue she also saw an opportunity and she created a product that makes both sides of the situation happy. Kids will be happy because they get what they love, and parents will be happier that their kids will be healthier. Something that Alina does that I think is awesome, is that she also gives back. 10 percent of her earnings she donates to the efforts of lowering childhood tooth decay. You can find Zollipops at a store such as Whole Foods or even on Amazon.
Very inspiring to see the work of a young person being recognized. But we cant ignore the help she must have gotten through her father’s success.
A good idea that she saw could be profitable, which turned out to be true. I’d definitely say she nailed it because she even got invited to the White House and her candy was featured in the Easter egg hunt there as well, which is like the pinnacle for candy success.
So clever! And marketable for being healthy for your teeth. They’re made with Stevia and Xylitol, right? Those ingredients are both really good for you. A selling point for parents!
