Alina Morse, the founder of Zollipops, was only seven years old when she came up with the idea for her now incredibly successful candy company.
Alina and her dad took a trip to the bank to deposit a check and as they were leaving the bank teller offered up a lollypop to Alina, her dad told her not to eat the lollipop because lollipops have too much sugar in them and it was going to rot her teeth out of her mouth. So then and there Alina and her Dad got to thinking, why can’t there be a lollipop that tastes good and won’t rot your teeth out? The idea for Zollypop was born. Alina and her Dad came up with a sugar-free, gluten-free, vegetarian, non GMO lollipop made with only natural flavors and it has become hugely successful. After receiving so much positive feedback on their lollypop Lollypop expanded their product Line to also include other sugar free candies for customers to enjoy as well!
Zollypop has made it their mission to save as many smilies as possible so they have partnered with the Million Smiles Initiative to help fight childhood tooth decay which is America’s single most chronic childhood disease.
Alina and her dad definitely saw the issue of candy being bad for teeth and came up with a creative solution that turned into a business idea! It is impressive that they were able to engineer a solution to this that also has many other benefits such as the lollipops being sugar-free, vegetarian, gluten free and non-GMO. Alina’s passion is clearly for people to be able to enjoy candy without sacrificing their smile.
I like that Alina came up with an idea of making better lollipops instead of whining about not having one from the bank. Not to mention that she actually followed through with the idea. Contrary to her dad’s opinion, it’s ok to have bank lollipops. There is way less sugar in them then there is in stuff like cake and ice cream, which kids have too. the key is moderation when it comes to sweets
