Nine-year-old Alina has heard her parents say more than once, “Sugar is bad for your teeth.” To her, it seemed like a constant problem she and many other kids were facing, especially in this growing health conscious world. Alina’s father understood this as well, but had a different parental perspective on this sugary subject. As the parent he was frustrated with the ingredients in candy that is frequently around children and understood the dilemma parents faced in giving their children sweets. The problem had finally peaked in Alina’s family after she was offered a lollipop from the teller at a bank and her father told her she could not have it. She turned to her father and suggested the idea that Zollipops would be created on; orally health conscious candy.
As an inventor, who has put many new products on the market, Alina’s father coupled with Alina’s idea to make a successful product. Together, they created a lollipop with all natural ingredients that lowers pH in the mouth leading to better oral health. An acidic pH will result in the decomposition of teeth. Zollipops is the perfect solution.
At such a young age Alina could recognize a problem and create a viable solution. Because of this, she is making money and making a difference through her health conscious product. Just last year she had over $70,000 in sales and was featured on the kid’s edition of Shark Tank. Truly this little entrepreneur has achieved something great with Zollipops.
What a great idea! This little girl proves you do not have to be a certain age to pursue an idea or a business and be successful. I have never heard of orally healthy candy, but this product makes both parents and kids happy. Zollipops can stop the constant argument between parents and kids about wanting candy.
It’s crazy to me how young these kids are and yet they are doing such successful things! Alina understood a problem and then developed a solution, which is the basic fundamentals of entrepreneurship. Although I have not heard of Zollipops, obviously some people have because of her profit of over $70,000.
This is a great idea! How many times have we all heard “Sugary candy rots your teeth”? Alina and her dad really approached the project in a new and innovative way. Instead of focusing on fixing rotting teeth after the fact, they went straight to the source and focused on fixing the candy! Good for Alina! And props to her dad for supporting her idea.
