(Summary description)Remember when I was a child, the best candy was not a watermelon candy with a few dollars in the store, not a big roll of sweet and soft, not a colorful bubble gum with a bite flavor, but one by one on the boss counter Lollipop on the table. How many children can refuse the charm of lollipop? I believe that many friends born in the 1980s and 1990s will have a childhood familiarity when they see the lollipop.


When I was young, I ate lollipops. What I thought about was the taste of lollipops. What apple flavor, milk flavor, cantaloupe flavor, apple flavor, grape flavor. Now when I eat lollipops, it is more about satisfying my temporary appetite. However, when you eat lollipop, have you noticed that every time you eat it, there will be a small hole in the plastic stick that holds the lollipop, filled with candy, but we can't eat sugar.


So what is the use of such a small hole? It turned out that this small hole is of great significance. If there is no such hole in the plastic rod, our lollipop cannot be fixed on the plastic rod. This small hole really plays a "fixing" role. Want to know why this hole is so significant, we will start with the making of lollipop.


Lollipop, raw materials are white sugar, maltose, food coloring, food flavor. When making lollipops, it is necessary to dissolve the white sugar and maltose according to a certain ratio and cook them with water to make syrup. When the white sugar and maltose are completely cooked into syrup, add the right amount of flavor and color to make the lollipop into the flavor and color you want. The boiled syrup is poured into the prepared mold. The mold can be round, square, polygonal, or any shape.



After the syrup is poured into the mold, the plastic stick is about to appear. While the syrup has not set, place the plastic rod in the mold and immerse it in the syrup. At this time, the liquid syrup will wrap the plastic rod, and the small holes in the plastic rod will pour into the syrup. When the syrup cools and starts to solidify, the syrup inside and outside the holes is connected, and after solidification, it will become a unified candy. In this way, the inside and outside are fixed at the same time, so that the candy can be firmly stuck on the plastic rod and will not slide down.


Without this hole, can't the lollipop be fixed? The answer is that it can be fixed, but the fixation is not strong. It is easy to lose the sugar ball during the process of eating the lollipop. Then you are likely to face two choices. Eat slowly in the mouth. The second is that the lollipop falls off the stick and falls on the floor.


However, there is now a paper stick made of paper, which has no holes to fix the lollipop, and the candy will not fall off. Why? It turned out that the friction of the paper stick is much greater than the plastic stick. Use the paper stick to fix the candy. The candy will not slip off the paper stick because it is too slippery. So lollipops made of paper sticks do not need a small hole to fix the candy.


Seeing this, I believe you already understand the importance of the small hole on the plastic lollipop. The little lollipop also contains a lot of human wisdom. In the future, if you want to make lollipops at home, you should also pay attention not to buy plastic sticks without small holes, or put the plastic sticks upside down. The end with small holes is to be placed in syrup to fix candy .
