  • Publication number: 20020159244
    Abstract: A lollypop having an internally illuminated stem to form a pleasing visual effect. A chemiluminescent cylinder is used as the stem. One end of the stem is exposed for gripping by the user. The other is embedded in the center of the lollypop—which is made of hard translucent candy. The lollypop, including the chemiluminescent stem, is packaged as one disposable unit. When the user wishes to consume the candy, the user removes the unit from its packaging. The user then bends the exposed portion of the stem, which fractures an internal chemical separation barrier within the stem. The user then shakes the unit, which mixes the two chemicals within the stem and produces the chemiluminescence. This results in the entire stem giving off a soft light, including the portion embedded within the translucent candy.
