Chupa Chups: the cult brand that invented the lollipop!

Chupa Chups: a stroke of genius

It's Enric Bernat who's behind the genius idea of Chupa Chups. This ingenious man wanted a candy that felt like eating with a fork — in other words, a candy on the end of a stick. He invented the very first lollipop in the world! This product that seems so ordinary to us today actually only came to be in 1958. Thank you, Enric Bernat, for this lovely invention loved by kids and grown-ups alike.

1958? It was quite a year: it's also the birth year of huge stars like Prince, Michael Jackson and Madonna! A good omen for Chupa Chups. In its early days, the brand offered 7 flavors: strawberry, orange, lemon, milk-strawberry, vanilla-chocolate, café au lait and mint. And do you know which one sold best? The strawberry-and-cream lollipop! And believe it or not, that's still the case today.

Did you know the Chupa Chups logo was designed by Salvador Dalí?

In 1969, the famous surrealist artist Salvador Dalí sketched on a corner of newspaper what would become the basis of the Chupa Chups logo, that famous yellow-and-red daisy. Classy, right? It was in 1990 that Chupa Chups truly went global and ended up being sold in 164 countries. These iconic lollipops are now found almost everywhere — case in point, they even went to space, with some Russian astronauts taking them along!

Chupa Chups has always bet on originality. In 1994, the biggest Chupa Chups of all time was born, originally created as a gift for FC Barcelona player Hristo Stoichkov: it weighed 735 grams and took days to finish. By 2018, there were more than 100 different lollipop flavors around the world — from the most classic to the most surprising, like lemon tea, Ramune or matcha latte!

Chupa Chups: much more than lollipops

Beyond its legendary lollipops, Chupa Chups has built a whole indulgent universe: gum, chewy candies, various candy... and even drinks! The brand has known how to reinvent itself over the decades while keeping its fun, colorful identity that appeals to every generation.
