M&M-colored Honey
When a baby is just born, he or she only see shades of black and white, or so they say. As the little bundle of joy grows bigger, it gets attracted to more vibrant hues. When schooling starts, one of the most important lessons taught to him or her is the different colors.
This only displays how important color is in our lives. The same thing goes for food. The more variety of colors there is, the more it is pleasing to the eyes, more appealing. That is the reason why a lot of food manufacturing companies maximize this phenomenon. This is especially true with the candy brands.
Imagine how successful the use of color has been for M&M’s. They don’t just cater to the children, but also those who are young at heart.
You can enjoy those tiny bits of color coated chocolates right into your mouth. You can grab a random handful or choose specific colors, your call, but turns out that these colorful treats are not seen as pleasing to the beekeepers of France.
France is the largest producer and supplier of honey in all of Europe. Annually, it is estimated that they generate around 18,330 tons of honey. Sweet, eh?
Based on the Alsace chamber of agriculture, there are roughly 2,400 beekeepers in their specific region that tends 35,000 colonies, producing approximately 1,000 tons of honey a year.
August of last year, about a dozen or so of the Alsace area beekeepers began to notice that the honey produced by their bees became bluish and greenish!
Following an investigation, they discovered that is was because of a biogas plant of an M&M factory located around the area. The bees have been eating the residues and this contributed to the colorful end result of their honey.
According to Alain Frieh who is the president of the Apiculturists’ Union, this situation is actually a problem. Despite the attractive look and the honey-like taste, the product is not salable.
What a bummer, right? Perhaps they should add more color and ship it to the U.S. Strangely-colored ketchup was all the rage a few years ago, neon-blue honey sounds just as good!

Lollipops And How They Started
Lollipops are one of the best sweet treats, well loved by adults and children alike across the globe. They come in an array of colors and flavors, usually fruit flavors, but chocolate-flavored ones are also very famous.
With a lot of companies cutthroat in producing and distribute lollipops, such treat has become available in many different shapes, as well. There are small ones that can be purchased in bulk and serve as mini gifts, and then there are large ones that are made with candy canes twisted into a circle. We know them very well!
The recorded largest lollipop was made and then certified on the June 25, 2002. It has a weight of 4,031 pounds (stick included), 18.9 inches thick, and over 15 feet tall. It’s almost a rip-off of a giraffe! It came in cherry flavor and was the “talk of the world” at the time.
The word lollipop has been colloquially used in many different pop songs like the “Lollipop Guild” , and it was featured in the the movie “The Wizard of Oz,” the “Lollipop” of Chordettes, and “The Good Ship Lollipop” from the 1934 Shirley Temple movie, ”Bright Eyes”.
In America, July 20th is considered to be National Lollipop Day. Many lollipops can be eaten at room temperature, but some lollipops are made to be ice lollipops. These are water-based and frozen.
The first ever lollipop making machine recorded in history was only able to make 40 lollipops in a minute. With such pace, it would take a total of 592 days just to keep up with the needs of people scattered from Sugar Hill, Georgia to Sugar City, Idaho. Today, the fastest lollipop making machine can make 5,900 lollipops a minute. Yup!
The idea of having a candy on stick paved way for the creation of the lollipop. This continues to be the reason why it was invented and reinvented over time.
