In 1987, two American postmen, Coleman and Schroeder, accidentally became interested in a glowing light stick in the hand of a little boy. After careful consideration, the two of them suddenly had an idea. Inspiration, this thing is a toy for children to play with. If you can add children's favorite food and assemble it into something that can be played and eaten, it will definitely be loved by children. So the two of them tried without any purpose. When the lollipop was casually placed on the top of the glow stick, the expected result appeared: the light passed through the translucent candy, showing a fantastic effect. The discovery of this combination with little technical content surprised the two of them. They applied for a patent for the light-emitting lollipop and sold the patent to Cape Candy Company, earning the first pot of gold for their fantastic idea ($475 million - a reward for fantastic ideas).
Recently, a very eye-catching lollipop has appeared on the market. The only difference between it and other lollipops is that the small stick under the candy is replaced by a fluorescent stick. Before eating the candy, you only need to gently break the fluorescent stick a few times, and the originally plain lollipop will flash with dazzling fluorescence, which will instantly increase the number of customers. But are children at risk when eating such lollipops? What other forms of glow sticks are available on the market? Are they safe?
