This giant, hand-twisted lollipop is perfect for an special occasion, centerpiece, or birthday parties. Each lollipop is approximately 5.5 in diameter and is 10 oz. in weight and individually packaged. On his first day of high school, a young man named Carl Hammond returned home and announced that he didn't need any more education. "Fine," his mother replied, "but you're not going to lie around the house. Go get a job." and that's just what Carl Hammond did; he got a job...as an apprentice in a candy factory. In 1920, after several years of learning the candy business, Carl T. Hammond, Sr. founded Hammond's Candy Company in Denver, Colorado. Over the past 90 years, the "Mile High City" has seen a number of fine chocolate and candy manufacturers come and go, but one special company is still very much in business. Hammond's Candies still honors Carl's motto, "Nothing is more important that quality."
