Although Pierrot Gourmand has been making quality sweets since 1892, it is in 1924 that the first lollipop was invented by two Parisian confiseurs who had the idea of inserting a little wooden stick inside their caramel so children would not get it on their hands. Pierrot Gourmand lollipops are to this day a fixture in every French boulangerie, where they beckon children from their display in a porcelain bust of the clown Pierrot. The flat, tear-shaped lollipops now come in four fruit flavors (cherry, raspberry, lemon, and orange) in addition to the classic and delicious milk caramel.
