Lollipops

Lollipops are candies that you put a stick through. So their shape looks like a circle with a line through it. Usually in American or European countries, hand-made lollipops are bright coloured and disk-shaped. But a lot of the factory made ones are smaller and spherical.

Chocolate

Chocolates are perhaps the most classic and popular of all the candies. It is made from the ingredients cocoa, milk and sugar. It comes in all sorts of shapes and forms: blocks, bars, balls, toffee, ice cream etc. The reason it is popular (besides its splendid sweet taste) is the belief that by eating chocolate, you get a sensation of falling in love (which is why we receive it on Valentine"s Day!).

Chewing Gum

Chewing gums have a lot of flavours: peppermint, strawberry, lime, blueberry etc. And new sugar free ones have been roaming the market in recent years. Although dentists propose that chewing sugar-free gum is actually good for your teeth, a lot of public places (especially schools) still reject chewing gums mainly because it leaves a lot of mess if not thrown into the bin.

Bubble gum

Bubble gums are much the same as the chewing gums mentioned above: they are both lollies that you keep in your mouth but do not swallow. But bubble gums are significantly less dense and usually come in larger pieces. This is so that you can make bubbles out of them. They are a great fun at parties.

Jelly beans

They are those colourful, pretty and sweet little beans that kids really love. Often different colour would signify a different flavous. Thus there is all sorts of discoveries that you can make in a packet of jelly beans
