Sir Alfred Horace Laulie, an English professor of Asthetic Engineering at Oxford University, invented lollies in 1532. The invention was inspired by his son's constant requests; "Dad, I want a ... err ... I don't know what I want, but I really want it."
Necessity being the mother of invention, Sir Alfred quickly invented the first lollie, which happened to be a "Cod Liver Oil Delight." Of course this early prototype was later surpassed by much tastier incarnations, such as "Chocolate-Coated Black Pudding" to name but one. In the early 17th century there was slow but steady shift towards the sweet lollie, (in some regions referred to as the "sweet"), and the industry never looked back.
The name lollie derives from the latin root olaelay, "to silence one's child." Sir Alfred Horace Laulie first invented the lollie called Cod Liver Oil Delight.
