Cola lollipop
CALORIES
GI
POTASSIUM

1 piece (medium) of Cola lollipop (15 g) has 59 calories. That works out to 390 calories per 100 g. It contains 14.7 g of carbs, 0 g of protein, 0 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its glycemic index is 80 (high), so it raises blood sugar quickly.
A Cola lollipop is a hard candy on a stick, flavoured to evoke cola. It is typically made from a cooked sugar mixture that is poured into a mould and cooled; the cola taste comes from flavouring and does not necessarily mean the drink itself is an ingredient. Sold individually, it is a familiar small sweet in many countries.
It dissolves slowly, with a distinctly sweet, sometimes tangy flavour and a crisp texture if you bite into it. People may enjoy one as an occasional treat, while travelling, after a meal or simply when they want something sweet. Nutritionally, it is almost entirely carbohydrate, with no protein, fat or fibre. If you want a smaller sweet snack, one medium lollipop is a straightforward portion; water makes a simple accompaniment.

An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Most Cola lollipops do not contain caffeine; cola flavour is usually added as flavouring rather than coming from caffeinated cola. Recipes vary, so caffeine is only present if the manufacturer adds it.
Usually, no. A Cola lollipop is typically made with sugar or syrup and cola flavouring, not poured cola. The flavour aims to resemble the soft drink, but the candy is not the drink in solid form.
Yes. Homemade Cola lollipops can be made by cooking sugar, glucose syrup and water to hard-candy stage, then adding cola flavouring and pouring the mixture into moulds. Hot sugar can cause severe burns, so handle it carefully.
Yes, some manufacturers make sugar-free Cola lollipops using sweeteners instead of sugar. Availability and sweeteners vary by product, and sugar-free versions may still affect people differently or cause digestive discomfort if eaten in excess.
A Cola lollipop normally has cola flavour but not the dissolved carbon dioxide that makes soda fizz. It is a hard candy, so it will not produce the bubbling sensation of a carbonated drink.
Yes, a hard Cola lollipop can pose a choking risk, especially for young children. A child should sit still while eating one and should not run, play, or lie down with the candy in their mouth.
Yes, the sugar in a Cola lollipop can contribute to tooth decay. Sucking on it keeps sugar in contact with the teeth for a while; rinsing with water afterward and brushing regularly help limit the risk.
A regular Cola lollipop can raise blood sugar because it is usually made with sugar or glucose syrup. People with diabetes should account for it in their eating plan; a clinician or dietitian can advise on individual needs.
A Cola lollipop may taste sour because its recipe includes food acids to sharpen the flavour. Sour-coated versions can taste more tart than plain ones, and the intensity varies between brands.
Keep a Cola lollipop sealed in a cool, dry place. Heat can soften or deform it, while moisture can make its surface sticky; follow the date and storage directions printed on the package.
