Friday may have been just another day for you and me, but for candy-maker See's it was National Lollipop Day. And that means only one thing: time for a publicity stunt!

"We ran the National Lollypop Day promotion last year and gave away free lollipops at all of our shops, which was a big success.," says Natalie Brown, See's Candies Brand marketing manager. "We wanted to make this year's promotion bigger and better, which is how we came up with the idea of making the world's largest lollipop."
