The Hole At The Top Of A Lollipop Stick

Do you remember your love of suckers as a kid, and the excitement that came when you finally finished your candy and you tried to turn the plastic stick with the hole into a whistle?
The reason the plastic lollipop stick has a small hole at the top is so that when the manufacturer pours the hot, melted candy into the mould, some of it seeps into the hole and hardens to keep the candy on the stick instead of falling off.
