Enric Bernat Fontlladosa launched the sweet on a stick in 1958, with a floral logo designed by the Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dali.

Det hade jag verkligen ingen aning om, att Dali hade gjort logotypen. Den har ju alltid haft en kär plats i hjärtat, men det har ju varit för att det är så goda jordgubbsklubbor. Nu finns det ju flera skäl.

Dessutom har jag ju hunnit bli småkär i Dali rent allmänt igen eftersom jag håller på att läsa "Kavalier & Clays fantastiska äventyr".

"I looked at candy and I was surprised that there was no candy made for children, when they are the main consumers," Bernat said when asked about his invention.

"It did not fit well in their mouths, it got their hands dirty and it caused problems for their mothers. This is why I had the idea of putting it on a stick."

Självklart.
