Did you know that in the UK we munch our way through £5billion worth of sweets and chocolate, every year?

That means that on average, Kate and Fearne munch their way through this much every single year. Proof enough that we like our sweets!

It's no different in the USA. In fact one inventor has come up with a very high tech sweet. Check these out - they're the first lollies in the world with a hologram stamped on the front!

Each lolly features a beautiful 3D picture. They're perfect for celebrating special occasions - like Christmas, for example, with this Father Christmas lolly.

Or Halloween - with a haunted house lolly! Eek!

These holograms are stamped on, but you can make a hologram with a laser (a special beam of light with a very pure colour). The lasers that used to be used were very big and very expensive, but it's possible to make a hologram with a laser pointer.

This one has had the lens removed, so that the light beam spreads.

The next thing to do is find an object that you would like to make a hologram of. In the studio, Kate and Fearne used this letter "e".

Finally you need a special type of film called holographic plate. It mustn't be removed from the protective bag until the lighting is changed to green. And that's because green light won't spoil the hologram.

The film is placed underneath the model...

...and the laser is pointing up at the object, towards the holographic plate - all ready to record.

When the shield is removed from the laser, you can see the beam travelling from the laser collides with the reflection of the beam travelling from the model.

Where those beams collide, tiny peaks and troughs are formed inside the holographic plate, and that's how you make a hologram.

The next step is to develop the holographic plate. This is done in exactly the same way that photographs are developed.

Eureka! One hologram, looking very 3D!
