Barley Pops memories...
Growing up in New England, my siblings and I were taken to
many a Revolutionary war monument, historical house or whaling museum
for a "vacation." The high point for us kids at most of
these sites was the gift shop, which was usually decked out like an
old-fashioned general store.
None of our favorite regular candies
here, but they always had a rack of barley pops. Only three colors,
but so many shapes! Which to choose... Sailing ship? Witch? Pilgrim
hat? Lobster? No matter--they all kept us quiet on the ride
home! ~ Carolyn in California
I am so
thrilled to see that you carry Barley Pops! When I was about 9 years
old (30 years ago!) I boarded at a convent school and someone had
donated a large box of these lollipops that we would get to choose
from if we got a good grade or did extra chores, I always remembered
they had a special tart flavor and sticky chewy texture that other
candies never did.
It was pretty funny when my sister and I used to fight over the red
bears (a favorite of both of us, and the other kids as well), but we
tried not to be too obvious about this since this would cause the
sisters to not allow us to have the treat! Many years later I tried to
locate them but before the internet I was unsuccessful! ~ Anne from
California
In our home it was not Christmas without Barley Pops. They were such a treat. The thought of those
beautiful pops brings tearful memories of my childhood. We never had much as children but my Mom always treated us to these delicious pops.
It was not Christmas if we didn't have Barley Pops and an orange in our stocking. I love those pops! What memories! ~ Melinda from

I was so excited to see
Barley Pops in the list of candy you sell. I remember my mother
buying them for us at Christmas. I think she bought them from the
local grocery store and I always thought they were made in
Pennsylvania by the Pennsylvania Dutch. I have been trying to find
them for years and even thought about going to Pennsylvania to
search for these delicious pops. I went to different candy websites
and typed in "Lollipops" but none had these particular ones. Thank
you for providing a most loved part of my childhood! ~ Lisa from New
Jersey
