Dum Dum Pops History

Dum Dums are a brand of lollipop that was first introduced in the United States in 1924. The candy is known for its simple, round shape and its wide variety of flavors, which include everything from classic fruit flavors like cherry and grape to more unusual flavors like root beer and cream soda.

The Dum Dums brand was created by the Akron Candy Company, which was later renamed the Spangler Candy Company. The original Dum Dums were sold in bulk to retailers and were not individually wrapped, which made them a popular choice for candy jars and other bulk displays.

In the years that followed, the Dum Dums brand continued to grow and expand. The company introduced new flavors and packaging options, including individually wrapped pops and seasonal flavors like pumpkin and candy cane.

One of the most notable aspects of the Dum Dums brand is its mystery flavor. Each bag of Dum Dums contains a few pops that are labeled "Mystery Flavor." These pops are made by combining two different flavors together, and the challenge for consumers is to guess which two flavors have been combined.

Today, Dum Dums are sold in more than 30 countries around the world, and the brand has become a beloved part of American candy culture. The candy is often used as a reward for children or as a giveaway at events, and it is known for its simple, nostalgic charm.

Dum Dum Pops Memories

When I was in first grade, we bought a huge bag of Dum Dum Pops to give away at Halloween. There were so many that we ate leftover lollipops for weeks. I was very happy that my parents were so willing to let me eat candy. Nowadays I don't eat so much candy, but seeing a bag of Dum Dum Pops in a store reminds me of my childhood. ~Catherine from Pennsylvania

Dum Dum Pops memories...I always got these around Halloween. I use to trade them for better candy! Five dum dum pops for a chocolate bar! My little brother always fell for my tricks! While he ended up with a couple dozen lollipops and smarties, I'd have all the chocolate! My mom always bought these in mix with other common Halloween candies to hand out. ~Ed from Maryland
