We experience some melted Blue Raspberry Slushee while it’s still got some carbonation bite to it, Blue Raspberry Dum Dums, and biting into a gigantic Blue Raspberry Gummy Bear. It really was a 5 pound huge Gummy Bear! Why, though? It’s not sour this time, but it is blue! We took techniques from both breweries, dropped the ABV to increase crushability, and we genuinely think this is better than our first batch.įermented with just an unbelievable amount of Blue Raspberry candy, and one giant Blue Raspberry Gummy Bear. “See Us in the Mountains” is a 4% ABV Blue Raspberry Candy Hard Seltzer. We struck up a friendly chat via the internets, swapped some cans, and decided we should combine forces on yet another Blue Raspberry Hard Seltzer. You can make a wrapper bracelet by using Dum Dum wrappers (or Starburst or gum wrappers), too.When we made the last Blue Raspberry Hard Seltzer, we just so happened to release it at the same time as the wild and whacky (and lovely!) folks at Woven Water Brewing. It’s easy to see that any of the “other wrapped lollipop” crafts online could easily be substituted with Dum Dums. I love the Dum Dums holiday craft section. This was originally revealed on Unwrapped. The candy lines keep running continuously, and the Mystery Flavor pops are a surprise treat every time. It’s up to Dum Dums fans to guess the flavor of these mysterious pops”.īut according to Mental Floss: The Mystery Flavor pop is a mixture of two flavors that come together when the end of one batch of candy meets the beginning of the next batch. Rather than shutting down to clean out the candy equipment between flavors, Spangler turned lemons into lemonade and made pops out of the combination of flavors – the tail end of the old, and the beginning of the new. We can only reveal that the Mystery Flavor continuously changes and is not limited to current Dum Dums flavors. On the Spangler website FAQ section it says: “The Mystery Flavor™ is a secret. I used to try to guess the flavors and could sometimes identify it and sometimes I couldn’t. The prizes aren’t free, but are discounted when you save the wrappers.īut what about the Dum Dums mystery flavor? If you’ve enjoyed them as much as I do, you probably know it’s not a consistent single flavor combination. They now offer some neat prizes such as stickers, sweatshirts, mouse pads, water bottles, backpacks, etc. Originally they offered merchandise such as baseballs, basketballs, yo-yo tops,footballs, bats, binoculars, toy cars, maps, checker set, balloons, space satellite launcher, ID bracelets, and flying saucers. This program was created when Spangler bought Dum Dums in 1953 and needed a way to promote them. They still have the save the wraps for stuff program, too. You can save Dum Dums wrappers to get a reduced price on unique Dum Dum Pop merchandise. Candy is a luxury (and a treat) and I can’t say I’d pay much more than what I already do on candy. Ditch the blueberry! I don’t want to be too picky because of sugar imports. So I feel a bit silly asking them to Bring Back Pineapple or Coconut-Pineapple, but I really want them to. They’ve also created holiday flavored Dum Dums (Available in 8 Limited Edition flavors including Merry Cherry, Sugar Plum, Hot Chocolate, Sugar Cookie, Gingerbread, Apple Cider, Green Apple Grinch and Polar Punch). Pepper and Hawaiian punch over the summer to introduce Fruit Juicy Red and Polar Blast flavors. I totally missed their new flavor lineup.

So you can understand that when I bought a gigantic kitty litter sized plastic tub (1000 lollipops) of Dum Dums a few years ago for my kids ( cough cough) and discovered that pineapple was no longer on their flavor list, I was pouty. I told my kids that the pineapple flavor was so good that I used to trade a handful to get that one flavor. My favorite flavors being cream soda and pineapple.

I knew they were around a long time, but recently learned they’ve been around since 1924 from the Akron Candy Company and were bought by the Spangler Candy Company (Think candy canes and circus peanuts marshmallow candy) in 1953.Īs a kid, they were one of my favorite candies to get on Halloween night. Dum Dums come in a lot of different flavors.
