About the only flavor I disliked from these was the buttered popcorn. I don’t like buttered popcorn jelly bellys either. To me, it’s just like eating solid or chewy butter- there’s no popcorn flavor, plus that’s a flavor that doesn’t mesh with the idea of candy for me. I liked the root beer ones though. And strawberry. My little bro liked the cream soda.

Peach is my favorite flavor too and i always wondered what happened to them. I want them to bring it back. Let’s start a petition!

I know this is forever a dead post, but if you are still out there I just thought I would say hi! I work for the Spangler Candy Co., who makes Dum Dum pops. Another Factoid about Dum Dums Mystery flavor. There are actually two ways they make that flavor, one is when they change flavors on the line, as they make dum dums all the time (to the tune of 8 million a day). The other is, right before they are packed, quality control checks to make sure that the pop is wrapped porperly. Those that are not, are unwrapped and saved, and then rewrapped as mystery flavor. Hope all is well.

How do I get peach back? I’m so distressed that it’s gone, it’s my favorite candy. . .

I love these! They should make a bigger version though. :P They don’t last long enough! Cream soda and butterscotch are my favorites.

ah…the good old days when dentists used to give out lollipops! Now all they give is a stupid pencil or a sticker.

Haha…
Dum Dums.
About three years ago, my dog got into my Halloween candy (Oh the horror!), and there was probably nothing, at all, left in that bag that resembled much edibleness.
So me, in my distressed state, crawled into bed – and underneath the covers, there were multiple Dum Dums hiding there. Underneath the pillow too you ask? Why yes.
Well, turns out, she’d taken all the lollipops, and stashed ‘em throughout the house. Six months later, we were still finding dum dums!
Even the dog loved ‘em. Ridiculous.

…Just thought I’d share. =)

(And that’s super interesting about the mystery flavor… I always assumed that it was a regular flavor with a mystery wrapper on it. =s)

I LOVE the factoid about the Mystery flavor – thank you for that! I always wondered what I was tasting and could never quite figure it out; now I know why. I love knowing food/candy trivia! Now I have to go share that with my best foodie friend…after I hit up the candy aisle at the Mexican grocery store (I live in Tucson, AZ, where Mexican candy is thankfully very plentiful)!

I love them even more now. I always hand them out at halloween. Question? Any idea what the “mystery ” flavor really is? It tastes almost like pineapple.
