Wait till you try one of those flat caramel apple ones again
SinStarsGalaxy@reddit
I get the variety bag every Halloween. The golden delicious is đ„°
EclipseCaste@reddit
Sorry, come again??
SinStarsGalaxy@reddit
Youâre talking about those right?
EternalSunshineClem@reddit
I love these đ€€ still, as a grown ass woman
EclipseCaste@reddit
Th-there are options??
SinStarsGalaxy@reddit
Yeah. Only in the fall season though. Green Apple is year round but when the Halloween candy starts popping up the variety bag comes back out. Green Apple, Golden Delicious, and Red Macintosh.

Those fuckers are seductively dangerous. So delicious, but so much pain.

Someone filled the work candy jar with tootsie pops the other day. I grabbed a blue one and was immediately transported to a better time. Tasted exactly how I remembered it!
6BigZ6@reddit
I remember the first time my daughter asked what flavor blue wasâŠ.I said delicious
Mmmhmmjk@reddit
Made a mistake and bought a bag of them mid-October for âHalloweenâ knowing damn well they would never make it to October 31. I think my record was 10 one day - sour apple, cherry, and watermelon. Strawberry remind me of those little red candies. Hard pass.
cacecil1@reddit
Strawberry was definitely lacking and that's usually my favorite flavor of things.
OppositeRun6503@reddit
Actually most strawberry đ candy tastes better than real strawberries.
6BigZ6@reddit
Mmmhmmjk@reddit
đyes!
the__ghola__hayt@reddit
How many licks did it take?

I was a blow pop âdealerâ in school. Mom made an inner pocket in my jean jacket and I sold them for a quarter. Mom bought the first box from Samâs Club and I bought the rest. It paid for a TV and a Nintendo.

We sold pixie sticks for 10Âą. That sugar rush around 2:00pm was amazing. Weâd sell 3 in the morning and 30 in the afternoon.
Both-Tree@reddit
Yes they did, especially since it was sour apple
KalEl_Tano@reddit
Thatâs how I feel about smoking. It may come with a side of cancer, but I swear people were calmer and nicer when smoking was âallowedâ

Nostalgia aside, sourness can help ground a person in the present! It sounds whacky, but it works :)
cacecil1@reddit
I got blow pops for Halloween to give out to trick or treaters. We've got a lot left and I've been eating them. The gum is hideous but all the flavors are so fun and delicious. I remember carrying around a display box of blue razz berry blow pops in high school and selling them for 25 cents each!
ChevalCher@reddit
Good ol' sour apple Blow Pops, along with the apple Jolly Rancher. Giving me coughing fits (for some reason) since the 1990s, but still enjoying them because they are that good. đ€€
acaciopea@reddit
Well, good thing it wasnât one of the blue ones because those give you cancer.
Or so we all said every time we had one in 1994.
the__ghola__hayt@reddit
At least it didn't have Yellow 5 which made your dick shrink or made you sterile. I forget which one.
PinSufficient5748@reddit
I just had one if those a couple of days ago! đ€Ł I can't believe that as a kid, I was tricked into thinking it tasted like "raspberry", though...
Hello_Hangnail@reddit
And then they all flood back when you cut your tongue on a weirdly sharp bit
Deep-Ad4351@reddit
I get it
eeg-18@reddit
The way these would always slice the shit out of my tongue
dukedog@reddit
This happened to me the other day. They form little microscopic razor edges after a while.
stopstatic27@reddit
man that moment where you can bite into the gum at the center and start chewing... incredible. If only that gum retained its flavor for longer LOL
dukedog@reddit
Not quite the same but check out Inside Out Blowpop gumballs.
Also I had some leftover blowpops from Halloween candy and I somehow managed to cut my tongue. Hurt for a day and went back to normal.

stopstatic27@reddit
Hell yeah... enjoy!
tinglep@reddit (OP)
Iâm close. The smoothness of the outer shell is starting to deteriorate. đ„°
PlayedUOonBaja@reddit
Grabbed one a week ago on a whim at the register, also about 20 years. Mine was cherry. I swallowed the gum right away instead chewing on it. No regrets.
TheConcreteGhost@reddit
Ring pops and whistle pops are also good for temporarily combatting depression
Immediate-Yogurt-558@reddit
Holy shit, I havent seen a whistle pop in decades
neckbeardsghost@reddit
Cherry ring pops have seen me through some pretty difficult times
Captain_Roastbeef@reddit
Grape is the GOAT
sugarandspice85@reddit
I can taste that sour apple mixed with the blood of the mouth cuts it always gave me just through this picture and I miss it also
transponster99@reddit
Last time I had one of these I had a similar experience... until it popped off my crown and cost me $1400.

The only time I can justify sugar gum đ
Pitiful_Ad2397@reddit
Damn your life sounds great
Pitiful_Ad2397@reddit
(Earnestly- thatâs awesome)
jjmawaken@reddit
Sour apple is such a good flavor... i like the ones that have caramel around them.
Anon_ymous1138@reddit
Say from Charms!⊠cut cutâŠ
DixieFlatlineXIV@reddit
On the other end, I had a tootsie roll pop and ended up cracking a tooth. Take care of ya teefs
maggie320@reddit
Donât eat the blue ones they have heroin or crack or something in them. Remember that story that went around?
GrungeCheap56119@reddit
Winning!
notevebpossible@reddit
Remember the song on the commercial? Sour apple! Drum drum dum
throwleavemealone@reddit
2:50 of that was the sucker, the gum held flavor for exactly 10 seconds
MsBlueBonnet@reddit
Sour Apple is the superlative BP flavor!
