Dum Dum Sucker

Akron Candy Company invented these sugary treats in 1924. Back then, the original flavors were Lemon, Lime, Orange, Coconut-Pineapple, Cherry, Grape, and Butterscotch. Over the years, a number of flavors rotated in and out. But it wasn't until 1995 Blue Raspberry was added to the mix. I.C. Bahr, the Sales Manager at Akron Candy Company reportedly chose to call them Dum Dums since it was easy for children to say. Current flavors include Blue Raspberry, Cream Soda, Watermelon, Root Beer, Sour Apple, Cotton Candy, Butterscotch, Cherry, Strawberry, Bubble Gum, Grape, Blueberry, Raspberry, Lemonade, Peach-Mango, Orange, Fruit Punch, and Mystery Flavor.
