Original Gourmet, Change Maker Mini Cream Swirl and Lollipops, 100 Count

These are not the full size gourmet lollipops, but the regular sized ones in different flavors. I don't like some of them, but those are the ones I give away to those who do. Good value for the money, cute colorful display box, fresh tasty assortment of flavors and lots of fun to make little kids smile!

I have not counted each flavor, or if I got exactly 100, but I will when I have more time. The box they arrived it was completely destroyed and unusable so I have to put them in a bag for now. Otherwise no complaints, but if the count seems off I will update my review then. As for what they are, yes they are mini versions, but for the price it's worth it. It even says mini in the title. It took a few weeks to get to me but they did arrive within the timeframe estimated at purchase. Over all I think it is a great purchase! If you have never had these before, they are not "strong" in flavor, but they are consistent. They don't "run out of" flavor as you suck on them. They are not overly sweet, not sour, and are not potent. They are less sweet than a jolly rancher, but on par with a dum dum. Their flavors are unique, for example their watermelon is good, tastes like "watermelon" flavor but is not the same as other watermelon flavored candies. I hope my description makes some sense. These are my favorite suckers, I really do love them. These mini ones are the same flavors but smaller than the originals.

I saw these zip my doctors office and had one. They taste good and they last a long long time. The only thing that lasts longer than the lollipop is your effort trying to get the stupid wrapping off. I could break into Fort Knox faster than I can get this stupid sucker open.

I bought these lollipops to help a bit with my ADHD, since I found out that chewing on something can help me out a lot, along with having something to lick(kind of like a fidget toy that keeps your hands free). Nearly all the flavors were enjoyable, with only a few that weren't to my liking, however even those were still enjoyable to a degree. It can be sometimes difficult to tell the difference between flavors as they all have a similar base taste, though you can still definitely taste the difference if you focus on it, also this company probably makes my favorite watermelon-flavored candy I've had. The plastic straws/sticks are pleasantly resilient, even after finishing the lollipop one could chew on the stick alone for hours until it eventually started to break and become plastic strings, and despite long one chews on it it does not become sharp, however it's important reminder, (especially for adults/teens) to not chew to vigorously, as the plastic provides very minimal amount of cushion and too much chewing can cause discomfort for your teeth. The only downside to these that I can see is the plastic waste (and the sugar if one doesn't consume these responsibly) it's not a pleasant sight (especially for an environmentalist) to see a pile of plastic straws slowly accumulate on one's desk. Though if one is dedicated enough I believe it's possible to recycle all 100 of them.

When I bought these, I thought they were the large size you find in some grocery or specialty stores. They are a more miniature version, but with the same great flavors. I have 9 grandchildren and we set up a small sucker tree at Christmas that holds about 30 suckers. They were the perfect size for the tree and a big hit with the kids. Parents liked that they were smaller and therefore not too much sugar all at once. All in all, this was a win!

I needed a ROUND pop for a project. The mini size pops were the perfect size, colors were beautiful and taste was good. Only problem is that the majority of the pops were not round and appeared to be only half of a pop. They have a flat bottom, as if the mold was only partially full, resembling a mushroom cap rather than a round “sphere or globe”. I don’t know how these passed a quality check. So unfortunately I was unable to use these. I did contact the company and got no response back. Nowhere in the description did it indicate that I was purchasing “rejects”. If the “shape” is a factor then do not purchase these (the mini size pops). I’ve seen customers pictures of the regular size pops and they were not misshaped, but the mini pops are what I purchased and they were terribly misshaped. So be aware of your needs….

Not “original gourmet”. If you have bought these at the store or a fundraiser before these are not the same. They are the same size as dum dums. Which means the value is lost. Can’t return them. Money down the drain.

These are my favorite lollipops. High quality flavor like the larger size but easier for small mouths. Wrappers are difficult to remove but I understand why.
