Oh my, did I love Dum Dums when I was a kid. In the hierarchy of lollipops, they were better than Blow-Pops (the candy was fake tasting and the gum lost its flavor in seconds) and not quite as good as Tootsie-Pops (I will always love the chocolate ones). I was a particular fan of the root beer and cream soda varieties, because they reminded me of my grandmother. But I'd take just about anyone in a pinch.
What was your favorite childhood lollipop?
Thanks Angela, for the lovely picture and the fun trip through the candy memories.

Or the see mui lollipops you used to be able to buy at the Longs checkout. I haven't seen them in years, though, and don't know whether there's any way to find some. They were just a sugary, mostly unflavored slab of hard candy with a see mui stuck in the middle, for the perfect blend of sweet and salty.
