| Dum Dums are made in about sixteen different flavors; nine or ten of these flavors are classic flavors; 5 or 6 are cycled in and out. The "Mystery Flavor," present in every bag of Dum Dums, is a combination of two flavors in the bag. So far the company has not released any data on how such flavors are chosen, although speculation remains. The only guess is that the flavors are random but some have taken to finding patterns in the flavors used. This combination occurs because the production of Dum Dums is continuous--there is no stop between flavors. This practice results in the flavor combination. | |||

American brand of lollipops
Dum Dums (stylized as Dum•Dums) are an American brand of spherical lollipops.
History
Dum Dums originated from Akron Candy Company in Bellevue, Ohio, in 1924. I.C. Bahr, the early sales manager of the company, named them, thinking "Dum Dums" was a phrase any child could say. In 1953, Dum Dums were purchased by the Spangler Candy Company and moved manufacturing to Bryan, Ohio.
Initially, there were 7 flavors: lemon, lime, orange, coconut-pineapple, cherry, grape, and butterscotch.
Spangler once experimented with plastic sticks instead of the current paper sticks, but they were met with complaints of potential injury due to the possible breakage of the unbending plastic in manufacturing leading to plastic fragments in the candy.
Flavors
Dum Dums are now made in 17 flavors, with new flavors rotating into the mix every so often, most recently a birthday cake flavor for the 100th anniversary. The "Mystery Flavor" is the result of the end of one batch mixing with the next batch, rather than stopping production to clean machines in between flavors.
