> No. Chupa Chups are a gross lollipop that's supposed to taste like ice cream. Dum Dum pops are more conventional -- run of the mill hard candy, like life savers or something, on a stick. They're pretty tiny -- smaller than Chupa Chups -- but I have to agree with the other Dum Dum fans here that their flavors are, on the whole, very good. I believe they've been around in this country since the 1920s.

They're supposed to taste like ice cream? Really? Wow, whomever developed the recipe failed quite miserably, I'd say.

I like DumDums, but I never quite understood hard candy flavorings. Either most of the companies seem to think changing the color changes the flavor or I have no taste. In my mouth. We already know I have no taste by the other definition.
