Original Gourmet Lollipops, Original and Cream Swirl Medley, 60 Count, 1.1 Ounce

After reading recent reviews, I knew I was taking a chance I might get a lot of the same flavor, but that really wouldn't have bothered me. I was surprised to find such a wide variety: Banana Split - 3 Blue Raspberry - 3 Blueberries & Cream - 3 Bubblegum - 3 Candy Apple - 3 Cherry Cheesecake - 3 Cotton Candy - 3 Green Apple - 3 Hot Cinnamon - 3 Orange Creamsicle - 3 Orange Splash - 3 Party Punch - 3 Pina Colada - 3 Pomegranate Raspberry - 3 Strawberry Banana - 3 Strawberry Shortcake - 3 Sugar Cookie - 6 Watermelon - 3 Wild Cherry - 3 Clearly the person putting these together made an effort to give a wide variety. I'm guessing they forgot they added 3 sugar cookie already and did it twice instead of adding another flavor. I got 60 total. Very satisfied with my purchase! EDIT 9/28/22: I was so happy with these I ordered another set a month later and while I got less variety, I got some new flavors instead (caramel apple, juicy grape, and pink lemonade). In my second set of 60 I got: Banana Split - 5 Blue Raspberry - 3 Bubblegum - 3 Caramel Apple - 4 Cotton Candy - 4 Green Apple - 4 Hot Cinnamon - 4 Juicy Grape - 4 Orange Creamsicle - 1 Party Punch - 3 Pina Colada - 3 Pink Lemonade - 4 Strawberry Banana - 6 Strawberry Shortcake - 5 Watermelon - 4 Wild Cherry - 3 What I love about these lollipops is they're all very sweet flavors, so if you're a fan of more sugary lollipops as opposed to fruity, these are for you. Even flavors like green apple, orange splash, wild cherry, and blue raspberry are extremely sweet. The only flavor I haven't liked out of all 22 I've received is hot cinnamon, because it really does taste like hot cinnamon!

I Love these pops and have purchased them several times. They are always the same good quality and they arrive in perfect condition.

This may later be changed, but for right now my rating stands here: I have purchased MANY OG products off of the little wall stand impulse buys at different stores throughout the years. Through an understanding of just what my weight is caused by, I’ve come to understand that I am an emotional, compulsive eater. Also, not only do I have a sweet tooth, I have 32 of them! Which is exactly why I bought these. They passify (quite literally) the emotional aspect of my eating disorder, and they’re so filling it also eliminates my disorder to compulsively eat thousands of calories of food. I tested this theory out over a period of a week. I found through having a glass of water at night, a piece or 2 of certain flavors of Ice Breakers gum, and simply ONE of these is all I’d eat in a night. So there’s aspect one of this review. The item was as it states in the product description above. “60, bc 57 is just weird” so I wasn’t expecting 60. They kept their word on that. As for the flavors I received, it was some I’d never had, or even heard of. The exact breakdown of what I received is as follows: 4 pink lemonade, 3 Raspberry Pomegranate, 3 cotton candy, 1 Party Punch, 3 Banana Split 3 Pina Colada, 3 Bubble Gum, 3 Candy Apple, 3 Cherry Cheesecake, 3 Strawberry Shortcake,3 Strawberry Banana, 3 Orange Creamsicle, 3 Watermelon, 3 Root Beer Float, 2 Orange Splash, 3 Blue Raspberry, 3 Mocha Latte,3 Blueberry and Cream, 1 Candy Cane. My only teeny tiny complaint is maybe too many pink lemonade, it’s not a flavor I tolerate well, but it is my niece’s favorite. So, it still ends up being a win-win. ****Update**** This company promises one delivery date, then they give you another one that's for much later. I was given a delivery date of today, looked this morning and the date had been changed from 9/11 to 9/25, with zero explanation. It's completely unacceptable especially when they have orders you can place that they claim will be delivered on 9/19. Don't walk, but run, fast away from this company. I'm going to try Linda's lollies instead, and I'd recommend you check them out before dealing with this company. Ugh!

I had wanted a variety pack of this brand’s full size (1.1oz) suckers that I like, which I typically find sold in a freestanding display near the checkout aisles in grocery stores. It took some thought because of the large number of options available for purchase here under the same listing. It was confusing at first, but once I weeded out the “mini” variety pack suckers that are a fraction of the usual size, I found what I was looking for, and received exactly what I’d wanted. There were 60 total 1.1oz suckers, in 18 different flavors, with no more than 4 of any flavor, all in excellent condition, and the expiration date is 2 years away. Now I don’t have to go digging through the bin at the store anymore, hoping to find a more than a handful of flavors. I even received flavors I’ve never seen before! I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.

Starting off with the good: this brand of lollipop is the best one out there. They are the perfect size, great flavor, and they last for just the right amount of time. When it comes to this variety pack specifically, I wouldn’t order this unless your favorite flavors are cotton candy and bubblegum because those two flavors made up about 60% of what I got. I didn’t get any of my favorites: root beer float, hot cinnamon, or watermelon. Kind of a disappointment overall.

So I decided why not, lets actually track the flavors and the quantity this time, something I normally wouldn't do. Before I got into all that, these are normally sized lollipops not small mini ones, the price value is not bad, and I think they all taste okay at worst. I liked the Pina Colada the most which surprised me and also became a slight ding.... So about that count and variety... First I only got 59 in my bag, yes, being short one is not that upsetting but it is still one less than I paid for. So that alone is MAYBE enough to drop a star. There is a good flavor variety though. These are the flavors I got in no particular order: Banana Split Caramel Apple Strawberry Banana Watermelon Bubblegum Cotton Candy Blue Raspberry Orange Creamsicle Wild Cherry Pina Colada Great variety, if we were totally balanced (and I got 60) you would hope you get 6 of each flavor. That absolutely did not happen. I received 3 or less of each of the Caramel Apple, Watermelon, and Pina Colada flavors. This would still be okay if the rest were balanced.... but they were not. Of every remaining flavor I got either 5 or 6 of each... except for Cotton Candy. I don't dislike Cotton Candy I am honestly okay with it. But when 17 of your 59 pops are a single flavor that is going to be a disappointment, and you better REALLY like that one flavor. Yes, almost 30% of my bag was Cotton Candy. So for me this is a barely hanging in there 4 stars, more like a 3.5, but if you do not like the Cotton Candy flavor this is a 3 or lower and I would not recommend buying this bag. If you love Cotton Candy though and don't like the three barely there flavors this is more like a high 4 or maybe even a 5 star.

My favorite

These are marvelous lollipops. However be aware that flavors will be left out. In my bag, I am missing Juicy Grape, Birthday Cake, Orange Splash, Green Apple, Fruit Punch, Sugar Cookie, Candy Cane, Peppermint Bark, Pomegranate Raspberry , Red Hot Cinnamon + a couple others I'm unable to recall at the moment. Wonderful product, great shipping, just beware you'll get over abundance of Bubble Gum, Blue Raspberry, and Cotton Candy. Im talking ALOT of them.
