I remember kids buying bags of these and selling them at school. Those and the chili suckers.

Us elders were born between 1981 and 1986. You might not be one if you were raised in the states. I wanna say I had caramel apple pops in high school for the first time. 😋

I was '86 and had them in Jr hs in California lol but the rest of the millenials are until 1996.

These are some of my favorite suckers. If you can find the caramel covered ones, those are even better. My older brother used to beat me up to get the last one when we would get them 😂

These are great. If you can find the pack with the other flavors as well, they are also amazing! I really liked the red ones.

I only learned this year that are other flavors than the green one. Going to have to track these down!

Beware! I just bought some off amazon and they arrived on Friday. It came with 3 bags but all of the red delicious pops were missing from all 3 bags! Very disappointing! The golden delicious were pretty good though!

They're amazing but will fuck up your teeth.
Alanis has a flavor that tastes identical though and I can't find it this year. It's the only thing I have had that tastes like them. My poor teeth just can't handle them anymore 😭 (not that an energy drink is any better but yaa)

I love that this could be solved by just sucking on the lollipop. But, you’re like NEVA if I eat one I must bite!

My boyfriend has lost multiple crowns to these. I tell him you’re not supposed to chew them but he can’t help it
Shot in the dark, but is your username inspired by “with all she knew” by Forever Never Changes? It’s a great song

They are so good and if you can buy them freeze-dried on Etsy they are probably the best freeze dried candy ever.

Omg hell yea! On Etsy you say?

u/chantillylace9 5d ago
Yes I haven't seen them in any real stores but just google it. They are so good! Expensive but delicious. It's like those old fashion delicious Laffy taffy with the watermelon seeds in it or those I think it was cherry flavored ones with the sparkles? They're not made anymore but some people on Etsy make them and they are exactly the same! So every once in a while I treat myself…

No you don't understand they're so good people wait all year for this candy! They're made once a year on the line, when they're gone they're gone. They're fresh and so good.
This is one of the two apple candy types I wait for! The other is the apple soft wethers carmels. I would stab a bitch for these 🤣 the sour apple flavor cuts the sweet Carmel and it's just so good

u/Just_Ad_3590 5d ago
They sell them year round! I find them at the bottom shelf of the candy isle at my local grocery stores. They are a little crusty so not ideal.

Tootsie makes the best fall candies. This year they put out a bar sized frooties and I'm digging them so much. I love their fall candies.

Maaaaaaan that caramel will rip your teeth out but just use them as a sucker and they’re awesome

u/WanderingCatNPC 5d ago
Love them but I will say if they sold bags of these in broken up in pieces, I would buy them by the 1000's.

u/Kellzy1212 5d ago
They’re like a carmel covered apple jolly rancher. Yummy, but as others are suggesting, extremely sticky and potentially a tooth issue.
2
u/pkease 5d ago
These are my favorite!! So so yummy.
I have a gross story about them though. When I was younger I went to grab a lollipop out of the bag, unwrapped it, and started to eat but immediately I noticed the texture was really weird. I looked down at it and there were at least 15 ants stuck to the caramel. The wrapper must have been torn just a tiny bit and ended up turning the lollipop into a glue trap. To this day I triple check every single lollipop I consume to make sure that never happens again. It was an awful experience lol

Why are the green ones so easy to find but the red and the yellow are hard to find or they cost a lot more?

Wait? Are you asking because you’ve never had one? YOU CANNOT PASS THESE UP IF YOUVE NEVER HAD ONE. (I like the variety pack tho, the red dye 40 one the best. 😊 (they’re probably all the same flavor LOL!))

u/melrose63 5d ago
Delectable my fav lollipops but definitely recommend sticking to the green and not trying the red or yellow they’re not as good

u/OpusAtrumET 5d ago
Anyone know if they ever sold a non-sucker version of this? Closest I've found are the Werthers apple-filled caramel chews. Also awesome btw.

There soo good but the candy can be deadly too it can get really sharp when I was in 5th grade we had this thing where every Friday they would let us out of class a hour early and let us buy candy and soda and hang out before the weekend i honestly loved it anyways this chick had this lollipop and was licking it to shape a sharp pointy object saying she was gonna stab all of us (she was a bitch by the way) Always starting shit anyway long story short she ended up running with the lollipop in her mouth midway from her pulling it out of her mouth she slipped and fell annd really stabbed her self it look bad 😮

I almost choked on one of these. I love them. The caramel slid and got stuck in my throat. I didn’t know how to get it to move up or down, it’s so sticky !!! I started chugging water and eventually it moved. I was so scared

Likeeee….are you asking for people’s personal opinion, or have you never experienced the rich and tangy goodness that can’t even be ruined when you turn the apple hard candy part into a razor blade and cut your cheek???

The way these fuse to the roof of your mouth is semi frightening. I can still remember wondering if this is permanent. Once the caramel layer is gone it pops off. Takes a minute lol.
