Charms Super Candy Corn Blow Pop
Their seasonal aisle had a good selection of the specialty Halloween items (though not as much bagged candy as other places like Target or KMart). I found the Super Blow Pops there on sale at 50 cents each, so I bought two. Instead of an opaque printed wrapper, this version of the Blow Pop uses a clear wrapper to show off the candy inside, something I’ve not seen them use on the Blow Pop line before. There are only two colors on this, orange and yellow ... there’s no white top on the layers.
The gum at the center smelled terrible, just like the Caramel Apple version. There’s some sort of caustic chemical scent to it and the chew is stiff at first. Biting it sounds like tearing a phone book, a multitude of ripping layers all at once. It softens up and in this case, the flavor is pretty bland. It does become a bubble gum eventually, for a few minutes there’s a right balance between flavor and sugar before it all gives up and becomes like a wad of chewed paper. I’m not sure what flavor the gum is supposed to be, it’s not green apple, it’s not colorful ... it might have been butterscotch. The initial experience was probably better than any other I’ve had with a Blow Pop this year, but that’s not saying much. But I’ll go ahead and give this a positive review, if you want a jumbo butterscotch Blow Pop, this would be the lollipop for you. It’s pretty, it’s pretty cheap. Charms pops are made in a nut free and gluten free facility, but always check the labels or call the manufacturer if you’re in doubt. Related Candies

Commenting is not available in this channel entry.I’m totally jealous of your Walgreens now. I thought the one I usually visit was nice, but it’s nothing like that! For some strange reason I’m obsessed with this store. It’s probably because they have the freshest and best selection of candy in my area. Of course, all my shopping is candy-centric.
I finally found some of the regular Candy Corn pops and actually did a “tasting”. Both pops, side by side. It’s weird, but I don’t think the regular pop has as much flavor as the blo-pop. It definitely has a different texture, a very smooth, fine texture, particularly in the white area (which is half the sucker). Perhaps that fine texture has something to do with the muted flavor of the pop. The saltiness is much more pronounced in the blo-pop for sure.
Okay, right first time..this is more of a “lollipop”(see Charms Candy Corn lollipops)..Candy corn really has come into its own as Cybele has said..How about circus peanut flavor (banana, or, finger nail polish remover)
Cybele, the Walgreens you mention sounds like a description of the Las Vegas Strip Walgreen, across from the Hard Rock Cafe, by McDonalds by one of the big footbridges, northeast, just down from planet Hollywood., There’s a big two story Walgreens, out of the many in Las Vegas that exist on the strip! Have a yummy time..
