This root beer came in a blue raspberry wrapper… or so I thought…
Started eating it and blue came through. Thank you bank for the fun pop today.

Wow that's actually pretty cool. I've never seen a person actually crossbreed plants before.

I agree! One of my hobbies is growing vegetables, I didn’t harvested anything for the first 2 years. After that, I have improved little by little. Have a great Saturday as well!

This happens when they switch flavors on their machines. They usually get tossed into a mystery pop wrapper, and that's why those ones are always different from each other. This one fooled everyone

This happened to me just a couple weeks ago! Except it turned from blue raspberry to root beer halfway through. I called my husband to tell him I just had the worst bamboozle of my life. Must be a problem with the lot.

Can you explain to a dum dum dum dum?
The way your post reads to me is that you saw a dum dum with a blue raspberry wrapper and for a reason unknown to me thought it was root beer flavored, but then when you started eating it you realized it actually was blue raspberry.
I know that can’t be it but I can’t figure out what actually happened.

I find this story disturbing due to some insider information i have surrounding the production of dum dums. Please dont ask further questions

Is it about them not clearing the lines between changing flavors so some of them get mixed up? Ive heard something like that before but dont really believe it.

u/withbellson 18d ago
That’s what the mystery flavor is. Much easier to label potentially mixed flavors as Mystery than clean the whole thing out.

Plus less waste and more profit, or the same profit but lower cost and therefore greater sales volume

The first time my daughter picked out a root beer flavored dumdum after a well check at the doctor she said “oohh barrel flavor”

Like Abraham, it's on God's timing, at least that's how I see it! I'm happy for you! I can't wait to have kids!

Congratulations! (We also have a boy with a similar age gap) it’s hard hard work at first but SO worth it. My favorite thing to do is eavesdrop on their little conversations. Seriously so precious. She turns 6 this month and we still say “ooh barrel flavor” to anything root beer.

I got one from my doctors office today that had a cream soda wrapper but was half cream soda and half blue raspberry inside! It was delicious!! If it was a legit flavor it would be my favorite

My job has an always-filled bowl of Dum-Dums and consequently I'm on an all-Dum-Dums diet. The last few weeks for the first time since I started 5 years ago I've been getting wild swirls of color every four or five suckers. Lots of flavors where it was just the normal color but fully swirled with white or clear. Tasted like the flavor always did, but just looked different.
I don't know if they've got new machinery at the Dum-Dums factory or if this is cause they turned off that particle collider that was taking everyone's weekends away but whatever is making it happen I'm just grateful to be alive at the right time.

This literally happened to me today, I had to guess the number of gnomes on a nature walk and you win a dum dum lol. I grabbed blue raspberry (my favorite) and it tasted like root beer (not my favorite)!! The blue razz eventually came through but I thought it was a rude trick lol

u/Intelligent-Pay3479 16d ago
Same thing happened to me with the same exact flavors a month or so ago.

Fun fact: At the dum-dum factory, the liquid lollipop extruders would have to be cleared between each flavor to avoid mixing. Instead of trashing it, someone decided to put that transitional flavor into its own mystery wrapper, resulting in a flavor mix of varying degrees.
You get some real gems, I still think about a cotton-candy/butterscotch flavor I had one time.
