Dum Dum Pop or (Dum Dums) is a ball-shaped candy named by I.C. Bahr, a Sales Manager at the Akron Candy Company in Bellevue, Ohio, in 1924. In 1953 the Dum Dum Pop was purchased by Spangler Candy and moved manufacturing to Bryan, Ohio.
Dum Dums are made from sugar and corn syrup that is cooked before coloring and flavoring are added. After pressing, the paper stick is then added.
