While I typically write about the nuiances of stupidity, I was thinking about dum dums today (you could probably say that in of itself is pretty stupid…with all that is going on in the world, and I’m thinking about dum dums…) Maybe I need to find something else to occupy my time, like the Cult TV Series?

If you aren’t fully familiar with dum dums, this is what they look like:

Basically, just a tasty lollipop, though I haven’t eaten one in years. I always liked the mystery ones when I was a kid.

I thought I’d check out their website – did you know if you collect 20 dum dum wrappers you can get free/cheap stuff from them? I didn’t! You can see what I mean here.

They always hand them to my son anytime we go to the bank or other small store, since I guess where I live its standard procedure to give kids lollipops so they stay out of trouble.

Do you like dum dums? Have any thoughts on them? Do your banks and stores give them to kids for free?
