I came across some interesting trivia today: the "mystery" flavor Dum Dum is actually a combination of two flavors. It's created when one flavor switches to another on the machinery. How bout that!
And here's some more info about everyone's favorite wee lollipop: in February, two new flavors were added, mango and tangerine. Sadly, chocolate, banana and coconut-pineapple will retire.

I can't believe they are getting rid of coconut pineapple! That is our favorite flavor! Bastards!!!! All those meories of happy trips to the pediatrician vaccumed into a vortex of despair.
Hi! My name is Tom and I actually work t the Spangler Candy Co. plant in Bryan, OH, where ALL the Dum Dums are made, in packing and Quality Control. There are actually two ways that the mystery pops are made. The first is just as you described. The second is that as the dum dum come down the chutes to be packed in bags, there is one last person that sorts through them. If there happened to be some that have come unwrapped, they save them to be re wrapped. In an effort to save time rather than sort them all out, they are all rewrapped as mystery flavor.
Cool sight, czndy is fun!
