Tootsie Pops

I am sick, so right now these sound terrible, but these are a classic candy and nut free too! They're actually quite good, and every flavor is decent, although I think I like the reds the best. Maybe orange is the worst, but still OK. The tootsie roll inside is kind of weird, but it's certainly better than gum (i.e. blow pops) because you can swallow it! Anyway, for a lolly, these are great.

Caramel: My mom got me a whole bag of caramel flavored tootsie pops for Christmas because she heard me mention the caramel apple pop once and got confused! Poor sweet mom. Sadly, I don't like the caramel flavor as much as the "traditional" flavors, but it isn't bad. A nice caramelly taste, but kind of marred by the underlying tootsie roll. Texture is also odd for caramel which I want to chew. But it's OK. 6/10

Watermelon: This is part of Mr. Owl's Summer Favorites special edition mix. It tastes exactly like a watermelon tootsie pop would taste. A little tastier than a watermelon jolly rancher (less tart? on a stick?), but not as delicious as cherry tootsie pop. Pretty nice though. 7/10

Blue Raspberry: Another Summer Favorite, and it does feel like a summery popsicle. Basically the same flavor as a blue raspberry dum dum, but with the added bonus of being Big, and therefore more delicious. A little creamy almost, like those big hardware store sphere-lollies (possibly just this way because of increased salivation? idk).  7/10

Fruit Punch: Could it be? An exception to the 'red flavors are best' rule? This tastes basically identical to the fruit punch dum dum, and that tastes exactly like Hawaiian Punch as a lolly, which is fine, but not especially delicious or complex. A bottom tier Tootsie! Below Orange, maybe even. 6/10

Ghoulish Green Apple: As you may have guessed from the name, this is from a "Spooktacular" Halloween Assortment. Has a very cute cat on the wrapper. At first, this tastes just like the starburst green apple pops, but at second... it's strictly worse. A very un-bright undernote of "trash", "burnt oven", something not good. Like peanut smells like to me (death). I guess it's good for Halloween, but not good for eating. 4/10

Scary Berry: What's the scariest Berry? According to Tootsie, I guess it's grape. That IS a scary berry; it's hardly even a berry. This is purple and tastes like buttery toast with grape jelly on, or maybe raspberry jelly. It's pretty good, although why is it buttery? And toasty? Weirdly, even with that it doesn't evoke the burnt death vibes of the apple one. Flavor is so weird. 6/10

Overall
Cost: 9/10
Taste: 7/10
