In honor of our historic 2016 US Presidential Election Day currently in progress, I’ve decided to offer up a bonus post showcasing Spangler’s own 2008 Election for two Dum Dums (Pops).\u00a0 Make the jump to check it out!<\/p>\n

Over the years Spangler has introduced and offered up all manner of limited edition Dum Dum Pop flavors, sometimes even allowing fans to create them.\u00a0 Back in 2008, they released a special “Pop Vote ’08” assortment featuring eight new flavors with the invitation for consumers to vote to “elect” which two flavors would become a part of the standard variety.<\/p>\n

And in a bit of Mad magazine-like humor, the package copy presented us with what I think was a subtle dig at the political system.<\/p>\n

The Pop Vote ’08 assortment was a pretty good one with eight new Dum Dum Pop flavors presenting their candidacy:<\/p>\n

All eight of those sound pretty good to me, though I’m not certain of which two Dum Dum Pop flavors actually won the ’08 election.\u00a0 So that’s a bit of confectionery election history I will have to continue research and get back to you on later.<\/p>\n

And with that, that’s everything I’ve got to share on Spangler’s Dum Dum Pops PopVote ’08.\u00a0 See you next time and Happy Election Day!!<\/p>\n
