The history of Dum Dums Dum Dums were invented in Dum Dum Pops were purchased by Spangler Candy in There were 7 original flavors: lemon, lime, orange, coconut- pineapple, cherry, grape, and butterscotch. The flavor mix is: Blue Raspberry, Butterscotch, Cherry, Cream Soda, Grape, Peach, Root Beer, Strawberry, Watermelon, Buttered Popcorn, Fruit Punch, Orange Cream, and the Mystery flavor. In October 2002 Chocolate, Bubble Gum, and Cotton Candy are added to the assortment. Orange Cream, Fruit Punch, and Peach will go on vacation.

Summery I do believe that this sample is a good representation of the data I hoped to find. The Dum Dums were generally evenly distributed in the amount for each flavor. Butterscotch had the most, while grape had the least. One question that this data made me think about is why the company does not put the flavor with the most number of votes on their online poll as the flavor with the most number of pops.
