Epic Win: Ring Pops
Submitted by L Heilman
Future lady’s men were born on the school yard with Ring Pops. While most kids that got their hands on a ring pop would hoard them or quickly chew the delicious hard candy off its ring base, you could always tell who the heart-breakers were going to be by which boys would look past the cooties and give away or share their ring pops with the girls. Some of them just never got past it – Nick Cannon for instance, proposed to Mariah Carrey with a Ring Pop. Apparently it worked too because they’ve been married since April of ‘08.
>SCHLURRRRRRRP<
I asked my husband to marry me with a ring pop. Good times.
OMG Ring Pops were SO an Epic Win. I’m 25 now and I still love em! Although, I get a little miffed when they don’t fit my fingers.
I couldn’t wear them on my fingers when I was younger because I had a phobia of sticky things.
Ring Pops are the kind of candy that starts out really good but gradually gets sticker and more uncomfortable.
They don’t fit my fingers now either, but that’s okay. I don’t mind looking like an idiot with a pacifier as long as I have that delightfully strong cherry- and grape-flavored goodness. ^n_n^
After a few minutes, they look like pacifiers.
They actually make ringpop-ish things nowadays shaped like a baby’s bottle. In the ‘bottle’ there’s a kind of sour powder to dip it in. I think they’re called “Big Baby Pops” or something to that effect.
They are called Baby Bottle Pops, just thought you would like to know.
Actually, I walked over to the local candystore and – in Holland at least – they are indeed called “Big Baby Pops”. *shrugs and schlurps*
They used to advertise them on TV in America as Baby Bottle Pops and they even had their own silly jingle. Baby bottle pops = fail. Ring pops = WIN.
Oh so tasty!
yay for artificially sticky & sweet fingers!!
The one second from the left looks like there’s brain or something in it. >.<
yeah, they’ve got newer ones with gel in the middle, there not as good as the older ones.
My husband actually proposed to me with a Ring Pop, lol
Lol I really don’t want an engagement ring so my boyfriend keeps threatening to propose with a Ring Pop!
I always hated Ring Pops. They make your hands sticky and gooey with your own lollipop juice-filled drool.
Me too, glad I wasn’t the only one who didn’t like these. This is one of the first “wins” that I didn’t agree with too, lol. Why anyone likes to have icky sticky drooly stuff on their hand all day is beyond me.
Mariah and Nick have been married since APRIL OF 2008! WOWZA, a RECORD! Lemme tell my son to cancel the diamond and go with the guarantee to happiness!
Ring Pops! As soon as I saw the photo, I got the jingle stuck in my head.
“It’s a lollipop without a stick
A ring of flavour you can lick!
Ooooo Ring Pop!”
My parents would never let me have them and now that I’m old enough, they don’t sell them anywhere.
Lol, where are you from? I don’t even like these things and I know they still sell them everywhere.
My mother hated those things when I was a kid; she said it looked I had a pacifier in my mouth at the age of seven. There is nothing worse than a seven year old with a binky.
My mom used to smack my arm (not hard for those that are about to scream child abuse) when she saw a kid using a pacifier that was way too old to. Now I think back and wonder how many of them were just eating these… lol!
Those were great, I’m not sure but I may have seen them at Smart & Final. Every time sticky goop would get all over my hand.
I have to give the ring pops an epic fail because someone I know (an adult) actually choked to death on one when she sucked it and it came off the ring and got lodged in her throat. True story, it happened in Florida, not an urban legend. So please, please, please, be careful with these!!!
Oh noez killer ring pops!!!
Just when the world couldn’t get worse…
Q.Q
she must have awesome throat power… man i wish she was still alive… would love to put my “ring pop” in her mouth
Oh please, you can choke to death on anything that’s small enough to fit in your mouth… this is as bad as the people who managed to cut themselves with slap bracelets so they tried to outlaw those.
I mean OMG my friend choked on a jelly bean!!! Don’t eat them they’ll kill you!! :O
and when you are done, it looks like a you are sucking a pacifier… how lame… but tasty…
watermelon FTW
WIN! Hooray! I only just noticed the WIN i submitted was on here! w00t!!
These things are freaken great! They may have been a little bit gooey and gruesome, but that is an awesome part of being a kid!!
I also love love love the ring pop jingle. FTW! “its a juicy-cool flavor, OOoOoh RING POP!”
my best friend growing up proposed to me with one…we never got married, but we did have a great time slurping sticky mess off our hands!
I think i can fit them on my pinky finger..im going to get me some of these later on…yummmm
btw…Watermelon is teh bestest evar.
Oh man, I remember those.
I’d love one right now haha.
I remember those cotton candy ones…..eugh those were the worst. D:
candy is never a fail.
These just get better with the years.
ring pops, laced with drugs? hope not, but it could explain a lot of things.
