Original Gourmet Lollipops

At World of Snacks our mission is to locate the best snacks in the world and offer them for sale here online in our international snack store. When a candy company striving to offer the best lollipops in the world contacted us, we knew we had to give them a try. So tonight we are reviewing Original Gourmet Lollipops.

Original Gourmet offers 24 different flavors of lollipops.  Although I was unfamiliar with this US based sweet company my 13 year old son already knew about these colorful pops.  In fact, he even already had a favorite flavor.  He also mentioned they last forever.  My son is a regular taster and is actively involved in World of Snacks - so I thought it would be fun if he invited his younger half-brothers to join us for the tasting. Typically taste-tests are brief and to the point.  However, with a treat that is sure to take a while to fully enjoy we decided to pair it with family game night.

The flavors we reviewed (as pictured) include Bubble Gum, Cotton Candy, and Birthday Cake. 

I personally joined in on the fun with an Original Gourmet Party Punch Lollipop as well.

And the game of choice, The Simpsons Spoons Card Game.  The "spoons" in this game are donuts, so it's appropriate for an international snack blog.

So now the setting is set, let's end the epic build up and get on with our lollipop review!

Original Gourmet Lollipop Bubble Gum Flavor

First up is the Bubble Gum flavor pop. Our taster actually dropped his.  It's did break, but only a little. These pops are solid!  He stated "it tastes exactly like bubble gum" and he really enjoyed it.  Later in the game he was dancing around and having a pretty good time.  Not sure if it was the sugar or the fun of the card game, but overall he was happy and we are sure the pop played a part in it.

Original Gourmet Cotton Candy Lollipop

Our youngest taste-tester opted for the Cotton Candy flavored pop.  After a series of questions we were able to determine he enjoyed the treat.  He later mentioned that he liked it but didn't articulate why. Lucky for us, we had a spare so I could follow up behind him.  I think I see why.  It does taste like Cotton Candy, but not overwhelmingly so.  However, we did both enjoy it and we think you would too.

Original Gourmet Birthday Cake Lollipop

Now this is the most intriguing flavor out of the assortment they sent us.  It's also my son's preferred flavor.  He said "just the smell alone makes his mouth water."  He went on to say "it tastes exactly like a birthday cake.  A really, really good birthday cake."  After his review I wish I had an extra to follow behind as I did with the Cotton Candy flavor.  He also finished it.  Took 50 minutes total!

Original Gourmet Party Punch Lollipop

Party punch? Typically I am not a punch flavored candy fan, however the swirls in the pop had me intrigued. The other option was Candy Cane flavor, so that's another reason I was excited to try this punch sucker. It did taste like punch but it almost had a creamy tinge to it that I really enjoyed. Something that caught me off guard was the size of the lollipop. They are massive at 1.1 ounce each.  At first it was a little off-putting but I quickly got over it.

So there you have it.  All our tester agree, we are fans of Original Gourmet Lollipops.  Typically we close our review with whether or not it's something we plan to add to our international snack store.  However, this treat is already widely available here in the US and is also offered for sale on their website.  So, right now we will not be offering these sweet treats for sale here online.  So if your mouth is watering for a gourmet lolly be sure to check them out directly.  As always, keep on snacking world!
