I had never tasted this candy previously, but the pink and blue colors worked for my event. Also, I was looking for a sucker that was larger than a "dum dum" and was flat, instead of round, to decrease the choking risk for children. I was super hesitant to purchase, based on the reviews of the number of suckers received that were broken. I went ahead and ordered 2 boxes well ahead of the event so I could return them if necessary.I received them today and found both boxes packed loosely in a larger box with the other items I ordered. To my surprise, I had to search hard to even find one lollipop that appeared to be broken!I decided to taste one of the broken pieces only to find out that it APPEARED to be broken, but in fact, was not! (see picture) I went ahead and started sucking on it and, not only was it yummy (for a sucker), it took forever to even break apart in my mouth. Obviously, these things are durable and tasty!I, obviously, am pleased with this purchase, but thought there are 2 things that a buyer should know if it matters to their event. 1: The lollipops are FLAT not round like they appear on the box. 2: Most of the suckers are swirled pink and blue. Only a few are solid pink or solid blue.
