Ring Pops

What's that on her hand? Is it a ring? Is it candy? It's F***KING BOTH!!

Ring Pop is a brand of fruit flavored lollipops that usually come in a ring shape that you can wear on your hand/fingers like a ring.  Traditionally, they come in 6 flavors: cotton candy, cherry bubble gum, water- melon, blue raspberry, strawberry and star grazer grape.  Ring Pops are manufactured by Topps.

It's not surprising that they are famous amongst not just children but teenagers and even adults as well.  I mean, come on, IT'S CANDY YOU CAN WEAR.  The only other thing in the same category as Ring Pops are Candy Necklaces, and those don't taste half as good.

These days, Ring Pops are making a comeback thanks to famous celebrities and hipsters who love to wear the candy ironically.  They are often worn as accessories by stars like Lindsay Lohan, and Madonna. Ring Pop graced the finger of singer Fergie in her Fergalicious music video. Nick Cannon renewed vows with Mariah Carey using a RingPop. 

In early 2010, Bazooka Candy Brands, the makers of the iconic Ring Pop, gifted Swarovski-encrusted Ring Pops to recently engaged A-listers Katy Perry, Kristen Bell, and Carrie Underwood. Each signature Ring Pop created for the brides-to-be was bedazzled with 50 Swarovski crystals! These guys sure know how to publicize their product.

Special Ring Pops are made for some holidays. Easter Ring Pops use the traditional plastic ring but replace the jewel shaped hard candy with Chicks or Bunnies. Erotic shaped Ring Pops are manufactured and sold for Valentine's Day. The most well known Ring Pop seasonal ring is on Groundhogs Day, where they make ring pops that are in the shape and look of a Groundhog. Most people have come to call the flavor "Klystia".
