I LOVE these lollipops, and have never tried a flavor I didn't like. I definitely appreciate the lack of high fructose corn syrup and artificial colors when I'm looking for an occasional treat to satisfy my sweet tooth!
There is a nice mix of flavors, but for those who are picky, they are not evenly distributed. Of the 330 lollipops I received in my 5-lb. bag,
64 (19%) Tart Sour Apple
58 (18%) Googly Grape
39 (12%) Mango Tango
32 (10%) Strawberry Smash
28 (8%) Ginger Zest
25 (8%) Wet-face Watermelon
24 (7%) Pomegranate Pucker
22 (7%) Cheeky Lemon
17 (5%) Orange Squeeze
11 (3%) Blood Orange Cocktail
8 (2%) Very Very Cherry
2 (<1%) Tooberry Blueberry

UPDATED 09-02-10 - We hear you loud and clear, amazon lolly lovers!!! We have changed to an almost even assortment of flavors per 5lb bulk bag and Counter Bin EXCLUSIVELY FOR AMAZON so make sure you are buying from Amazon directly (it will say "Ships from and sold by Amazon" under IN STOCK). Sorry, the assortment is still random when buying this item via a 3rd party, such as DAB Nutrition "fulfilled by Amazon". Please note that the assortment is ALMOST even as compared to a completely random flavor assortment. Your feedback drives this company from ingredient requests and allergy needs to flavor requests to flavor ratios. We appreciate your feedback and hope that you know that we are listening. I am truly sorry for posting this note here with a 5 star review since I do not want anyone to think that we are trying to mislead anyone with a "fake" product review, but I could not really figure out any other way to communicate this to our Amazon friends. Thank you again for your wonderful reviews!

Dealing with an allery to corn isn't easy, but these lollipops sure make it seem a lot easier. They're wonderfully flavored, organic, and made by a company who honestly cares about its customers. These are a great find and a staple of my house. They're just awesome, its hard to believe they're corn-free.

I am a BIG fan of lollipops, and I have to report that these are, hands-down, the best I've ever tasted. The flavors are original and tasty, and the shape of the pop is just right. And, I don't have to worry about ingesting the great unknown yellow #5 or red #2. Go Yummy Earth! I can't wait to see what these guys come out with next!

If there is a great sale on an Amazon product and I have amazon gift certificates, invariably I will make a purchase if the reviews are up in the sky. And just as often, when the product arrives, it does so fresh from it's crash back to earth.

And so it goes with Yummy Earth's Organic Lollipops. I am now the owner of 700 of them, and while they aren't disgusting, they definitely aren't deserving of the praise received. Most reviewers have given them 5 stars, a constellation I now refer to as "Ignoria-Major."

The flavors are OK, ranging from the avoidable Grape and Strawberry, to the sparse but good Sour Apple and Blueberry. And despite the photographs, these lollipops are relatively small; more like small pieces of hard candy thrown on a stick for lollipops sake.

For the reviewer who claimed they lacked sugar, the primary ingredient is Evaporated Cane Juice. That's sugar, just not refined in the way sugar usually is.

So my suggestion is simple, and one I address more to myself than perhaps you: Don't be afraid of missing out on the sale, because it might actually be a good thing. Find the item at a local store, buy a small amount, and go from there.

Can't go wrong here. Intense flavor and impressive ingredients. I love 'em and everyone I give them to loves them. Get a load of these ingredients: organic evaporated cane juice, organic tapioca syrup (no sulfites added), non-GMO citric acid (from non-GMO sugar beet), organic & natural flavors* (watermelon, pomegranate, orange oils, lemon oils, raspberry), organic & natural colors (red cabbage, purple carrots). * = Cheeky Lemon, Wet-Face Watermelon, Pomegranate Pucker, Orange Squeeze, & upcoming Mango Tango flavor contain some amount of orange or lemon or citrus oils (0.58% of the natural flavor formula of watermelon is derived from lemon oil). Safflower oil is in the Wet-Face Watermelon and upcoming Mango Tango. HOLY COW!!! AND THEY'RE REALLY REALLY GOOD!

They are sweet without being just another blob of solid corn syrup. They have a wonderful fruit flavor and smell divine. They don't have that fake smell. They smell like real fruit. Their smell has prompted several people to stop us and ask what our kids had because they wanted to go an buy some too. They are a hit with kids and adults here.

I bought this product after reading the reviews. And I must say they are sooo good. I thought Jolly Rancher flavors were great, but these are by far better than ranchers. They don't burn your tongue, and the size of the lollipop is perfect - not to little, not too much. I took it to my workplace and folks loved it. I also shared it with a friend who's a teacher and she passed it to the kids in her class as treats. She told me the kids loved it as well.

The reason I'm giving 4 stars is because there is room for improvement - I wish they add more flavors.

my friend told me how she loves these YummyEarth lollipops, so I bought a bag to share at work. everyone loves them like crazy and we're almost done with them in just a few days. really packed with great flavor. different than other candy. very fruity and real tasting, not like overly sugary fake flavor of regular candy. just awesome taste. pretty cool, too, that it's organic.

With the exception of the pomegranate flavor, these have been a huge hit with the kids. Buying the 5 lb. bag is the most economical (the 150 count is disappointing in size)however, some of the pops came in broken or out of their wrappers.
