Since then, the Sugar Daddy has become well known to kids and adults of all generations, making it a nostalgic and beloved candy and to this day, Sugar Daddy pops continue to deliver their long-lasting caramel enjoyment.
Sugar Daddy caramel pops remind me of summertime and my youth. When I was young, I used to visit my aunt in Ohio. She bought Sugar Daddy’s and other nostalgic treats of her youth at a nearby drugstore and kept them on hand for us kids and if I remember correctly, herself as well! We used to run around her backyard in our bathing suits, jumping through the sprinklers, climbing trees and playing freeze tag. She’d always bring out her jar of treats and let us choose one from the mix. I, being the smart cookie that I am, always chose the Sugar Daddy’s. They were creamy, delicious, sticky and lasted for FOREVER. I could run around all day with that one bar and barely make a dent in it. My hands were sticky for hours afterwards and I’m sure I was the target of every ant and bee within twenty miles of the place, but man oh man, was it worth it!o. and c
