Extra Dessert Delights Orange Crème Pop

Flavor: Summer is upon us (finally), and what says summer more than Orange Crème Pops? As a Jersey shore native, that orange cream flavor strikes a particularly nostalgic chord in me, harkening back to long summer days and dripping Kohr's Custard cones and orange sodas. I was really excited when I heard the Dessert Delights line had extended its expertise to one of the most delicious of desserts, but I have to say I'm a little let down here. Mint Chocolate Chip was such a pleasant surprise, a long-lasting, actually satisfying low-calorie treat, that I really expected Orange Crème Pop to knock my socks off. At first I was like, "Whoa!" But then I was all, "Meh." It starts out really strong, a tangy burst on the tip of your tongue and then a flood of creamy flavor, like that first bite into your ice pop before it starts to melt in the heat, but it instantly faded into a nutra-sweet-esque, dull orange flavor that actually grossed me out after a while. Not impressed.

Texture: The texture falls a little short, especially for Extra. It gets pretty tough very quickly, and the pieces seem smaller than other Extra varieties. Again, not impressed.

Presentation: The package is consistent with the other Dessert Delights, pretty simply showcasing the dessert it claims it represents. Not too much to report here, although I'm not sure I would associate actual orange slices with that delicious crème pop, it's an entity unto itself.

Overall: It's ok. I guess if you just want the flavor of the pop without the actual pop, go ahead and buy it, it's worth a try. But personally, I'm going to get my butt down to the boardwalk and get me some swirly orange and cream custard in a waffle cone, with rainbow sprinkles. Mmmm...

  9. Gums are very tasty specially for children's. But, sometimes they can harm us specially to our teeth. But, that's the great discussion that has been done over it. Thanks a lot for sharing this lucrative article.

  13. I was excited to try the Orange Crème Pop after the Mint Chocolate Chip surprised me. The initial burst of flavor was great, but I agree with the review; it fades fast. Not my favorite, but still a decent gum for a change.

  14. The review nailed it. Started strong, but the artificial aftertaste was a dealbreaker for me. Also, the texture was off. I'll stick to the classics.

  15. I actually enjoyed the Orange Crème Pop! The tangy burst was refreshing, and while the flavor didn't last as long as I hoped, it was a nice change. Texture-wise, it held up better for me than the reviewer experienced.

  16. Couldn't disagree more with the review. The flavor was nauseating, and the texture was downright awful. Not worth the money.

  17. I'm on the fence with this one. The initial burst was fantastic, but I get what the reviewer means about the artificial taste. Not bad, but not a go-to.

  18. Texture killed it for me. Got tough way too quickly. The flavor was alright, but I expected more from Extra. Back to my usual gum.

  19. I'm a sucker for anything orange-flavored, so I might be biased. The initial tanginess made me smile. Texture was fine for me. Not perfect, but I'd buy it again. Decent gum, but the hype fell short. I agree with the review on the artificial taste. Expected more from Dessert Delights. Good for a change, though.

  20. I loved it! The burst of flavor took me back to childhood summers. Sure, it didn't last forever, but it was fun while it did. Will buy again. Disappointed. The review is spot on about the fading flavor. For the price, I expected better. Won't be trying this one again
