I haven’t had a Ring Pop in forever, so when I found these Halloween Screaming Berry pops, I thought they looked appropriately festive and picked them up. Nice font use on the package, cute little bat thrown in there. And the Ring Pops themselves, if advertised correctly, are black and orange! I have no idea what berry flavoring has to do with anything, but at least they made the berries scream while they were being transformed into Ring Pops. That’s pretty hardcore Halloween.
The pops themselves totally deliver on the Halloweenosity, alternating between jet black and spooooooky orange. I thought they seemed smaller than the last Ring Pop I’d been in a room with, but my husband explained to me that no, I had just grown bigger. Fortunately, my fingers are dainty, so I was still able to wear the Ring Pop as it was properly intended.
Even though berry isn’t the scariest flavor in the world, it is one of my favorites. Although wearing a black and orange costume, I know it’s blue raspberry underneath, and blue raspberry rocks. The only thing better than sucking on a blue ring is sucking on a black-and-orange ring that tastes blue. My Screaming Berry Ring Pop lasted a satisfyingly long time, too.
I know this is a short review, but really, there’s not a whole lot to say. It’s a Halloween Ring Pop. It’s awesome! And it comes in packs of two, so after my lips un-shrivel from the sourness of the blue raspberry, I can have another one! Halloween is awesome because I can wear candy rings and get away with it.

Haha, I loved your last paragraph. When I read the title of the post, the first thing I thought was “what the hell is there to say about a ring pop?”. Nice work.
Funny, that’s the first thing I thought, too! Luckily I can blather about almost anything, at least for a few paragraphs.
I hate that candies like Snickers slap a pumpkin on a bag of Fun Size bars and call it a day, so even if I don’t have much to say about a product, I like to commend companies that at least give a little bit of effort to making Halloween as festive as possible.
I haven’t seen these yet.. nice seasonal find. even when these things did fit my fingers, I hated wearing them while eating because it just created a drooly mess. come to think of it, what if ring pops innovated their design by creating … a spit catcher around the pop?
or what if it was just me that couldn’t eat a ring pop without slobbing all over the place. it’s entirely possible. and I just admitted on the internet. awesome.
I have to say, I don’t have a drooling problem with Ring Pops. However, I did wind up just taking it off my finger and sticking it in my mouth, which conjured up rave/baby fetish imagery, both of which make me feel quite uncomfortable.
Alayjah this is not how you order ring pops off the internet
