Whirly Pops are very popular these days. Photographers, school fundraisers, and party planners are doing their research to find the best bargain on these bulk old fashioned lollipops. At Southwest Candy, you can purchase them for only$1.40 each. Order as little as 20 pieces, or order a full case of 60 pieces. You will find it difficult to beat our online pricing.
First- size matters. You know you are getting a 1.5oz lollipop with a 3-inch diameter lollipop head and its total length being 7inches long when you include the stick. This is a great size to use as a party favor, place setting, or bunch a few together to make a lollipop bouquet.
Color coordinate! So many colors to choose from- which is why Whirly pops are great for baby showers, wedding showers, weddings, and corporate events. Just the other day a company showcasing their tent at The Race for the Cure purchased our Pink and White Whirly Pops.
Taste is unexpected! Think you know what each color's flavor is? We thought we did until we did our research….
Pink and White – Bubble Gum
Blue and White – Blue Raspberry
Purple and White – Grape
Green and White – Apple
Red and White – Cherry
Orange and White – Orange
Brown and White – Root Beer
Black and White – Marshmallow
Who's Your Candy?

We are going to start carrying individual color Whirly Pops:
red and white, pink and white, and blue and white. But what do you all think about black and white? These lollipops are 3inches in diameter and come on a long, thick, white stick- so great for candy bouquets and party favors!
  
You can wrap each with cellophane, and plop a round, white sticker on the front to personalize each of them for a party or fundraiser event.

Looking for a unique candy to advertise your company, use for an election, or perhaps give out to guests as a party favor? This is a neat idea- the Giant Pixy Stick. A super large straw filled with candy powder is what every child dreams about- trust me, I watched my nephew devour one in minutes.
With a variety of flavors: Grape, Maui Punch, Cherry, or Orange, and standing tall at 21-inches tall, you will definitely make an impression on your audience.
100 stix is only $34.90- which means each stick costs you only $.34!
So campaign for office, market your company, or thank a party guest and watch their eyes light up as you hand them their Giant Pixy Stick!

Remember fund raising candy? Those large boxes of M&Ms, Snickers and Reese’s Cups that kids sold for Little League, Cub Scouts or band trips? We sold those too. I’d get a couple of calls a day about them. This was one of the more unusual:
Me: Good afternoon, candy department…
Customer: Hello! My name is [name] and I’m the head of the math department at [a City of Atlanta middle school]. I’ve heard that you folks carry fund raising candy, and I was hoping to get some information about that.
Me: OK, well, we carry Snickers, M&Ms, Skittles, Reese’s Cups, and Kit Kats. They sell for a dollar a bar and come in a 30 count box, which we sell to you for $15.
Customer: So it’s a 50% profit for us, then?
Me: No, ma’am. It’s actually 100% profit.
Customer: I think you’re mistaken, young man. I’m pretty sure it’s 50% profit.
Me: You’re doubling your money, ma’am. That’s 100% profit.
Customer: Son, I’m in charge of the math department here at [school] and I think I understand percentages.
Me: Well, OK. But “50% profit” means that you get back half of what you put into it. Half of $15 is $7.50, so if it were 50% profit you’d get back $22.50, not $30.
Customer: Wait… what?
Me: And 100% profit would mean that you get back 100% of your original investment. In this case, you put in $15 and get $15 back in profit. That’s 100%.
Customer: Ummmmm… Yeah, I… well… Uhhh… I’m going to have to call you back…
Me: Have a good afternoon, ma’am.
[I hang up the phone]
Coworker: Glad my kids didn’t go to City of Atlanta schools!

 BACK TO SCHOOL!! You know what that means?? Fundraising for your school! Times are tough for schools these days so why not do a fundraiser with candy as the prize?! We just had a customer call who is preparing early for her annual school fundraiser! She is using our amazing Unicorn Lollipops as the prize for a ring toss game! Place rows of Unicorn Pops in styrofoam on a table top and let the kids go crazy and toss the rings! If they make it around the Unicorn Pop then they get the pop as their prize! The Unicorn Pops are so fun and brightly colored that all the kids will want a chance to win one!! And don’t forget all of the sporting events at your school this fall where candy would be a HUGE HIT and a great way to raise some funds for the teams! WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL!! Everyone have a great year!!
