Fun Dip is a candy manufactured by
The Willy Wonka Candy Company, a brand owned by
Nestlé. The candy has been on the market in the
United States since April 1942
[1], and was originally called Lik-M-Aid. It was originally manufactured by Sunline, Inc, through their
Sunmark Brands division, which was purchased by
Nestlé in January 1989. The candy was then rebranded as Fun Dip, and added to the Willy Wonka product line, although it retains the Lik-M-Aid subtitle in a diminished presentation.
Fun Dip is similar to fellow Wonka product
Pixy Stix, but sold in small pouches, rather than paper or plastic
straws. It generally consists of three packets of flavored and colored
sugar, along with two edible candy sticks called "Lik-A-Stix". It is intended to be consumed by licking the sticks and using the moistened stick to collect some of the sugar. The most common flavors are
cherry,
grape, and a
raspberry/
apple combination that turns from blue when dry to green when wet with
saliva. It also comes in
sour flavors, including sour
watermelon, sour
apple, and sour
lemonade. Packets with one stick and two flavors were once the standard, and packets with only one or two flavors are still available with less prominence than the now-standard three-flavor package.
The Lik-A-Stix was introduced by the 1970s. The stick resembles a rather flat stick of white
chalk. Recently, fruit flavored stix have been introduced.

Couldn't remember if I had shown a "almost-finished" pool picture. Still have landscaping to do and we are missing our cool slide. Guess we have to look forward to something next year...
