My first Dots memory took place around 1997. I was seven, my brother, Ben, was ten and we were at the CVS (drug store) near our house. Ben picked up a box of Dots and held it to his chest and said, “I’m addicted to Dots!” Naturally, I did the same exact thing; I picked up a box of Dots, held it to my chest and exclaimed, “I’m addicted to Dots!” I soon realized that, though Dots are tasty, they aren’t my favorite candy and I’m surely not addicted to them. This is one candy that is definitely not reluctant to get stuck in your teeth.
Each one of these extra chewy, smooth, gumdrop shaped candies is bursting with flavor whether it be cherry, strawberry, lemon, lime, or orange.
Dots hit the market in 1945 with Mason and since then they have been America’s number one selling gumdrop brand.
Tootsie bought out Mason in 1972 and now produces over four billion Dots every year, making sure to prevent its addicts from suffering from withdrawal.
