About
As of 2026, it's 74 years old.
Fun Dip is candy that asks you to eat your own utensil, which is the most metal thing a kid's snack has ever done. A pouch of flavored sugar powder plus a hard candy stick you lick, dip, and lick again — until, triumphantly, you just eat the stick too.
Sold for decades (originally as Lik-M-Aid), it's pure, unstructured sugar with a built-in activity and zero nutritional defense.
Tangy, sweet, and gloriously pointless, Fun Dip is the candy where the spoon is also a snack and dinner is officially ruined.
