Astro Pops are back!
Known as the longest lasting lollipop on the planet, this iconic candy is being re-launched by Leaf Brands this month. After being discontinued in 2004, the masses have been eagerly awaiting the return of their childhood favorite, Astro Pop.
Mad with the original three flavors of Passion Fruit, Pineapple and Cherry, this cone shaped lollipop was created in 1963 by two rocket scientists. Modeled after a three stage rocket, this candy is molded inside of its wrapper. 
We are anxiously awaiting our shipment of Astro Pops and expect them in at the end of July. To keep up to date on their arrival, please Like our Facebook Fan Page. We will update our page when they are received.

Cheerwine - A bit of North Carolina in Dallas
In 1917, in Salisbury North Carolina, L.D. Peeler wanted to create a soft drink of his own, and bought some very interesting cherry flavor from a traveling salesman from St. Louis. He experimented, mixing cherry with other flavors, and stumbled upon this singular flavor sensation, and Cheerwine was born.
Cheerwine has a milder sweet flavor with strong black cherry notes. With its deep burgundy color and higher level or carbonation, there is no other soft drink that compares.
We have been carrying Cheerwine for nearly 6 months and I am still amazed at the fans of this soft drink. Whether North Carolina natives that have relocated to Dallas or people that have tasted this incredible soft drink, people go crazy when they see we carry it. Whether you want just one glass bottle or a whole case of Cheerwine, now you know where to find it in Dallas.
Stay Sweet,
Nicole

Ginger Ale or Ginger Beer?
It has been brought to my attention that there is a difference between Ginger Ale & Ginger Beer (besides the name of course). I had no idea.
As usual when a situation like the presents itself, I have to go off and investigate. Here is what I found...
Ginger Ale - As Wiki states, Ginger Ale is a carbonated soft drink flavored with ginger (that I already knew). Ginger Ale was the most popular beverage between 1960 - 1930.
Ginger ales come in two varieties; "golden" and "dry". Golden ginger ale is dark colored, generally sweet to taste, with a strong ginger spice flavor. It is the older style and there is little or no difference between this and nonalcoholic versions of ginger beer. Many believe golden ginger ale is a form of ginger beer brought into North America by migrants from Eastern Europe.
Dry ginger ale (paler, and with much less of the ginger "kick") became popular in the United States during Prohibition, when it was used as a mixer for alcoholic beverages, as the strong flavor of golden ginger ale was undesirable. Dry ginger ale became much more popular than golden ginger ale. Today, golden ginger ale is an uncommon, and usually regional, drink. By contrast, dry ginger ale is produced on a vast scale for national and international consumers.
Commercial ginger beer is similar to ginger ale except that it has a significantly stronger ginger taste and is sometimes described as ginger ale with a kick. It may be cloudy, is sweet, and has a spicy ginger taste. Cloudy versions tend to still have small pieces of ginger in them, which usually means a much heavier ginger taste than the clearer types.
The ginger beer soft drink may be mixed with beer (usually a British ale of some sort) to make one type of shandy, and with dark rum to make a drink, originally from Bermuda, called the Dark 'N' Stormy. Ginger Beer is the main ingredient in the Moscow Mule cocktail.
Ginger being a natural plant is said to have medicinal properties and has given rise to the use of ginger ale or ginger beer being used to sooth upset stomachs, ease nausea and sea-sickness.
In any case, its an interesting tasting soft drink with that distinct ginger flavor. Currently Blooms carries 8 different ginger ales/beers:
- AJ Stephans Ginger Beer
- Blenheim Red Hot Ginger Ale
- Boylans Ginger Ale
- Cock N Bull Ginger Beer
- Empire Bottling Ginger Ale
- Bundaberg Australian Ginger Beer
- Sprecher Ginger Ale
- Vernors Ginger Ale
