The candy has been on the market in the United States and Canada since the 1940s[1] and was originally called Lik-M-Aid.

Fun Dip is similar to another Wonka product Pixy Stix, but sold in small pouches, rather than paper or plastic straws.

When rebranded in the 1970s as Fun Dip, two edible candy sticks called "Lik-A-Stix" were added.

[1][4] While the original flavors consisted of lime, cherry and grape, the most common flavors are cherry, grape, and a raspberry/apple combination that turns from blue when dry to green when wet with saliva or water.

Since 2012, there has been an Easter edition known as Springtime Fun Dip, which includes the flavors of watermelon and strawberry.
