Iltalehti previously reported that the Moomin lollipop, which was withdrawn from sale in 2024, will be in stores again in September.
However, cult lollipops have experienced a big change. Lollipops have new flavors and shapes.
Previously, Moomin lollipops were litan and heart-shaped. The new version is round and tastes like strawberry, lemon or orange. The old flavors were raspberry, lemon and apple.
The change arouses emotions in the readers of Iltalehti. Many are happy with the return of the classic candy, but not everyone likes the changes.
– I’m a fan of Moomin lollipops. They have many times bribed children to be quiet, cured their hunger for sweets and surprised their loved ones. It was a sad day when they disappeared from the stores. Good to have them back. I only missed raspberry, he writes Jonna K.

According to Fazer, it was the shape of the old lollipops that was the reason for stopping sales. In lollipops, the size, hardness and shape of the candy, combined with the stick softening in the mouth, could create a dangerous situation if the candy came off the stick suddenly.
