Fire destroys thousands of cases of lollipops

ARCHBOLD, Ohio (AP) Fire broke out Tuesday at a candy warehouse, destroying about 110,000 cases of Dum Dum Pops and other treats.

About $6.5 million worth of Spangler Candy Co. products were destroyed in the blaze, said Dean Spangler, president and chief executive.

The 95-year-old company, based in the Ohio city of Bryan, produces 7 million Dum Dum Pops a day, at least five days a week.

''There will be plenty of Dum Dums for everyone,'' Spangler said. ''We're not going to run out.''
