In 3, 2, 1 BLASTOFF! This may seem silly, but honestly, these were how Astro Pops came to be.
In 1963, two rocket scientists decided to quit their jobs working in the space program and dedicate their careers to delicious, out-of-this-world (no pun intended, I know it’s corny) ASTRO POPS.
This candy was modeled after a three-stage rocket, with a high-speed cone-wrapping velocity.
The cone wrapper these scientists created was the mold for the popular Astro Pops, which soon became space-crazy fans' favorite candy.
The hot candy is poured directly into the mold, and then a stick is added until the candy hardens, and BAM, the Astro Pop is created.
The candy was purchased by its original maker by Spangler Candy in 1987 and was branded as the “longest-lasting lollipop on earth".
Spangler Candy also expanded the flavor profile of the Astro Pops, ranging from sour grape to vanilla.
The product was discontinued in 2004, but eventually Leaf Brands acquired the rights to the candy because Astro Pops was one of the CEO’s favorites.
As a result, Astro Pops are now available in many new flavors, or you can stick to the classic!
Who says that it doesn't take a rocket scientist to make a delicious lollipop....

The taste of candy changes as does our recollection of how it tasted. With so many retro candies being discontinued, it is special that products like Astro Pops still exist. Despite all, we hope you enjoyed your lollipops!

Great customer service and prices
I tried a limited time release butterfinger french toast bar from a convenience store and went back next day and they were sold out. After many online retailers advertising the same bar for $10-$12 each I found candy favorites online and was able to get 3 boxes of these amazing bars shipped to my home on ice packs all for around $2 per bar.
I Keep them in the fridge. Grandkids have discovered they are there so I may be ordering again very soon!

Thank you for leaving a review for our Charms Sweet and Sour Pops. We're so glad to hear that you and your grand babies enjoy them together. We love it when a classic candy is shared across generations, or as we like to say, 'before retro candy was retro.' We hope your grandchildren enjoyed them as much as you did!
We're so glad to hear that it's a childhood favorite for you. 😍 We hope it continues to bring you joy and nostalgia, and we hope that the manufacturer keeps making these oh so iconic and delicious gumballs!
