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....
