Astro Pops

Astro Pops were first made in 1963 after two ‘Rocket Scientists’ working on the space program in El Segundo, Ca decided to quit their jobs and create the Astro Pop®, modeling the pop after a three-stage rocket. Being actual ‘Rocket Scientists’ they built special equipment to make the cone-wrappers at high-speed along with other equipment made by hand.  Astro Pops® were very unusual to manufacture because the cone-wrapper became the mold for the candy.  Hot candy was poured directly into the wrapper, then a paper stick was added and capped off with a layer of wax.

They weigh in at 1.5 ounces and are over 5 inches tall. This is a Special Edition candy which is 50% larger and lasts longer than the original 1 oz pop.  It features cherry, passion fruit and pineapple flavors.

Astro Pops are sold in quantities of 6.  When ordering, a quantity of 1 will get you 6 Astro Pops.
