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 high-speed cone wrapping velocity.
The cone wrapper these scientists created was the mold for the popular Astro Pops that 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 bought the rights to the candy since Astro Pops was one of the CEO’s favorites. As a result, Astro Pops are now available for you to enjoy in many new flavors or stick to the classic!

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!

I ordered sugarless Bubbleyum because it was advertised that you sell it ... What was delivered to me was NOT sugarless Bubbleyum but was ORIGINAL BUBBLEYUM that I did NOT order ... I ordered SUGARLESS BUBBLEYUM and NOT original Bubbleyum for a reason. I was/am very disappointed. I sent email to customer service and got no response. Thank you anyway.
Hi Rebecca, we're sorry you didn't reach out to us with this issue before leaving a review. If you had, we'd have been able to explain to you that we do not carry sugarless Bubble Yum. And have not done for some many years. In fact, when looking at your order, it appears that you did order the Original Bubble Yum; a confirmation email with this information for your records at the time of your purchase on October 29th.
Couldn’t find these gems in any local store to me so I ordered 5 pounds they were fresh, taste was perfect and they arrived a day early!!!
We're thrilled to hear that you loved our Halloween Orange and Black Spice Drops and that you were able to find them with us! We are so grateful that you choose us to deliver your favorite sweet treat. Thank you for choosing CandyFavorites.com!
Definitely not red hots. Couldn’t taste any cinnamon. The candy was hard and sweet
Sadly, like so many beloved and classic candies, Red hots were discontinued many moons ago. The Cinnamon Imperials are the closest to them but, alas, they are not the classic candy. Thanks for your understanding!
