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 Snaps by the POUND!!!
I saw I could order Snaps after a lifetime drought. I order 6#,s, and ate em all. I saw a problem forming so I ordered 9# of Snaps in 12 oz packs. Still . I wanted sealed Snaps for the long haul. So I ordered another 6# bag … and ate it. The pandemic hits and I salivate over my sealed 12 oz bags. Then I ate em. A year later I found Snpas online. The were not cheap. I bought 4 12 oz bags. Opened the last one yesterday.

Perfect amount!!
With decent weather on Halloween, wanted to make sure I had plenty of candy to give away. Delivery was on time and kept me out of the stores buying old candy that had been on the shelves since Labor Day.
Not a bad replacement for my favorite unavailable blue mints.
Like the blue mints, these candies don't leave that coating in your mouth that the white and red mints do. I'm happy to find them, but hoping the blue mints return!

The first item we ever sold on our webiste was Brach's Ice Blue Mint Coolers and it was probably the best selling item of all time! Sadly, like so many Brachs items, it was discontinued and will probably never return. We have tried hard to find a substitute and while not the 'original', the blue mints are tasty! We really appreciate your review and, of course, for you choosing CandyFavorites for your candy needs!
Just like I remembered. Great for use of decorating cakes and using in cookies and other items. Thank you. I will always use your store for items I can't find anywhere else.
Thank you for considering us and we are glad the Cinnamon Imperials are to your liking! We agree that they are great when used for cake decoration and for general snacking too!
banana flavor is very weak also they are irritatating to my throat
