Astro Pop Review

Astro Pops were created in 1963 during the Cold War. Two rocket scientists left their jobs at Rocketdyne to start the business. Astro Pops were designed after three stage rockets, with the three flavors being pineapple passion fruit and cherry. The rocket scientists custom built their own machinery to produce the candy.

In 1987 the popular candy company Spangler Candy bought the brand, and continued to expand the variety of flavors until 2004 when they were discontinued.

I'm 2010, long time Astro Pop fan Ellia Kassof bought the rights to the candy and his company Leaf Brands currently produces the candy.

Design- 6/10

The pointed shape and bright colors are incredibly fun, but my issue is with the packaging. The plastic wrapped, since it's used as the mold for the candy, is difficult to peel off. The stick isn't straight and is very short, making it difficult to hold. On the bottom of the candy is a layer of paraffin wax, that you probably shouldn't eat.

Flavor- 6/10

The flavors are supposed to be pineapple passion fruit and cherry, but none of the flavors are distinct even from each other. However is still has a sweet and appealing flavor!
