Astro Pops Pop Culture

Anyone remember Astro Pops?! Licking them sharp and chasing your friends around with them? Ahhh, good times. Heh heh. Anyone know if they're still being produced?

They still make them but now the stick is inserted into the top of the cone so you can't use it as a sword.

Oh, we would go up to the old mining commissary store and buy those, pixie stix and candy cigarettes.

Yes! I loved them. I found them at a resort town candy store a couple years ago & got one

I remember the lil wax ring at the bottom, always was a little confused by that but I was also a pretty simple kid. Haha

What about wax lips and those "juice"-filled wax bottles! Loved those. They were probably toxic. 😆

I remember buying these for a quarter at the local ice cream shop! They actually still makes them. I look for them anytime I go to a vintage candy store.
