NATIONAL BOMB POP DAY

The last Thursday in June is reserved for enjoying a summertime favorite on National Bomb Pop Day. Its rocket shape and vivid colors remind us of fireworks preparing you for the excitement of the upcoming 4th of July holiday.

Patriotic and frozen into the shape of a star ready to rocket across the sky, the Bomb Pop came to fruition during the Cold War. Invented in 1955 in Kansas City, Missouri, Bomb Pops are also known as the red, white, and blue frozen treat. Not only are they perfect for cooling off on a hot summer's day, but Bomb Pops also satisfy a sweet tooth, too.

Did You Know? Bomb pops were created during a time when the U.S. and Soviet Union were at the outset of the Cold War.
