They still make these, but now they are made upside down

I was so excited when I realized I could still get astro pops. I was devastated to find they had started making them upside down. From what I have been told they did this due to safety concerns. Apparently the sharp point could hurt you if you weren't careful. DUHH. We all still survived though. Anyone hear about an astro pop related death?

I love me some Astro Pops!!

This was my FAVORITE candy as a child, I got them only rarely due to the fact that they were only sold at the Toy-R-Us in the next town. I used to chew on the wax at the end of the pop.

They still make them, BUT they aren't the same old school red yellow green.

I am looking for stro pops for my 40th birthday party. where have you seen them? According to Spangler Candy some kid lacerated his throat with the tip so they sued the company and the company started making them upside down and unfortunately nobody wanted them anymore so they were d/c'd in 2006. If you can find them let me know and I will buy them from you. Thanks

I poked the roof of my mouth a couple of times but hey I'm still here. Make 'em the right way!

they have a place in Canada called sugar mountain...you can get alot of retro candy there! the first time i saw the astro pops upside down i nearly cried! i figured there was some dumb kid that ruined it for the rest of us! :(
