National Bomb Pop Day is observed on the last Thursday of every June. In 2023, it will be celebrated on June 29. Bomb pops are frozen delicacies originally made in rocket shapes with red, blue, and white colors, and Wells Enterprise currently manufactures them. These frozen pops are best enjoyed during summertime. Original flavors of Bomb Pop include Cherry, Lime, and Blue Raspberry. But now there are more than ten flavors added to it, like, WARHEADS, Hawaiian Punch, Watermelon, Jolly Rancher, Original Sugar-Free, Banana Fudge, and Tongue Splashers. You can easily buy a bomb pop from a grocery shop that is available nearby. People of all ages have enjoyed this dish since 1955. National Bomb Pop Day honors and celebrates bomb pop.
“I like freedom. I wake up in the morning and say, ‘I don’t know, should I have a popsicle or a donut?’ You know, who knows?” -Oscar Nunez
History of National Bomb Pop Day
National Bomb Pop Day was founded in 2005 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Original Bomb Pop. Bomb pop is also known as red, white, and blue Popsicle. It was invented on July 30, 1955, in Kansas City, Missouri, by James S. Merritt and D.S. Abernethy. In 2003, a deal was made between Walt Disney Company and Wells’ Dairy to release Buzz Lightyear Bomb Pops. Blue Bunny celebrated its 50th anniversary by starting sweepstakes where two winners were taken for a trip to Disneyland, and the other 50 winners were given a Game Boy Advance.
