Please advise where they will be selling in El Paso, Texas. I love those pops -- I grew up with them!!!

Thank you so much for bringing back this piece of my childhood history.

When they are available - I am buying a case!!

I was actually searching for information online on how to make astro pops (or a reasonable substitute) so that I could may them at home for my kids - now we get the real thing!!

I wish you much success.

I love Astro pop and I live in Mexico but I don’t know buy in Mexico before I bought here please can you talk to me where I buy please please

Just spoke with you and wanted to know when they would be for sale just let me know. I love the ones that are red, white and blue!!!!

Comments : How will I be able to find out who sells the astro pops in my area? I really love them and can't wait for them to come back.

Comments : I'm excited to discover that you are bringing back Astro Pops! Is there any chance of buying a case before July 21st? My family always used to get them on summer camping trips (20 years ago) and now are going camping again this summer. I would love to get a box in time for the trip.

Here's hoping!

-Dan

Please tell me you will have an adult version....you know, where the pop is on the stick the right way!!! :)))

Comments : I am ecstatic that you are bringing Astro Pops back. I have had the word out to all my family and friends that if they see them anywhere....to buy all that they can for me. Will I be able to order from Canada onyour site? If not, how can I get some.... I sound like an addict. I am so happy and can't wait for the Fall.

I am extremely surprised and very much looking forward to the return of the Astro Pop. The last time I had one was when I was on vacation in Virginia. This was about 8-9 years ago and I wound up buying up every one they had. When this supply ran out, I was in disbelief when I found out through your website no more were to be made.

I got my first taste of an Astro Pop when I was a kid growing up in the 1960's. I even remember an Astro Pop having a creamy flavor which clouded the normally clear pop. Will this flavor come out too ?

Please notify me by email when they become available so I can order my first case !

Thank you for helping old memories come to life once more.

Sincerely,
Thomas R.

CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

I loved these as a kid and keep telling my kids and new wife about them. I am sooo excited! I tried the Spangler s version....didn't like them. I fell in love with them as the were originally.

Please let me know as soon as I can get some.

Excited again,
R. Shawn

Hi,

Melissa

Comments : My best girlfriend is getting married in September and would love to get her a case of these for her wedding... please let me know when they are available by email. These were such a big part of our childhood! Thank you for bringing them back!

Mr. Kassoff,

I was just daydreaming about AstroPops and typed it into Google. When I saw the press release in Business Wire I almost fell out of my chair! Thank you so much for bringing this product back to market. I can't hardly wait to taste my favorite candy ever again! I used to buy boxes of them from Spangler years ago and was devastated when they stopped making them. Hurry them up to Florida!

Gloria

Hi, I was just wondering if you could please send me an email letting me know when you are shipping out the AstroPops so I could be looking forward to getting them for my brother who has loved them since he was a child. I am looking forward to seeing them again on the candy shelves. Thank you so much.

Comments : please let me know when and where I can get the astro pops....ASAP. I will buy them buy the case. Can I ship directly to my home when astro pops are ready? thanks in advance for your help. I’m loving them!! Tina Daniels

Comments : Hi! I couldn't change the State selection above to a province--I am from Canada. I saw on your website that you are bringing Astro Pops back in fall 2010!!! I am so excited I feel like a little kid again--are you bringing them back to Canada too??? pleeeeeeeeze I love Astro Pops and I was so sad that they were discontinued. There is a retro candy shop here in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada called Sugar Mountain, and they carry all sorts of retro candies. Would you maybe ship to them? Please reply when you have a moment, I can't wait to have another Astro Pop. LOL Have a great day and thanks!

Marie

Comments : Please contact me when I can order or purchase in Chicagoland area. My son is having a space-themed birthday party in October (surely you'll be ready before Halloween season?)and I want to get these for the adults and kids....Please let me know. Thank you !!!!!

Comments : Is this True? I love Astro Pops. Will they be like the original with the pointy side up and wax bottom? Please let me know. I hope so because that was the best. Can I get email updates for the launch

I am a 46 year old electrician who lives in southern middle Tennessee. Since childhood, I have had a severe food allergy to eggs. As you can imagine, I cannot eat anything I want. I was absolutely heart broken when Astro Pops were taken off the shelves. I heard a rumor that a kid choked on one and the parent's lawsuit was the reason for discontinuation. It's a crying shame that common sense has been thrown out for monetary gain. Hopefully I'll be around another 46 years to once again enjoy what I have missed so much! Congratulations!

Sincerely,
Richard T.

My boss is a HUGE fan of these and mentioned so a month after I started so I have been searching to acquire these pops for him. He bet me I wouldn't be able to ever find them or get them and he has done so many kind things for me since I started here I simply HAVE to get these for him. When would they be available for the public. Where can I get them, would you be doing online sales? I'm VERY interested in their comeback.

I know from your press release off your website it says this fall. Can you tell me when & what stores? When i would go to my high school football games this was the treat I would get every time I went to the concession stand.

Comments : I was wonder when/where I would be able to buy the astro pops my husband turns 30 on October 18th 2010 and he loved them and I would love to buy some for his birthday. I was so mad when they stopped making them.

I have a question..... When are these going to be available to order? I have been looking for these for a LONG time. I have a friend who I have not seen in 15 years that will be coming down soon, and was hoping to surprise with some when I saw them. Thank you very much and I am so excited!!!

I have told my kids about the mysterious candy that was an Astro Pop. I remember before they flipped them upside down , they were like daggers! My father, who was divorced from my mom, would always stop at the gas station and get me a couple of astro pops and a soda for the ride home when he had me on weekends.

Do you plan on putting these back in stores? I can’t wait to have one again!

Thank you!
Chris

Comments : Just wanted to express how happy I am that these pops will once again be available. I grew up on Astro Pops and can't wait to send some to my husband currently serving in Afghanistan. It will be a nice jog down memory lane for him and a reminder of home.

My dad was a baseball coach when I was growing up and that was my favorite candy at the ballpark. That was the 1 thing I HAD to have every time I went. I have a son who is fixing to start playing his 3rd year and I always think of it every time we are out there. I'm so glad yall are doing this. I can not wait!!!

I am so excited and anxious for some Astro Pops!!!!! I am 50 years old and I grew up with Astro Pops. They were my favorite candy!!!!!! Everyone down here in New Orleans is happy and waiting.

My name is Lisa and I have been looking for astro pops for years.

They have always been my favorite candy. I was just wondering when will they be availble to buy and will you be able to get them in stores. You have no idea how excited I am that you have brought this candy back. Please let me know any info you may have.

Sincerely,
Lisa

Comments : Hi,

I live in Newfoundland Canada and I want to purchase some Astropops in time for Christmas. Do you have any to sell me and if so how much and send details. :) thanks.

Have an outer space birthday party coming up on 10/29, and it would not be complete without astro pops in the goodybag. Any chance we can get 36? Even be ok w test batches. Please let me know as soon as we can get some! Thank you! Carri

YEAH!!!!! Just wondering when these will be available and how much they are going to be?

I remember this candy as a child and ended up on your web page. I see that they are coming back in the Fall/Winter of 2010, however where is this coming out? What state?

I live in Texas and have been trying to find these. Is there a way to just purchase them online?

Thanks for your help.
Britni

Comments : Will you be using the original recipe? I have been waiting and wishing for this to happen for years!!!! Thank you for bringing it back!!!

Comments : Wow. I think I consumed 1000's of these pops. I could definitely be a Astro spokes person. Glad you are bringing them back. I never did understand the wax thing. always a pain to bite that off first before enjoying the pop. Not sure if that was for manufacturing purposes. Leave it out if you can. Let me know. I’ll buy a case.

Comments : I really need some Astro pops. I am seeing a girl, and her grandfather who raised her, and is her inspiration in life bought her Astro pops as a small child. It would make her birthday if I could supply her with Astro pops for her birth day on November 5th.

Just wanted to drop you a note to say thanks for bringing the Astro Pop back ... A few years ago I didn't know that the Astro pop had been discontinued but had been looking everywhere for them and I couldn't find them any where ... anyway that Christmas my youngest son got on the internet and tried his hardest to find anyone that may have had some as he wanted so bad to buy my a case of them for Christmas .... If they are out in time this year I will be sooo happy ... they by far were my favorite candy of all time.. Again thanks .. it is the little things these days that make life good :)

Comments : So very happy to see you are bringing back Astro Pops! They were my favorite candy when I was a kid and I was sad to find out they were no longer being made. Thank you for bringing them back!

Do you have a release date for this product yet? I need these for a school party I need 18 but can buy 2 dozen just need a price !!

Comments : nearly every day I check your website hoping to find them available for purchase. Anyway, I will continue to wait impatiently for the moment when I can once again enjoy my all time favorite candy. I recall as a child riding my bike 3 miles to the 7 eleven just to buy as many Astro Pops as my allowance afforded. Thanks for deciding to bring life back to Astro Pop. And, now that my allowance is somewhat larger, I plan to buy many more!!

Comments : I am so excited the astro pop is coming back! I am pregnant, and the only thing I want is an astro pop! I loved the lemonade confetti ones, THANK YOU FOR MAKING THESE AGAIN! I cannot wait to have one!!!

Comments : Please let me know how I can order some Astro Pop's. My husband is a HUGE fan of them & I'd love to be able to surprise him & get him some for Christmas. He's been so sad since they stopped making them. Thanks! Angie White Evansville, IN

Comments : Would love to find out where I can purchase some of these. My mom has been looking for them for years. They used to have them at our local dollar tree. I noticed that they were supposed to be back out in 2010. Where can I find them?

Hi there was trying to find out when I may be able to order some Astro pops for myself ? Can't wait for them to come out. Thank you for your time.

Comments : we are a retro candy shop specializing in nostalgic candy. please add us to your mailing list for product release date. we also want to carry the merchandising that will go along with the pops! thanks for bringing back a classic that we get asked about on a daily basis!

Comments : I’d like to get an astro pop for my boyfriend for Christmas. it was his favorite candy growing up and he thought they stopped making them.

is there any way that I could buy one of the trial one's? I’ll pay extra for it, sign a release, whatever I need to do. it would be the best present for my boyfriend. he would be sooo excited, and I love to see him light up when he smiles. if there is any way possible that I could get at least one by Christmas, I would love it. please help me out if you can. he's really great, and this would mean a lot to him.

Comments : When are the Astro pops coming out?? I am CRAVING them. Please let me know? Will they be available for Christmas 2010?? Thank you.... Gena

My wife grew up with these as a kid and she ALWAYS talks about them. I was wanting to order some and surprise her for Christmas! How might I be able to attain some? Thanks!

When will you start selling them? I was hoping to include these with Christmas goodies!

Jacqui

Comments : Any chance I could order some for my wife for Christmas 2010?

Hello I’m trying to find astropops for a Christmas gift, could you please let me know how or where I can get some?

Thank you,
Julia

So I read the new flavors and they all look good. I was a fan of the yellow... pineapple so suggestion for a flavor-Astro Tropical which would be pineapple, mango, and coconut! That would be so good!!! Plus it would rock to get a 500 boxes with my name on it. Thanks for bringing back the good ol days oh yeah!!!!

lol I search the internet all the time to see if these would be brought back they are my favorite I am so excited lol

As the concerned candy fanatic I am, I am volunteering myself to be a taste tester. I promise to give unbiased and honest opinions on the new Astro Pops in exchange for free candy. Yes....I am easy and cheap. *grin*

Maybe you should get in touch with the Houston Astros to see if they want you to make Houston Astro Astropops.

Yeah!!! I have been looking for them everywhere! I need a whole case!!!!

Yay! Can't wait for Astro Pop to be back on the shelves!

there better than chewy spree!

I craved Astro pops when I was pregnant with my son, I would love to be able to buy him some for his 13th birthday coming up soon!

OMG I was just in a candy store the other day and they didn't have any Astro Pops so I decided to do some research and then I find out that they are coming back! Made my day! I am so excited and I cannot wait to buy some :D

wish there was a "love" button...can't wait to have an astro pop!

Will those Astro Pops be the inverted ones? You know, the point toward your fingers? Or will they be like the ones in your picture? I will love 'em either way.

Have y'all thought about a liquid version for the original flavors? Just wondering since I LOVE the candy but can't ever seem to eat the hard version fast enough.

such another great favorite. Why did they ever stop making them. Can't wait for their comeback!!!

You're making the original, with paraffin plug, NOT inverted, original flavors?!? THANK GOD.

ok...I need help...my lil guy, he's 3...wants a rocket pop....I don’t know how he knows about these but he wants them......as a mom...I am in search of 10 or a case...I don’t care....really do not want to wait till fall....any ideas where i can get some??

Let me know when they go on sale!!!!! I so want to buy a case.

I'm so excited! My friends and I were just fbing about how much we missed these. And, most importantly, the memories of them with the stick in the "right" spot -- under the widest section. We can't wait!!!

I am and always have been a huge fan. Since the early space race with the USSR when they were new and I was a little kid, they have been a fond memory. Thanks for resurrecting a great treat.

I really hope somewhere local carries these I want to get some for my boss who is obsessed with them but I don't think I'd know what to do with an entire case. Hello Sweetie! It is me Sallie your number 1 diehard fan of Astro Pops!!! lol I have written you a few letters like you had asked me to do an I have not been able to get through to you! I think something is wrong with your email! but aside from that hope all is well with you and everyone at Atro Pops!!! I cannot wait... till they come out! Have they come out yet? An if they have where can I buy a crate of them??? I told everyone I know all I want for Christmas is a crate each from everyone of Astro Pops!! lol

Get back to me on here an fill me in on all you have done since we last talked on the phone ok!! I will give you another call next week ok Sweetie!!!

hugs and kisses to you and your team at Astro Pops!!!

Your Friend & Number 1 Die Hard Fan,
SallieAn

I'm trying to find out how to order them my fave candy as a kid and miss them immensely would love to know how to order...also have an Autistic son who would love them may be calming a mom's best friend.

It would be FANTASTIC, if you would just bring them back NOW, please! You've been talking and talking and the webpage is the same. I'd like to eat one right now please! Lets speed it up porfavor.

Keep working!!!! Fans are awaiting. Try to have by Christmas, they will make great stocking stuffers. Be sure to have it perfect before you sell the first one. With monies tight and this economy, people will not buy again if they don't experience the real deal the first time. Good Luck!!!! :-

When my brother and I were kids we would camp with my grandparents, who raised us. We spent most of our time at the beach and on the water slide at Groveland Oaks in Michigan. My grandpa would always give us a couple dollars to buy treats a...t the boat house and I always bought myself an astro pop. Now every time I see them in pictures it brings me back to the smell of camp fire, fresh trees and the lake we swam in. I can't tell you how much this candy means to me during the most important years of my life. And now how much fun it would be to get my hands on one. Can't wait till they are available again, I will definitely buy a couple boxes to keep around. Yay for Astro Pops. #1 Fan!

We used to buy ours at the "Carriage Trade", a small convenience store in Los Alamitos, California. I used to love sinking my teeth into them and then pulling real hard to leave my teeth marks!!! Was lots of fun until my retainer broke:)

Every time my Mom went to Marshalls there was a candy stand outside & I knew if I was patient My Mom would buy me an Astro Pop

I am so qualified to be a tester...I remember EXACTLY what they smell, look, taste, and feel like...I also know how it feels to have one stuck in your hair when you fall asleep with an Astro Pop...I know how to get the point extra sharp...OMG CAN"T WAIT!!!

Makes my mouth water just thinking about them. Aaahhh. That sweet taste that lasts and lasts. I agree - the texture needs to be the same. That's part of what made them so good! Can't wait for my daughter to taste the bestest candy ever!!

HURRY I love my Astro POP! Can you PLEASE make the pointy part up again? I quit buying them when they were flipped upside down, just wasn't the same...

hoping hoping hoping to hear something soon my mouth waters just thinking about these they are sooo my favorite!!!

Actually, I like to break them into pieces and use them as small hard candy. Do you have any scraps. I will buy the large one but will end up breaking it with a hammer or something.

lol y'all need to get it in gear already I had a dream about a astro pop last night I woke up wanting one so bad, hurry hurry hurry lol!
