nI am not sure I’ve ever had a Bomb Pop – but apparently these red-white-and-blue popsicles have been really popular ever since they were invented in 1955, when I was just a baby.

n
nThe rocket shape?
n
nThe multiple flavors?
n
nThe patriotic colors?
n
nThe fact that your tongue might not just get colored by eating the popsicle, but it might get multi-color colored?
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nThe fact that you might, on a hot summer day, get multi-color drips down your arm?

Bomb Pops are SO popular, two other companies make pretty much identical looking popsicles – red-white-and-blue rocket-shaped popsicles – and are selling them under different names (Rocket Pop and Firecracker).
