What Is The Origin Of Ring Pop Candy?
Ring Pop Candy is a product from the company Topps. It was created in 1975 as a last-ditch attempt by the company’s founder to stop his daughter’s thumb-sucking habit. Today, these sweets are popular among children across the country.
Why wouldn’t they be? They’re colorful fruit-flavored candy jewelry. Kids can wear them as they move from one room to another, in the car, on trips, etc., and easily lick them whenever they want.
What Does The Candy Look Like?
In addition to the colors, ring pop candy is famous for its design. You get a plastic ring with a large hard candy ‘jewel.’ The diamond shape attracts children who adore the blend of childish sweets and adult accessories.
The candy is ‘hard’ which essentially means you can’t bite it. Doing so would crack the ring in two and waste it. So kids can enjoy licking it.

When Ring Pop Candy initially came out, it was only available in two flavors: Grape and Cherry. Over time, Topps expanded and added more sweet fruity options that included:

In the 1980s, the collection was broadened to include Ring Pop Sours in the flavors:
