History[edit]

The Bomb Pop was invented by James S. Merritt and D.S. Abernethy in Kansas City Missouri on July 30, 1955.[2] In 1971 Bomb Pop was trademarked.[3] When D.S Abernethy's company Merritt Foods closed down in 1991, Wells' Dairy bought the business, including Bomb Pops.[4]

In 1999, Stephen Labaton of The New York Times used bombpop.com as an example of why there needs to be new rules to protect children's privacy. Any child who wanted to win a Nintendo Game Boy had to fill out their personal information, including their address.[5]

In 2003, The Walt Disney Company made a deal with Wells' Dairy to release Buzz Lightyear Bomb Pops.[6]

Several competitors sell similar looking popsicles, with some litigation by a competitor in 2014, which was eventually dismissed.[7][8]

Blue Bunny celebrated Bomb Pops' 50th anniversary in 2005 by starting a sweepstakes. The sweepstakes included giving a trip to Disneyland to two winners and giving 50 winners a Game Boy Advance. The 50th anniversary was also the start of National Bomb Pop Day which is celebrated on the last Thursday in June.[9]

Why is it called a Bomb Pop?

It seems almost poetic that amidst the threat of nuclear warfare, Abernethy and Merritt came up with a frozen treat to cool down temperaments all over the nation. The pop was shaped like a bomb with six fins, hence the name Bomb Pop, and its color scheme reflected the patriotic zeitgeist of America during the Cold War.
