Candy memory

I had seen this glass turkey at Joann's about a month ago and it reminded me of a candy I had as a child. My memory was quite fuzzy and I couldn't pinpoint exactly what candy I was thinking of. Well, Jessie saw it and immediately knew the candy. She described it to me and then I remembered what it looked like. Neither of us could remember the name of it, but after much googling Jessie found what we were looking for. Does it remind you of anything?


It turns out we were thinking of the astro-pop (a name neither of us recalled). Here is a picture of it:
These are no longer manufactured and when Jessie and I found this picture we were a little confused because we remembered the pop as being shaped like a closed umbrella (you would suck on the pointy end). After further research we found out that it was originally how we remembered it but they flipped it at some point. I don't think I had this pop more than once or twice, and don't remember particularly even liking it, but for some reason it stuck in the recesses of my mind. Anyway, I guess this is a bizarre post but maybe someone else shares this childhood memory.
