The Original Bomb Pop is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year in the US with a special promotion that harkens back to a simpler era in a low-cost way. The brand will be selling 12-pack boxes of the ice lollies for $0.05 starting June 26 through July 30, 2025 which is expected to come as welcome news to avid fans and newcomers alike. This promotion is meant to revive the price of the treat back when it was originally launched in 1955, which is a far cry from the current price point of $3.50 that shoppers can observe at retailers like Walmart and Target.
The Original Bomb Pop promotion will see 70 lucky fans able to take advantage of the discount each day for the length of the campaign.
