It’s officially summertime! And two main events to celebrate the red, white and blue take place this weekend: the 4th of July and National Bomb Pop Day on Thursday, June 30!
Kickoff your 4th of July weekend on Thursday by celebrating National Bomb Pop Day with Blue Bunny. Be sure to keep the red, white and blue treat on hand throughout the 4th of July weekend.
The Bomb Pop has roots in true Americana as a summertime treat to celebrate the red, white and blue in conjunction with 4th of July celebrations and the setting off of fireworks.
The six-finned refreshing treat’s design mimics that of a firework. This is also why the Original Bomb Pop is red, white and blue.
Blue Bunny’s Original Bomb Pop refreshes your taste buds with the red, white and blue-hued flavors of cherry, lime and blue raspberry. The Bomb Pop flavor varieties don’t stop there.
The Fruit Burst Bomb Pop features tasty watermelon, lemon and green apple while the Sour Power Bomb Pop combines the delicious blend of orange, watermelon and green apple together with an extra dose of “pucker up.”
And if lemonade is what you get a hankering for in the summer, pick up a box of the red, yellow and white Lemonade Bomb Pops which stack up the flavors of pink lemonade, raspberry lemonade and regular lemonade for a sweet treat.
