About Bazooka Candy Brands
Bazooka Candy Brands is one of America's most iconic confectionery companies, creating fun, innovative sweets for over 80 years. Originally founded as Topps Chewing Gum in 1938 as a family-owned Brooklyn business, the company launched its namesake Bazooka bubble gum in 1947 - complete with the famous Bazooka Joe comic strips that became a beloved American tradition. Today, under ownership by Apax Partners since 2023, the company continues to delight candy lovers worldwide. The Bazooka portfolio includes some of the most recognisable candy brands in the world. Ring Pop, launched in 1977, revolutionised the confectionery market as the first wearable lollipop and remains the company's biggest seller. Push Pop added another interactive element to candy enjoyment, while Baby Bottle Pop and Juicy Drop brought novelty and fun to new generations. These innovative products transformed Bazooka from a bubble gum company into a diverse confectionery powerhouse. The original Bazooka bubble gum carries special nostalgia for generations who grew up collecting the distinctive red, white, and blue wrappers featuring Bazooka Joe comics - over 1,535 different designs were created. Named after the rocket-propelled weapon from World War II, Bazooka bubble gum became an American cultural icon. The company's connection to baseball cards through Topps added another layer to its place in American popular culture. UK sweet lovers can find Bazooka Candy Brands products at supermarkets, newsagents, and sweet shops across the country. From Ring Pop for parties to classic Bazooka bubble gum, these American imports bring fun and nostalgia to the UK confectionery aisle.
