The candies that connect us!

Bazooka Candy Brands manufactures and markets the popular confectionery brands Ring Pop®, Push Pop®, Baby Bottle Pop®, Juicy Drop® and the iconic Bazooka® Bubble Gum. Originally founded as a family-owned business, Topps Chewing Gum, in 1938, Bazooka Candy Brands spent its early years producing a popular penny gum at a factory in Brooklyn, NY.  After World War II, the company developed Bazooka Bubble Gum and Bazooka Joe.

Thirty years later, Bazooka Candy Brands launched its very first wearable lollipop, Ring Pop, before adding its other iconic lollipop brands to the portfolio and expanding into gummy and chewy candy.  In October 2023, funds advised by Apax Partners LLP acquired Bazooka Candy Brands. With an ever-growing portfolio of interactive products, Bazooka Candy Brands continues to deliver Edible Entertainment to a whole new generation.
