About
As of 2026, it's 47 years old.
Ring Pop is candy that doubles as jewelry, which is exactly the kind of dual-purpose thinking a six-year-old respects. A giant hard-candy 'gem' on a plastic ring, it was reportedly invented to help a kid quit thumb-sucking and accidentally created the flashiest accessory on the playground.
Around since 1979, it lets you wear your snack, flex the oversized jewel, and then slowly, publicly lick it down to a sad nub over the course of an afternoon.
Sweet, fruity, and wearable, Ring Pop is the only candy you can propose with — and people have.
