Denmark: The Astronaut Popsicle

Astronaut popsicle, Danish food

The Astronaut popsicle has been around in Denmark since 1958, and it is still going strong. It has a winegum astronaut at the to of the popsicle rocket, and and when I was a kid, it was one of my favorite popsicles. Back then, finding an Astronaut popsicle with two wine gum astronauts was about as rare as finding a four-leaf clover, so when it happened, it was celebrated to the applause and envy from the other kids.

The other day, I bought a pack of Astronaut popsicle for nostalgic reasons (and well, because I love popsicles for kids), and guess how surprised I was when I found not just one, but the entire batch of Astronauts with 2-3 wine gums! WTF?!? I am now wondering whether I just hit a lucky streak or whether this is the new Astronaut normal?

Welcome to my Denmark Blog. I was adopted from South Korea and grew up in a small village in Jutland. I have lived abroad for most of my adult life, but Denmark is still home. This is where I have my base, and where I return between trips. On the blog I write about Denmark as I experience it. The cities and the coastline, cafes and restaurants, walks in the forest or along the water, weekends away, and small breaks from everyday life. This blog is my take on Denmark. A mix of nostalgia and new discoveries from the country I call home.
