March 4, 2011: Rocket Poppeteers Legacy Opens

The Rocket Poppeteers Legacy section of the site is now available. Each Section of the legacy is accompanied by a drawing. Details to follow:

The Home Page of the Rocket Poppeteers Legacy Displays that Rocket Poppeteers are distributed from Minot North Dakota. The Same City was associated with the PO Box found earlier.


Page 1 of the Rocket Poppeteers Legacy

The magic of Rocket Poppeteers began in Minot, ND on one chilly Tuesday in 1958 with the husband and wife team of Ralph and Ruby Frostsky. Ralph, an ex-Air Force pilot, and Ruby, a confectioner originally from Cooper Landing, Alaska, wanted to give back to their hard-working loyal community. Using Ruby's confectionery skills, Ralph decided to give the children of Minot something so delicious they would feel like they were "flying to the moon!" That spring, the Frostskys distributed homemade ice pops out of their garage to local area patriots. Their flavor-filled delights were an instant sensation and, in early 1959, the Frostskys decided to expand.

The Frostskys migrated their business to a local Minot factory, producing more ice pop varieties and the prototype for their now-classic Rocket Poppeteers ice pops. With the birth of their song, Donald, the Frostskys were inspired to take the brand to new heights. The introduction of Captain "Coop" Cooper and his battle against Red Cozmo helped launch Rocket Poppeteers' sales into the stratosphere. The Frostskys had finally realized their American dream. Rocket Poppeteers' sales continued to skyrocket over the next two decades, as Ralph supplied his heroic Air Force friends with the frozen treats necessary to win a Cold War, and as Ruby and Donald restructured production to maximize efficiency, fun and deliciousness.

Did you know that Donald Frostsky's favorite flavor is Cherry Brain Blast? What's your favorite flavor? Obviously Brain Blast Fleet is the best!

Page 4 of the Rocket Poppeteers Legacy

In the spring of 1980, after an unfortunate incident at the factory, the Frostskys decided to close the doors of Rocket Poppeteers and focus on raising their family. The factories were all shuttered, machines intact, and the business quietly slipped from the public eye. However, observant children knew that the threat of Red Cozmo was far from over and Captain "Coop" Cooper may need them again one day.

Page 5 of the Rocket Poppeteers Legacy

If the Frostky's Minot factory can make 11,400 Rocket Poppeteers ice pops per hour, how many ice pops can they make per minute? Per day? Per year?

Answers: Credit Slusho Addict @ Unfiction.com

Per Minute- 190

Per Day- 273,600

Per Year- 99,864,000

Page 6 of the Rocket Poppeteers Legacy

In 2010, Rocket Poppeteers welcomed a highly unexpected resurgence of interest from loyal cadets far and wide and reactivated its factories with a mission to inspire a new generation of children. Introducing a brand new patriotic flavor to its beloved Super Speedflier Fleet, Rocket Poppeteers quickly assumed its former glory as a champion in the in the industry. Today, Rocket Poppeteers has factories in six states, all over 200 mobile trucks operating around the country. Rocket Poppeteers is proud to remain a mom and "pop" owned and operated business to this day, currently under the caring and watchful eye of Donald Frostsky.
