The rocket has been in production for decades and the layered colours are the design rather than a coincidence. Moulding three sections into one lolly takes more work than a single pour, which is a fair part of why the shape has stayed distinctive for as long as it has. Each layer carries a different sugar load, which is set during moulding rather than left to chance. The pack calls them juicy and fruity. As a water ice there's no dairy to round off the acidity, so they finish cleaner than a milk lolly would. A rocket is recognisable in silhouette in a way a flat lolly never is, and the shape has outlived most of the novelty lollies it once shared a freezer with.
