Flying saucers are small spheroidal capsules of sherbet-filled rice paper.{{cn|date=November 2017}} The first flying saucers were produced in the early 1950s when an Antwerp based producer of communion wafers, Belgica, faced a decline in demand for their product, an account confirmed by Astra, the company which now owns the Belgica brand. Flying saucers are officially registered as a traditional product of Flanders.[1]They remain a popular sweet in Belgium and the United Kingdom, with a 2004 survey naming them as the most popular sweet of all time,{{cn|date=November 2017}} while a 2009 survey ranked them as the 12th most popular sweet in the United Kingdom.[2] References1. ^Traditional products of Flanders (in Flemish) 2. ^{{cite news |title=Humbugs, mints, gums and our Top 20 sweets |author= Alex Renton |url= http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/food_and_drink/real_food/article6827812.ece |newspaper= The Times |date= 10 September 2009 |accessdate=25 January 2011 |location=London }}
