attention, walmart shoppers!
yes we know how evil it is and how superior some people are. blah blah blah, save it


Fun Pops, 36 to the red plastic net bag, those plastic tubes you freeze then squeeze to eat...freaking delicious flavors! I am sure they are 100% toxic waste flavored and colored HFC, but I'm telling you they are delicious! I have never had such good flavors in a water based frozen treat - these are as good at real fruit pops and almost as good as sorbet

try 'em see if I am wrong! the peach and green apple are my favorites, but they are ALL good! :9

1. Do they taste like kool-aid, fruit punch, something like that? Haven't had one in years.

2. way better than kool-aid
close to jolly rancher intense - and less than $2.50 a bag in Peach, Banana, Lemon-Lime, Grape, Cherry, Orange, Pina-Colada, Blue Punch, Green Apple, Strawberry, Watermelon, & Mango. although I haven't had a banana yet and we have bought more bags than I care to admit after we started sampling the bag my sons brought home one day. They are kind of addictive!

I don't remember freezer pops tasting this good - they WERE like kool-aid - watered down, even

4. Great way to cool off in the summer. I'll bet the Blue Punch tastes like blueberries. The fresh ones
Are cheap, big and juicy in the stores right now. I never had them off the bush until I moved up here, what a treat. Very pretty as they grow, too, all kinds of colors.

We just finished cherries in the stores and if I'm lucky I can get some good fresh apples. They smell just like flowers if they're fresh, I put them on the counter and the place smells wonderful.

I'll bet the mango pop is good, I just discovered them last year. Incredible flavor, but kind of a mess. Are you getting anything there, like melons or peaches? I bet they grow great there. We haven't had much success up here this year, not much sun, not enough heat.

6. usually blue food is raspberry flavored, but this is just punch
mangos take practice - google how to cut and serve - I'm not very good at it, but they are good mixed into a fruit salad. I kind of missed the cherries this year, not many grown in the area and haven't been shopping regularly enough to hit the sales. Did get a big box of blueberries and stuck them in the freezer. Husband likes his blueberry pancakes, and I like pie or a milkshake. yum. Peaches are starting here now, but we had a bad, hard frost this year so the crop is small. Just saw an add for the biggest u-pick farm in the area - they shipped in tons from California for their annual peach festival (WTF?)

3. I like these
I used to find them at a couple of stores but haven't seen them yet this summer. I looked on their store locater and found that Riteaid carries them now in this area.

5. What's good about non-dairy treats is it'll keep and it'll ship. Dairy perishes...

9. Funny you should mention them. They're the treat of choice for my
daughter's kids and she's the family food nazi.
