slo’s FRIDAY 8/26 poll - Popsicles

[slo]

Do you buy Popsicles for yourself?
If yes, how often?
(multiple choice)



For Me……I do not buy popsicles for just myself (I did a long time ago).
I have bought them for DD19 - maybe once or twice a year.
I do like popsicles, but not enough to buy them just for me.

*Inspiration for today’s poll is me cleaning out our chest freezer and finding old popsicles I bought DD19 years ago - they went straight in the garbage.

 

[Kitty 34]

Never was into popsicles. Now fudgesicles....that's a different story!

 

[Schneewittchen37]

Love them. Buy them all year for the whole family. I try to make it less bad and get the ones with real fruit. We always fight over the coconut ones.

 

[PollyannaMom]

I do buy popsicles - sometimes for me (I like Outshine fruit bars) often in the summer for DS (SwirlStix are his fav) and occasionally for DH (Yasso bars - more ice cream bar than popsicle, I guess, but still a frozen treat on a stick).

 

[nw6675]

I always liked the super cheap double stick ones. Especially banana.

Well, not as cheap as the long plastic ones that come a gazillion in a box for $2 or something

 

[RUDisney]

I don't buy popsicles in the traditional, fruity sense.

However, Dove bars and Magnum bars... OMG! How I love them. I buy them and hide them outside of their box in the freezer in the hope that my kids won't find them before I get to enjoy them, although I do share the non-dairy ones with my DD since she is lactose intolerant.

 

[mamamary]

I haven’t bought them since my kids were young.

 

[fly girl]

I buy popsicles on the regular, all year around. My dd and dh love them. When I can find them at Costco, Melona is their absolute favorite. But when I can't, Outshine peach and pineapple are the winners.

I used to love Otter Pops as a kid. Their flavor was very concentrated, I tried them a few years ago and they are not the same ... much like Pudding Pops.

 

[unrequited23]

We usually have popsicles in the freezer all summer long. The kids love them and it's a nice cool treat after doing yardwork. I keep pedialyte popsicles in there too in case the kids get sick and are grumpy about staying hydrated.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Used to buy for kids - never ate them since I was a kid - I’m a fudge person !!!

My 62 year old husband is addicted to Coconut Outshine bars. I like ice cream sandwiches and Dreamsicles.

My favorites were also the double stick ones, but in blue raspberry and root beer flavors

 

[lynxstch]

I buy them all the time. They are my go to after being outside doing yard work, and my go to after I have been cleaning in the house. The outshine ones are good, but one of my favorites are still the bomb pops. I still like the 'popsicle' brand ones, but they just don't have the same intense flavor that they used to have.

 

[ronandannette]

I LOVE them - they’re definitely my cool-down treat of choice. I buy them just for me; the rest of the household prefers ice cream bars. We only ever have either during the hottest part of summer. Popsicle season is winding up around here.

 

[porschegrl]

I cannot remember the last time I bought popsicles. Probably decades ago. I do make them occasionally, though. This summer I've made fudge pops and blueberry yogurt pops.

 

[Meriweather]

I buy them very rarely and never for me.
Those rare ones would be for the grandkids, but they prefer ice cream novelties

 

[DisneyHardin]

I like Bomb Pops and will usually buy a box or two each summer.

We found skittle ones , taste much better. We keep them in freezer all year long. Not only for a treat, but great for sore throat, or when you need a kid to drink but not too much, or as a ice pack for a boo boo like a swollen lip or someone biting tongue/cheek while eating.

Anyone remember buying the twin pops and trying to smack them just right to split them to share? Slammed them against the edge of the step while still wrapped. No one would have gone into the house to try to use a knife to cut them....

 

[Dan Murphy]

We have not had here for a long time. used to have when the kids were home and when the grandkids were here most every day. We had those plastic tube things also.

I used have them a lot when I was a kid. If I did not have 10¢ for a popsicle, I could get a Fudgesicle for 7¢.

 

[Dan Murphy]

Popsicle season is winding up around here.

So no leisurely strolls outside with a nice cold popsicle in January?
