Your Favorite Popsicle Flavour?

Your favorite popsicle flavour?

 

I used to like grape the best, but now i'm into orange. Cherry is the worst. Lime is great too cuz its so rare. I have a feeling grape will clean up.

In 1905, Frank Epperson, then only 11 years old, left a stir stick in a mixture of powdered flavored soda and water out on the porch. That night, temperatures in San Francisco reached a record low. When Epperson woke the next morning, he discovered the drink had frozen to the stir stick, creating a fruit flavored 'icicle,' a treat he had named the Epsicle. Eighteen years later, in 1923, Epperson introduced the Epsicle to the public for the first time at an Alameda, California amusement park, Neptune Beach. In 1924, Epperson applied for a patent for his "frozen confectionery" called the Epsicle ice pop. He renamed it the Popsicle, allegedly at the insistence of his children. It was originally available in seven flavors and marketed as a "frozen drink on a stick." In 1925, Epperson sold the rights to the Popsicle to the Joe Lowe Company of New York. Good Humor, a subsidiary of Unilever, bought the rights in 1989.

Thank you Mr. Wikipedia...

 

Anyway I believe lime is less rare in the United States, but I could be wrong.

 

Cherry for the win!

[sodamntired]

yes. I live in Winnipeg now, I was going to post a long thing about how things are so much better living in Canada (again) but I won't.

That deals with this topic how? ;)

[Lauren]

please try to come close to staying on topic. this is about popsicles, not you moving to a different country to take advantage of all its amazingness.

 

i vote cherry. i hate the orange and grape ones. well, hate is a bit strong but i'd just as soon not have an orange or grape one at all, unless it was really hot out.

[Audio of Being]

The grape ones taste and remind me of nasty cough syrup.

 

Orange ones are far to sweet for my tastes.

[Computer]

Orange, Blue, Red, and White are the best ones, all the others drown in mediocrity.

Root beer owns, but I'll settle for orange here.

You are so right on that one.

[Lauren]

anything root beer flavoured that isn't root beer is gross. except those gummies. my fav popsicles are 1) banana 2) peach 3) white and red tie 4) blue. the rest can die.

There was a limited edition watermelon flavor once, outstanding, and sadly it has been 10+ years since I had one. ;)

Whaaaat? C'mon. Sodalicious root beer candies were THE BEST.

 

My favourite popsicle flavour is blue rasberry. I love firecrackers.

[Ravenous megin-sane]

banana is the best.

[RicardoObviouso]

are we talking actual popsicles here, or the knock off ones? I remember years ago having a TON of choice for flavors and now there's the three listed in the pole. I usually buy the 12 pack, and even though I used to LOVE orange, I think pink is my #1. if you buy the knock off brands, sometimes there's alternate flavors, but I prefer the taste and texture of the 'popsicle pete' ones.

 

my gf calls me a popsicle afficionado

[Muran]

What are the "knock off" brands?

 

what flavour's pink?

 

haha that's cute, "popsicle afficionado".

 

The other day, I bought a firecracker from the ice cream man, thinking it was the popsicle brand ones, and it wasn't, and it was all extra sour and the texture was nasty.

[Audio of Being]

In the US the knock off brand is Hershey's (not related to the candy maker Hershey's)

Oh elementary school, how I miss thee. Those things were a-mazing, anyone know if they still sell/make them?

[Ravenous megin-sane]

fuck yeah they do, AND they're vegan

Try Bulk Barn if you have one of those stores.

[johnny]

Bulk Barn has them? Oh shit, that is not a good thing.

[Audio of Being]

Bulk Barn has them? Oh shit, that is not a good thing.

Last I time I was there they did.

 

Remember I am from the US, and hardly visit Bulk Barn, maybe 3-4 times a year tops.

[johnny]

Ah right. I'll just pretend I didn't hear that and maybe I'll forget to look the next time I'm in... coincidentally about 3-4 times a year as well.
