Your Source For Popsicle Reviews, News, and Previews.

At some point, I started buying popsicles as a cost-effective but probably still bad for me alternative to buying a ton of candy. They were cheaper! I couldn’t just buy them and eat them immediately to keep me from going too overboard! They were tasty! Something like that! My go-to were Lemonade Bomb Pops, which were kind of expensive, but fuck, were they good. Sour and citrus and just… mm. Perfect.

However, recently, I spotted a new box at the grocery store. They were Warheads Freezer Pops. You know, the kind in the little tube where you cut off the end with a pair of scissors? Those sorts of things. They were really cheap, too, like a dollar for a box, so I bought some. I had no idea what to expect, though. The idea of what the box advertised as an “extreme sour” popsicle sounded like a dangerous proposition. Surely it wouldn’t actually be extreme sour? I mean, Warheads the candy are quite sour, but only for a few moments, and then they mellow out quite nicely. I’ve certainly had things more sour than a Warhead, but in popsicle form? Hm.

I’m happy to report, though, that they are completely tasty. They have a constant sour to them, but not overwhelming like the first moment of a Warhead the candy. It’s not subtle, constantly there, accenting the flavor of the popsicle in question. The flavors in the pack are pretty good, too. I’m not a huge fan of the Watermelon, which is probably my least favorite. Even that, though, I totally enjoy. The Blue Raspberry, especially is fantastic, but this is not surprising as I tend to enjoy anything flavored Blue Raspberry. It’s a good mix, and good stuff!

I’m thinking of attempting a switch over to them, if they keep being stocked. They are much cheaper than those Bomb Pops, especially if I eat them at the same too-fast rate as the Bomb Pops, which so far as proven true. It’d be a nice money-save! And having to freeze them might help keep me from eating too many of them.

Stay tuned for more popsicle-related rants and ramblings! (Okay, probably not really. Unless I really do keep trying new popsicles. But even then! Probably not.)
