Not important, but I found it interesting, and my wife loves them.

Frank Epperson invented the popsicle in 1905 after he left a spoon in a glass of juice outside overnight and it froze. It was originally called the Epsicle, but when Frank had children, they were always asking their 'pop' for an Epsicle. The name "Popsicle" stuck.

I like your rankings but Cherry is way to high and lime shouldnt even be in there. Should look something like this

1. Grape
2. Strawberry
3. Orange (but not baby asprin orange flavor)

My wife likes the solid white ones. I think they are pineapple, but they might be coconut, Im not sure. Never asked.
They all hurt my teeth. It even hurts my teeth to watch someone take a bite of one.

You might be right. But hey, I'm outside in the heat cooking briskets right now. Popsicles sound pretty good right now. Cold beer wouldn't be bad either.

Those are good plus you can get about 100 of them for $3.00...:D

I like chocolate and banana fudgsicles too. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find the banana ones though.

:) :clap: Well I always thought of popsicles as fruit colored and water based. What your talking about is what us farm boys called fudge-sicles. ;) all in a name I guess.
