Freezies vs. Popsicles.
As I sit here infront of the computer eating my more than satisfying white jumbo freezie... I propose this question. On a hot summer's day, which is better? A jumbo freezie, or a popsicle??(the flavours of each are of personal taste, obviously). Now, some would jump the gun and bust out, "Freezie!!!" right away.. and I must say, I cannot concretely disagree--as my current consumption of the forementioned "freezie" attests to, I quite enjoy this fun flavoured ice treat. HOWEVER, if one is comparing this to a "run-of-the-mill, after-40-attempts-using-precise-physics-equations-to-break-the-damn-thing-in-half-against-the-corner-of-the-7-11-building-yet-it-still-breaks-the-wrong-f*ing-way" kind o popsicle, than yes, freezie wins hands down. BUUUUTTT, along comes god's gift to the children of the summer....weird popsicle guy on his ringing bike. And what does he have for us today boys and girls???? ROBOCOPS, FUDGCICLES, ICE CREAM SANDWICHES, TWISTIE MYSTERIOUS FLAVOURED POPSICLE-RESEMBLING FROZEN THINGS, CATCHERS MITS WITH BUBBLE GUM BASEBALL CENTRE THINGS....THAT ARE FROZEN AND PRETTY GOOD, AHHH, THE LIST GOES ON. Take any one of those and compare them to a freezie? Pfffff.... do I even need finish this sentence? The magic that comes out of that little icebox from heaven is priceless, and more than makes up for the weird smelling, sweaty pedophile-ish looking guy who takes your money and hands you that piece-o-heaven. Maybe in some further entry I will dig deeper into why a 36 yr old man needs to sell flavoured ice on a bike and why he is so unhappy with the world judging from the look on his face and the lack of enthusiasm in the way he rings his popsicle bells. But for now, let us breathe a sigh of relief as we have put to rest the ongoing arguement... which is better, the freezie or the popsicle.
side note : if any of my readers disagrees with ANY of the statements and/or conclusions I have made, I am dutifully willing to partake in a freezie/popsicle taste off (if the goods in question are provided of course) in order to create a better postulate for next time.

If I may chime in for a moment. I think the topic raised is one of great importance, and also one which has a great effect on our daily summer lives. I would agree, that compared to run of the mill Nestle popsicles, freezies, especially jumbo freezies, win. I am very partial to the Dickie Dee man on the white cart and the wonderful packages of love he delivers. I am quite partial to Rocketpops and Creamsicles, mmmmmmmmm.
I personally love the Dikie Dee Man's Strawberry Short Cake Popsicle. MMM and a tastre test sounds great!
