Creepy ad or not, not much is better on a hot day than popsicles and push-pops. Image from popsicle.com.

It’s another hot August day, and I, of course, felt the need to buy orange push-pops today.

I yabba dabba do remember Fred Flintstone on my pops!

When I was growing up, nothing made me happier on a day like today than an orange push-pop or a banana popsicle.

I keep popsicles (not banana at the moment, though) in the freezer for just such days, but sometimes you just have to have that orange sherbert (with or without vanilla swirls). Yum! And easy on the stomach too; bonus!

I’m salivating already …

Every once in a while, I’ll make my own pops, but I tend to stick to pretty simple ones (sometimes just orange juice!). Sure, there are “adult” push-pop and popsicle recipes out there, but since I don’t drink (and sometimes simple’s just better), I’ll stick with orange and banana, and raspberry when I feel like it.

Though I think I really wanna try making these.

And now I want banana puddin’.
