Popsicles are not normally world shaking news, but when it gets up into the upper 90’s on the thermometer in Tacoma, Washington it is a matter of life and death. Well, for me it is…

Fred Meyer has a special on bags of popsicles for $.88 each. Walgreens has those ice pop thingy’s that you have to freeze before you eat them, but they’re pretty cheap. A box of 24 for $2.00. There’s a couple of recession busting cool treats for you. If you’re looking for a good old fashioned ice cream headache, just go to 7-11 and get a Slurpee. But don’t go to the one on the corner of Cirque Drive and Bridgeport Way in University Place. The Slurpee station there is VERY messy; spills all over the place. The dude at the front counter needs to learn how to use paper towels.

But I’m really.. I mean really, ticked off at the lack of root beer popsicles available in the stores these days. I haven’t checked out Albertson’s or Safeway, because I get irritated in those stores and end up having a stroke. But it just seems like no one sells many root beer popsicles anymore! Everything is just “gourmet” ice cream and mango/banana/avacado popsicles.

Why can’t we just have the good old stuff? My guess is I’d have to go to Canada to find a bag of root beer popsicles.
