[alt text: a picture of a Bomb Pop popsicle, where each flavor segment has its own caption. On the top, red part of the popsicle, the caption says, "yum, this bomb pop tastes like cherries". On the middle, white part of the popsicle, the caption says, "wow this lime flavor is so refreshing". On the bottom, blue part of the popsicle, the caption says, "blue raspberry, my favorite!". On the bottom part of the popsicle, where the popsicle stick is sticking out, the caption says, "I am a beaver".]

You call it a bomb pop? We call them rocket lollys, I assumed that the rocket part would be universal.

That's the brand name around these parts, at least

I don't think that would be allowed in the UK, you can't tell kids to eat bombs.

But telling them to eat rockets is okay?

Rockets are cool, they go to the moon, there's not really a fun use of the word 'bomb'

It's nice to live in a country with so little experience at war that our ice cream treats reflect our naivete.

I wish they actually looked like the picture though.. Every single type I've tried are just standard square popsicles. No cool asterisk shape :(

Gotta get every last molecule of sugar out of that stick!

The cellulose from the wood is just sugar bound in weird ways; consume the stick as well for maximum efficency in sugar absorpsion.
