Popsicles. A childhood memory for sure. I'm going to say .05, I think that was for the double, but it could have been .10. Orange was my favorite. I had an aunt who ate MANY orange popsicles while she was pregnant. Surprising she didn't develop diabetes, or that my cousin wasn't born with orange skin. I liked the Fudgesicles, creamsicles, and the ice cream sandwiches. The soft ice cream sandwiches were a favorite, but the Klondike type isn't all that bad either.

I'm not an ice cream crazy person. A couple of times a year I'll indulge in a cone. We have a very popular creamery just on the other side of the park near my house. There is often a line in the evening.

 

A resident just gave me a half gallon of Friendly’s ice cream. It is called super stuffed chocolate fudge brownie. She said she had 2 of them and couldn’t fit them in her freezer. Twist my arm

 

Talking about ice cream. When I was a kid, early teens, my grandmother was a chef at Wellesley college.
She had access to vendors of eh good ice cream in tubs. She would buy the 2.5 gallon tubs of ice cream.
She brought home a gallon can of butterscotch sauce. We got really spoiled.
She stopped though when she went to get some ice cream 2 days after she brought it home and it was all gone.
'cuz, you know, teenagers. aka food disposals, aka vacuums, aka black holes of digestion.

5¢ is what an orange popsicle cost in 1950. I remember because my dad would leave a nickle on top of the bottom post of the staircase each morning as he went to work so that I could buy one. Did you know that the popsicle was invented by an 11 year-old kid from California? Google it.

 

history channel i think did a special on it.
