9 Nasty Truths About Your Favorite Foods
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I was in line in the supermarket last night, and the woman behind me told her son, around 10 or 11 years old, that if he wanted he could run to get some ice cream. About 5 minutes later the kid came back.
With frozen eyeballs and green slime.
He picked up Fear Factor Pop Ups, from Popsicle. These little frozen concoctions look like regular Pushups, but they have "extreme" colors and big eyeballs on the top of them. Let's take the copy straight from the web site:
"In sour cherry with an eyeball gumball and sour watermelon, both with the shocking taste of sour lemon slime. Or the slime pop - sour watermelon flavored ice with sour lemon slime." (Do those lines even make sense?)
The mother, needless to say, was not pleased with her son's choice. In fact, I think I heard her say the word "no" about 17 times. The poor kid was heartbroken when she told him to take it back and get something "normal." But he didn't cry, so good for him.
I didn't even know they made food products based on reality shows. I'm not looking forward to Big Brother Cake or Blind Date Juice.

This push-up pop is no worse then lets say, gummi worms,gummi rats and gummi spiders. I have been eating ice cream with gum in it for a long time.Think of good humor baseball mits and the ball is gum. Nothing different there nutritionaly wise. And the Mom's reaction, it happens. The kids reaction, again it happens. Kids have been in love with slime since, cartoons and Nick game shows. And sour is the name of the flavor game too. The sourer the better. I think it is a badge of courage to eat it and not up chuck. For some unknown reason they like it. And the great think tanks that come up with all this stuff know this. So we will have Big Brother cakes,and Power Puff snowballs as long as there are kids and adults that are young at heart.

I have bought Butterfinger ice cream for my oldest daughter and Dora the Explorer popsicles for my 2 year old too. You know that if they had made this stuff when we were kids we would have wanted it. Spiol you kids sometimes, let them pick the ice cream. If you have more than one kid, let them take turns picking, you might find something you like.

Though, I find something strange with this. Wouldn't the child have known that his mother would not approve? Was this maybe just some ploy to see how far he could push her?
