Fla-Vor-Ice is Ov-err-ated

Fla-Vor-IceClever piece today at The Onion AV Club, The Hater's Guide To Summer. It's sort of a quick list of things to do this summer, aimed towards people who hate the season (like me!). One of the products they talk about is Fla-Vor-Ice, and I'm glad someone else has finally said that they don't taste that great.

My roommate is addicted to the things, and they certainly are cheap, but the taste? Yikes. Give me Popsicles or Fudgsicles or Italian Ice any day over these synthetic frozen rainbow sticks of blah.

What is your frozen confection of choice during the hot months?

otherwise, strawbery daiquiri for me. thanks.

Too bad I can't freeze them into popsicles!

Your pictures always come out so wonderfully! Mine has this blinding flash which is unfailingly unflattering for any subject.

You start with an empty ice cream pail. You add a can of frozen lemonaide (or maybe two) and half the water asked for. You fill it the rest of the way with booze and freeze it. Slushes. You can get very drunk on a summer's day this way.

Does anyone remember the fruit flavored Jello pops? [ not fudgesicles! ] Those were pretty much the best popsicles I've ever had, and I can't find a replacement. Boohoo.
