I'm very picky about my Popsicles (always capitalize it, it's a brand name). There are flavors I love and flavors I hate, and it bugs me when I have to buy a box of mixed flavors and there's also a flavor in there I don't particularly care for. My favorites are grape and orange, and I can do without cherry, thank you, but those are the three flavors you get in a typical box. If someone at Popsicle could make a box filled with nothing buy grape and orange, I would appreciate it.
Today is National Grape Popsicle Day. Not sure what type of recipes I could list here, except this one: grab a grape Popsicle, take off the reader, and then eat it. If you know of any other recipes, let us know in the comments below.
(Oh, and if you try to eat an orange Popsicle or root beer or even a Fudgsicle, the frozen treats police will be at your door, so be careful.)

I'm the opposite - orange is my least favorite flavor. Grape and Cherry are my faves. And I ALWAYS get more orange in a box than any other color. It is always more than a thrid of the box and sometimes it's even more than half the box. It doesn't matter if I buy the 12 or the 24 count boxes. My friends used to laugh at me for it, but they have started paying attention when they buy popcicles and have noticed the same thing. It wouldn't bother me so much if sometimes there were more grape than the other flavors or more cherry than the other flavors but that NEVER happens to me.

Banana are easily the best Popsicles ever.

Cherry = Cough Syrup
Same with canned Cherry Cola. As soon as I point that out to people, they gag and put down their can of medicine flavored gag water.

I have a theory that product testing shows people like Orange flavor the least, so the Popsicle company manufactures Cherry and Grape the least, keeping their clients hungry for more, possibly throwing out the Orange flavor and thereby forced to buy more product. I personally eat all the flavors, but I too ALWAYS have more Orange than any other flavor, consistently, and it's my least favorite.
