Epic Win: Twin Pop Popsicles

Nov. 13, 2009

Submitted and Written by Sarah K, who likes to share

Not much to be said, but these were central to every one of my childhood summers. Sometimes my neighbour would keep a whole one to herself, rather than breaking it in half and sharing, and I thought she was horrible for that. ;)

Anybody see the episode of Mad Men where Peggy comes up with an ad campaign for popsicles?

Epic Win: Corn Pops + Wacky Wallwalkers

Submitted by Kara M

Or maybe the epic win is prizes in cereal. I remember a day when my sugar cereal promised prizes in the box, not through some mail-in offer where I had to pay for postage.

Submitted by Ryan B

(Only this job would take me to the Wikipedia entry for “Dairy Queen.”)

Dilly Bars were introduced in 1955. Soft-serve ice cream on a stick, dipped in delicious chocolate. There were also other flavors like cherry, butterscotch, and the infamous lime Dilly Bar, which was coated a light green.
