I think I’ve eaten my weight in these

 

I go through food phases like I go through everything-else phases. I go through a period where I’ll crave a certain thing, then I’ll be so sick of it I never want to touch it again.

Sadly, the same has happened with these frosty treats. At first lick, they had kind of a strange taste, just like when your mom would buy Wyler’s packets instead of Kool-Aid because it was like 3 cents cheaper. And these are also made by Wyler’s. Coincidence? But the more I ate them, the more I liked them, especially the tangy raspberry and oddly refreshing kiwi-watermelon. Lemon was my third favorite and I still have a ton of orange creams in the freezer because, on my taste meter they’re simply, “Ehh.”

But my love affair with the pops seems to be ending. Oh sure, they’re up for a whirl when I come home after a 90-degree humidity fest and want something cold. But their taste is starting to sweetly sicken me. And like the Philly Swirl ices I consumed by the truckload before them, they’re probably on their way to freezer-burn hell, never to touch my lips again.

Wyler’s Italian Ices, I will remember you….

ETA: I went back to put in a link for these things and just saw that they have Icee Slush Bars??!!!?!

And the cycle will continue. 🙂
