Last week I saw a reference to Otter Pops online and it took me back to my childhood. I loved Otter Pops and the similar Fla-Vor-Ice pops.
Otter Pops were originally marketed in 1970 by National Pax. They are still made and sold today (I saw a huge box at Wal-Mart last week and it took all my will power not to buy!) These pops have 40 calories and come in flavors including:
Alexander the Grape
Sir Isaac Lime
Little Orphan Orange
Rip Van Lemon
Louie-Bloo Raspberry
Poncho Punch
Strawberry Short Kook
In 1995 the company tried to replace Sir Isaac Lime with Scarlett O'Cherry, but a well organized protest by fourth graders stopped this change. (Too bad -- the cherry frozen fruit pops sound delicious!)
Do you remember Otter Pops or Fla-Vor-Ice from your childhood? Are you still a fan of these frozen treats? They are part of summer nostalgia for me, and always fun (and delicious!). I'd love to hear from you in the comments, below.
I've never heard them called Otter Pops, but I grew up with Fla-Vor-Ice and still see it in the grocery stores. So yummy!
ReplyDeleteI love all their silly names! My kids have an otter pop every afternoon after lunch. They are a staple in our house.
