Do You Scream For Ice Cream Or Popsicles?
Woo, it’s hot! Now that we’ve confirmed the obvious, let’s get into some tasty ways to cool down.
What’s your go-to treat when the ice cream truck rolls down the street? I used to be a big fan of the toasted almond bar but, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve been steering away from ice cream in favor of Italian ices and popsicles.

Dairy is too heavy and not that refreshing on a 95-degree day. On the other hand, popsicles and Italian ices always get the job done. Charlotte’s own Lindy’s Homemade Italian Ice sells a Tropical Combo box with both pineapple and mango flavors that really hit the spot.
MSN.com asked people about their favorite popsicle flavors. There’s a clear winner:
- 50%-Cherry
- 25%-Grape
- 22%-Orange
- 3%-Lime
I have to add one more flavor for the 4th of July: the classic red, white and blue Firecrackers and Bomb Pops. But whether you’ve just mowed your lawn or you’re relaxing around the pool on a blazing Carolina afternoon, any flavor will do.
