If you ever find yourself standing in front of the freezer case, trying to decide between the classic popsicles (grape, cherry, orange) and the newfangled popsicles (strawberry, raspberry, watermelon, lemonade), I would highly recommend that you neither let your 3-year-old-choose nor choose yourself the latter set. There is absolutely no reason any popsicle should have as much dye in it as these do. Granted, you're supposed to hold the stick, and Nathan refuses--even after I carefully placed the stick in his hand on Popsicle--Take 2 today. Still, his hands are wicked green (pun/allusion intended!)--as are his lips, chin, stripes of his arm (see photo below), and his thighs where the popsicle drips soaked through his pants. This stuff has given no indication that it plans to wash off any time soon, either. Crazy. So take it from me and stick with the classics. Just a tip. (He enjoyed it, of course, but I suspect he would have enjoyed the classics--or, heck, apple juice frozen in a cup--just as thoroughly!)
