Okay, yeah, funny story, but are these the bomb pops that you can buy in a box of 20 for like $4? Or do ice cream trucks get something different? I need to know.
Depends on the size and the truck. The ones when I was a kid had the big 'uns. I don't know what size you're getting when it's 20 for $4 but I imagine it's one of the smaller ones. The flavor is the same though.
It doesn't matter to me, though. The orange sherbet Flintstones push ups were superior in every way.
If your favorite ice cream isn’t a screw ball (with gum on the bottom) then you are wrong. 2nd place is one of the cartoon character heads with gumballs for eyes.
I can respect that, but we were poor as fuck and those cost more than the humble push pop, especially from the ice cream truck. So the push pop beat them out by being the tastiest I could afford to get more than one of and I never really tried those.
I did try the bomb pop because they were dirt cheap at the 4th of July celebrations but they never did it for me the way the push pops did.
I’m going to be aging myself but I haven’t bought something from an ice cream truck since before 9/11.
I almost remember prices being either 1.25 and 2.50 depends how fancy the treat was.
I'm in my 40s, so you're not aging yourself too badly. I could get a couple of push pops for a buck. Anything else decent would cost more than a buck for two.
Ditto on the age. Kinda funny.
Actually stinks we don’t have an ice cream truck in my area. Only thing we get is nasty sno-cones that have decade old syrup or Hawaiian frozen ice that’s like $5.
I want a screw ball damn it.
If you're not getting the one that vaguely looks like sonic the hedgehog we can't be friends.
I’m on team Michelangelo.
