Orange creamcicles

Nothing says summertime treat to me more than an orange creamcicle. This, to me, is literally heaven on a stick. But one disappointing creamcicle experience has led me on a journey to find the creme de la creme of the frozen pops. You see, store brands may claim that they are as good as name brands, but experience is teaching me otherwise.

GIANT brand creamcicles have inspired this quest. Yes, it's a store-brand pop, but that doesn't mean it has to be less-than-inspiring. This pop (and I've eaten two to verify!) screams of lower quality. The orange sherbert "shell" is too solid, and the vanilla ice cream center tastes like the wooden stick that makes it a popcicle. Very disappointing.

ACME brand creamcicles are a step up from GIANT brand. While still a store brand, it is a economical lternative to name brands. My only complaint is the piddly amount of ice cream in these pops. It takes two full bites from the top to reach that vanilla goodness.

GREEN's orange creamciles. The best I've tried so far. Perfect proportions of orange shell and scrumptious Green's vanilla ice cream. The shell has a sherbert consistency, making it easy to bite. The perfect pop. I'd be hard-pressed to find a better quality frozen treat.

The quest will continue, though, as there are many more grocery stores and, I'm sure, more brand name pops to sample.

Until next time...
