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 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.
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 just meant the popsicle brand bomb pops you can find at the grocery store. Because selling one of those for $5 would be price gouging children. Which is uncool.
In an effort to teach my kid about money, I offered to give my kid $1 to buy the rocks in their pocket. They said yes, but took my dollar and tried to walk away. After wrestling the dollar back, it became a uneasy truce where we both hand things back at the same time.
And halfway through, my kiddo said this was dumb and gave me some of his rocks if I left him alone.
Nah it's more stories like this post. A meme community to share kid stories that are a mix between dad/parent humor and absurd/illogical/stupid scenarios (through the lens of an adult, but makes perfect sense for the kid). Like this:
I have a leaf collection from when I was a kid - this kid very well might grow up and still have that cool leaf. People assume kids will just throw them away, but it's not necessarily true. That leaf is probably even more than just a cool leaf to her now, because now she'll also have the memory of nearly losing it to an ice cream man.
There was a lot of general child-hate on that sub. If people are going to have a community here posting when kids doing weird or silly things, let's not name it something that will attract toxic garbage
