Cool Summer treats
It’s not easy being ketchup or being Canadian, but you have to give them credit for innovation. They love ketchup, on everything. So logically French’s has begun promoting their Ketchup flavored popsicles with giveaways in several cities across the Great White North. Launching this week, these limited-edition ketchup-flavored ice pops — called a “Frenchsicle” are only available in Canada. They’re being given out for free for one day each at pop up locations in Vancouver; Toronto; and Leamington, Ontario. The popsicles were created in collaboration with the Canadian ice pop brand Happy Pops. They use 100 percent Canadian tomatoes and sweetened with organic cane sugar, resulting in what French’s describes as a “savory tomato flavor [that] is perfectly balanced with a hint of salty sweetness.” “I love creating innovative treats that appeal to Canada’s diverse tastes,” Happy Pops founder Leila Keshavjee said. “I started Happy Pops to bring all-natural, handcrafted flavor to Canadians, so French’s locally-grown ketchup is a perfect pairing. I can’t wait for people to try this condiment-turned-popsicle.” If the intrigue of a ketchup popsicle alone isn’t enough to encourage Canadians to grab one, French’s says they’ll also donate two meals to Food Banks Canada for every Frenchsicle given away.
While Ketchup pops seem novel, here are a few of gourmet popsicle treats for a hot Summer day you may want to try:
Red Wine Popsicles – Turn old wine into red wine popsicles.
Tiramisu Popsicles – These tiramisu popsicles have two distinct sections. I prefer the icy and sweet coffee layer spiked with a splash of rum.
Thai tea and Sweet Potato Popsicle – combines two ingredients that lend naturally to a sweet dessert, but uses them in a unique and interesting way.
Bloody Mary Popsicle – with a strip of cooked bacon wrapped around the stick into the ice.
Cream Puff Popsicle – The popsicle is a light brownish color that mimics the toasty outer layer of a cream puff and on the inside, there’s layer of shaved ice wrapped around a creamy custard filling.
Happy snacking with adult supervision.

Why is frozen yogurt better than ice cream?
Ice cream ain’t got no culture.
When you are stressed you eat ice cream, cake, chocolate and sweets… Why?
Because Stressed spelled backwards is Desserts.
I woke up this morning and saw two birds sitting in the sun in my backyard, eating ice cream.
They were Basking Robins.
