Vox Hunt: Something on a Stick March 31, 2009

Today is "Something on a Stick Day." So go for it… show us something on a stick!

Not only will I show you something on a stick, I'll show you the best thing ever to be put on a stick.

The Chocolate Paddle Pop.

Nothing beats a chocolate paddle pop. You can get rainbow or banana but they just don't cut it.

Just a simple chocolate iceblock. They don't try to be fancy. You won't find any biscuit crumbs, or chunks of chocolate. No nuts or balls of bubble gum in the middle. They're like that CD you have. You know the one you put on when you can't decide what to play. The one you know will be right for any occasion.

When we were kids we were allowed to go to the corner shop once a week and buy whatever we wanted. Mind you we were only given 20 cents, but that got you a lot back then. And I always got a chocolate paddle pop first. I think they were 7 cents then.

One year Santa bought me a box of chocolate paddle pops. He might have bought my brother and sisters boxes as well – not sure. But of all the christmas presents I received over the years, from Santa and anyone else, thats the only one I remember.

QotD: I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream! July 12, 2008

July is national ice cream month! What's your favorite flavor?
Submitted by LittleWiseOne.

I don't eat ice cream – it hurts my teeth. You see my mother was very serious about dental care. We learnt early the importance of good teeth brushing. The good thing about this, is that the four of us kids have no fillings. None of us have ever had a speck of decay. The bad thing about this is that I have brushed away some of my enamel. So there are some exposed bits that don't like cold things. So I don't eat ice cream. And besides that it makes my throat all clagged up with phlegm.
