Tired of hearing K.L.'s bragging, the latest being she's going back to school to be a nutrition coach.  She's good at her job, but enough already with her being a know it all.  I wonder if she didn't get enough attention as a child.

@MershaI hear what you are saying about hiring a video person. I thought about it. Frankly I don’t think they even considered it. The bride is very much a “don’t look at me” personality. She does not want any attention on her whatsoever. She was complaining because the photographer is insisting on being in on the “getting ready” part. So I don’t think they want another stranger watching them. There will be less than 80 people there, so hopefully I will get enough of everything going on.

I love the Outshine popsicles too---the strawberry, raspberry and lime flavors are my favorites....

I just got two boxes of those flavors the other day.  Usually I buy a variety of whatever they have, but they haven't been stocking a lot of the freezer areas very well in my store lately so that was the only variety they had.  I'm just glad they had SOME and I'm totally enjoying them.  I ate two yesterday.  It was too hot!  heh   

Good thing I like them all!

@Spurt  -  This was the first time I bought this combo of flavors and, is it just me or are the lime ones SUPER sour?   I tried one and then just ate all the strawberry and raspberry ones because it was so sour.  I told myself - you have to eat the rest of these before you can open the other box.   

So I tried another of the lime ones and the sourness was overwhelming.  Then, on the back end, it got to a bitter taste in my mouth.  I had to eat a handful of almonds to get the bitterness out of my mouth.  

I guess I'm just surprised at how sour the lime ones are but then sometimes my taste buds aren't right (been going on for a while) and maybe it's just me.  

Hoping that next time I go to the store they will have re-stocked the other flavor varieties that I have already enjoyed.

Every one has their own special flavor favorites, and I like sour flavors and find it refreshing in the hot summer.  But I can understand the lime isn't for everyone. Your taste buds are right on track....Guess I should warned you....Im not fond of the variety pack with kiwi

I like tart too so the lime appeal to me but lime in general, unlike lemon, seems to have a bitter finish. The tea ones are my favorite, not that I would turn down any of the others.

Thanks for your response.     You know what?   Yesterday I ate the last lime one from that first package and it didn't taste AS sour and didn't leave me with a bitter aftertaste so some of it probably is me.    I actually enjoyed that one.   

I probably tend to go more for the berry types.  I like the ones best that have tangerine, raspberry, mixed berry, and strawberry.   Those are the only other ones I can think of in the moment.

Popsicle-type treats are really nice to have on hand during the warmer/hot months for people like me who hate the heat.   I can get cooled down for a bit and I like to keep my freezer a low enough temp so that they are nice and hard, so it takes a while to eat one.    Simple things, right?

I saw Outshine popsicles when I was making my grocery order and I wish I had tried them. Instead I got ice cream style frozen yogurt. Boy howdy do they add sugar to that. Way way way too sweet. I didn't like it.

If you guys are saying the Outshine pops are not super sugary that makes me very interested.

I don't find them over-ly sweet at all.    There are also sugar-free ones and I buy those also, since they are different flavors and I like all those flavors too.

Here's a quick shot I took of the back of the box of the ones I currently have -  HTH

ETA:  As much as I do enjoy my sweets, I really don't care for overly, cloying, sweet.  These fit the bill for me.

If you love the old Popsicles and have a Harris Teeter supermarket nearby I mentioned my banana popsicle find earlier.  Yesterday, I discovered a box of 24 pops in cherry, orange and grape.  There were 24 to a box and the price was $2.98.  It was a Harris Teeter brand.

They are delicious!  They taste just like the popsicles you remember from childhood.
