When I was a kid there were 3 basic popsicles, the standard or “bullet”, the twin and the bomb. The twin was the most frustrating because I enjoyed popsicles from an age where I was too young to break them in half easily by myself. I had to climb up on a chair, place the popsicle against the edge of the counter and then lean my entire body weight onto it until it snapped. Why did they make these? Did the inventor enjoy frustrating children?

0_0 i am eating an Popsicle right now
I was sure that was blood!
“Diving accident? How can that be funny!?” I thought.
I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen the “twin” style eaten by two actual people. Someone either eats the whole thing alone or makes a more sensible popsicle choice.
In related news, it’s Winter here in Australia, so all this Summer stuff echoing across the internet is very alien to read about. Of course – being Australia – our “cold” is needing to wear long pants and a coat, but it still counts 😛
“thank god I’m bald!”
Yeah, you were some kind of weird kid. The rest of us just ate both halves. The challenge was holding onto only one stick and seeing if you could finish before the other stick fell to the ground. (I never quite did it)
I would always attempt to break the twins in half and just wound up ripping out one of the sticks and having to eat a badly lopsided popsicle.
w… wait, what?
