Pop(sicle) Culture

One thing I wondered, which is nicely topical with the holiday  -- I picked up the boys Bomb Pops at the Zoo, those really nice, chunky ones they tend to sell, and it bothers me that I can never find the GOOD Bomb Pops in retail places -- only at Zoos and amusement parks and with independent retailers can one seem to find the good ones. You know the ones that I mean -- thick, delicious, chunky Bomb Pops. The one above is the standard issue one, but there are wide ones, and big ones, and they're wonderful. But not readily available to everyday folks. Why? Why can't I get the GOOD Bomb Pops? They are, next to banana popsicles, my favorite quiescently frozen confection. I don't like not being able to find the good ones.
