Grape flavor supremacy! It's great because purple is Always Grape and while red flavors are good, I hate to think I'm getting strawberry and get cherry something.
My favorite Outshines are always the limes, but I douse them in salt. Outshine lime, salt and a corona???? I feel like a Real Housewife.
all timer pull from the substack timeline. outshine popsicles have been a great love of mine for many years, with my controversial top three being coconut, strawberry, and pineapple. cutting edge journalism! love!
Have never tried the Coconut ones because I've always felt an aversion to anything coconut ever since this period of pre-teen-hood where every body spray was coconut scented and smelled terrible (to me), but this glowing dual rec has convinced me to give them a shot. My personal fav is Lime (why all the hate...) and I also like Mango with Tajin for the novelty factor, though it tastes more like a savory meal than a fruit popsicle, if that makes sense. Also did not know they made Peach ones until I saw them at my Key Foods a couple days ago. Will be trying. Pear flavor is an insane, revolutionary idea I would buy 10 packs of immediately.
When I was at Jeni's we had a pear sorbet that used to be my go-to migraine aid: it was the one thing I could eat that would keep my nausea at bay!!!
No lime hate... just not giving anything special to me... but always yummy. I think when it comes to lime I'd rather have a key lime pie than something juice-forward.
Been eating coconut Outshine popsicles my whole life - the only dessert treat that is consistently in my parents’ freezer. My mom will eat one a night and then give the popsicle stick to the chihuahua. Their website should def be popsicle.com ????
on the record as having never had an Outshine bar, but this is the kind of press you can't buy (unless Outshine wants to, in which case they can)
also wanted to humbly recommend the Trader Joe's root beer float popsicles - for my money, the perfect blend of root beer pop flavor and orange-creamsicle-style cream filling
almost immediately bought a box (tropical punch) after reading this and all I can say is — wow!!!!!!!!! also — not sure I will ever consider another high-summer dinner party dessert.
you are not alone in your kinda cringy mono trauma! I had it three years ago (mere weeks after I moved from Boston to Brooklyn by myself) and now every time I feel a tickle in my throat, my brain starts screaming that I’m going to be that ill again and I spiral. even though it is impossible to get mono a second time.
ok between this and the heat and just watching the mad men episode where peggy lands the popsicle account I am being influenced - popsicles are in my future. also those strawberry shortcake bars I can TASTE! when I was a kid every friday our elementary school did a PTA fundraiser where you could buy a slice of Buffo's pizza and an ice cream treat (choco taco or cookie ice cream sandwich) for $1.50, bliss. I think we got a can of pop too? and then the boys would pour the pop and ice cream onto their pizza and eat it... why were they like that
I have struggled sometimes to find the normal ass ice cream sandwiches at the store - can be very hit and miss here - I bought tofu ones a few months ago by mistake and while they were good, they did not live up to the classic.
Not sure if you were a mad men girlie (I’m watching for the first time) but it is fun to realize Popsicle had to have the idea to market their product for in-home use and everyone had to wonder, will people ever want to eat popsicles at home?
i want the record to show that i've had two strawberry outshines now and they're in my bottom 3. like maybe fully my least favorite. kinda mealy!
WOW
would pay $17 clean dollars for a fran mag/minutes/outshine collab thai iced tea popsicle

Thank you for reading!!! Justice for strawberry

Emma you simply must coconut it up and report back asap. Totally agree re mango Tajin.

my friend Emily (Outshine Head) says "I agree with these rankings"

I let Bandit have the final 2-3 licks of coconut and/or tropical punch if he's been good....
we can't just move past your chihuahua eating one stick a night, that's so beautiful
Pets: they love Outshine too!
another free slogan for the good folks at outshine!
Omg from clicking popsicle.com I’ve learned that apparently “popsicle” is a word like Kleenex where it is a brand. ..
Outshine are you listening....

i can’t believe it’s been a year since the mono incident…it feels like it was so much more recent than that. holy shit
I have flashbacks..

Every now and then when I get hit with big fatigue I'm like oh no here it comes.......
also had Fury Road in my list, it's just so good! the whole NYT list became suspect to me when I saw Almost Famous, a movie that sucks, ranked so high
There's a lot of fuckery going on on the big list.... I suspect on purpose to get people like us mad!!
now I'm reading these individual lists...Ms. Julianne Moore let's watch a movie sometime
Unrelated-ish but I love that memoria is in your top ten, it’s in mine too. I think about it frequently and saw it 3x in theaters
Amazing movie

Boys used to do crazy science at school for no reason...
