Worst Popsicles Ever

[rsmbox 1]

I just accidentally bought the wrong popsicles. They were right next to the cherry ones, but these aren't cherry. I bit into one and thought it tasted a little off, so I checked the box to make sure they weren't expired. They aren't...they're just chamoy & chili flavored. I don't know what chamoy is, and I'm pretty sure I don't want to, but I do know that chili isn't exactly the flavor I look for in a icy cold popsicle. I wasted $3.29. Dammit.edit: I found a picture of the box so you can all go buy your own:

Try living a day without them. :)Hmmm... on a half serious note.... they don't have quite as much impact in New England do they? Here in the South, either the houses wouldn't get built or we'd have fewer unemployed rednecks... I'm not sure which.

All the construction workers and general contractors around here just drive a pick up truck to mostly any 7-11 and wham bam thank you ma'am, you have 10 hard working Latin American gentleman ready to jump in the back. Lots of them are illegal and are paid cash.You shoulda bought a snow cone, man.

I did a lot of searching for exactly what a chamoy is and couldn't find much other than it's inclusion in a lot of products, expecially for kids. Therefore, I have come to this conclusion:Chamoy is people! It's peeeeeeople!!

"Identical to the jars in which crack seed is merchandised in Hawaii, these are salty-sweet-anisey derivatives of the Cantonese snack food that Hawaiians call crack seed. In these same malls, often as not, there are stalls selling traditional Mexican sweets. Among the peanut marzipan, the amaranth brittle and the wafers filled with cajeta, a kind of condensed milk, are little plastic packets filled with salty dried plums. They are labelled chamoy. I looked up the word 'chamoy' in several dictionaries and asked Mexican friends what it meant, but to no avail. Then it dawned on me. 'Chamoy' is none other than the Mexican rendering of the Cantonese words see mui, the original term for crack seed. Whether crack seed came with the Acapulco Galleon, as E. N. Anderson has suggested, or with later Cantonese workers, it is now firmly ensconced as a traditional Mexican snack with its own hybrid name."source
