What a sheltered life I lived

we use to collect them on the beach and make houses from them on rainy non beach days.

And running them down with my bike. And throwing water on them...and gettin' after them with a baseball bat ...and....uh....never mind.

beating them like a rug during spring cleaning?

After an evening shift of packing 2-stick popsicles into boxes of a dozen, my knuckles would be bleeding. The one-stick bars were less deadly.

The one-stick bars (the machine that made them all was called the Stick-Bar Machine, of course) with chocolate coating were my favourite, becuase the young man who brought the big pails of chocolate up from the Fruit Room had sparkly blue eyes. He said he had chocolate arms from all the lifting of heavy chocolate pails, and he told me I neat knees, as I sat at the SBM in my short skirted uniform. That was the summer of 1965. We are still together.

Awww....what a neat story!

Sure, we'd do that with popsicle sticks on the curb...not so much to make weapons...it was more just something to do with the stick after the popsicle was gone....

Nope...

It's soooooo icky....can't stand that feeling!

It's like people who clean their teeth with their napkins after a meal....and that squeaky noise comes out....ewwwwwwwww!

And yes...I had many many popsicle stick "knives"...

(course we also followed "The Spray Man" on our bikes and rode behind all that poison they sprayed to kill the mosquito's.......were our parents that dumb or just didn't know???
