Blow Pops memories...

Wow Blow Pops! Was I thrilled when I
found them again! I was walking through a store one day and there they were in
the candy section. The memories came flooding back.
My Mom was always against gum - it would end up in our hair or somewhere that
she didn't want it to be. We (6 of us) always wanted gum and always got a “No.”
Then the “big discovery” – it was like a light shinned directly on the “Blow
Pops.” They were our saving grace.
Mom never quite caught on to the “blow” part and never had a desire to read the
label. It was a lollipop. We finally had found our hidden gum. We loved it and
having this special little secret between the six of us was wonderful. We would
all be enjoying a Blow Pop and could just look at one another and giggle that
special little “I’ve got a secret” giggle. I can hear it now. That special
giggle was the most wonderful thing about childhood and it was all due to Blow
Pops. ~ Audry from California
I remember when I was about 8 or 9 years
old. My older sister and I would go to the neighborhood pool. We would stay
there all day during the summer and our parents would give us money for snacks.
After swimming for awhile we'd head over to the concession stand and the first
thing I would ask for was a Blow Pop. Grape was my favorite and my sister would
always choose cherry.
The best part was after we got all sticky
from eating our Blow Pops, we would jump back in the pool and wash it all off.
To this day, every time I see a Blow Pop, I remember those summer days,
splashing around in the pool, hanging out with my big sister and having fun. ~
