Road Signs: Ketchup popsicles for Halloween...

Are Ketchup flavored popsicles an acceptable Halloween treat?

Road Signs

Since the trick-or-treaters are coming by my street tonight, I’m considering a new treat instead of the same old Candy Corn and Milky Way bars. Here’s an alternative taste treat that I guarantee no one else on the block is giving out. I’m combining my love/hate relationship of ketchup with my real love of popsicles into something special.

How about Ketchup flavored popsicles?

Those goofy Canadians (and I do love my Canadian friends) have come up with something so strange, so off the wall, that I just have to cover it here.

As you probably know, I have strong feelings about ketchup and what not to put it on. So, ketchup on meatloaf is great… ketchup on hotdogs is a no-go. Ketchup on french fries is a necessity… ketchup on steak—OMG, NO! I’m still on the fence about ketchup on eggs, but I do like a little hot sauce on the side. So what’s all the controversy about? Read on and find out…

Ketchup Popsicle Madness!

Canadians have a long history of offbeat foods that we love or hate, such as Canadian bacon (yes, it’s actually ham) and cheese curds (looks pretty disgusting to me). But here’s what’s going on now…

“Canadian ketchup brand French’s has unleashed a ketchup-flavored popsicle in honor of summer, and it’s sparked some strong sections from social media users. Dubbed the “Frenchsicle,” the unusual treat will only be available in select pop-up locations on Thursday. The controversial popsicle is part of a collaboration between French’s and Happy Pops, a Canadian ice pops company that uses natural, gluten-free ingredients for their products.”

Have they gone too far?

Some things are sacrosanct. These icons have been around for so long that they’ve been woven into the threads of society. Pull on one thread and the entire fabric of the space/time continuum could be ripped to shreds with unforeseen consequences! (Yes, I’m still a Trekkie.)

Please take this poll

So, I’m asking you to respond to this poll. Do you love the idea of ketchup-flavored popsicles? Hate it? Don’t care either way? Please respond to the poll below and be counted. Plus, if I can get a sample I’m even willing to try one and do a review.

That’s all, folks…

No, I’m not actually giving out Ketchup flavored popsicles on Halloween, but it would be fun, I think…
