Several times a week I get an email from Amazon with items of which they think I might be interested. I had looked at popsicle molds this last week, so that was the theme of the email - sticks in bulk, how-to books, flavors and such.
The mold I had looked at was a large one made of plastic and in one of the reviews someone had mentioned the product had BPA in it and recommended another mold made of stainless steel. I looked at that one (that's the one I would buy IF I were to buy one, I think) and then noticed one of the related items at the bottom of the page, a Dr Pepper popsicle, already made, ready to freeze then eat.
(I'd link to it, but I think the numbers and such in the URL would go to my account. Better safe than sorry) The name of the product is:
Dr Pepper "SODA POPS" Freeze & Eat Frozen Treats
I've mentioned before that sometimes the comments after an article are more interesting than is the article and the comments and reviews after Amazon products are no exception. If someone writes a comment that gushes about the product, there will always be someone who comes along and accuses the poster of working for the company. (Sometimes I wonder myself) Other times people gripe about the product not being as advertised, then someone will post a reply saying something like "It SAYS at the top the serving size is only 4 oz, you dumbass!" I've seen flame wars on Amazon rival just about any I've seen on political sites.
Under the Dr Pepper pops there was this fractured English review. If someone is spoofing, it's still funny. If not, it's hilarious.
Good thing but look like freezy turd delicious and good for babie eating for good and brittle bone i am from the ukraine sorry englais not arsome but i think all should 2 buy because for fast eating kids! Thank you for all of the shipping and fast times with no wait for delivery all the way to glorious ukraine, where sale of frozen soda in cafeteria is forbidden on penalty of goats. love the thank you sir!
On second thought, if they're like "freezy turds" then I might NOT want to purchase this item. I'm also very glad I live in a country that doesn't eat "babie" and where goats aren't penalized...or are the penalty, either way.
The mangled wording made me wonder if my favorite Russian made her way back home? I bet she's got some fast eating kids by now but hope they don't have brittle bones from eating those freezy turds.

My Pop
A little late for Father's Day, but it's pretty much spot-on. I had issues with my dad, but I never thought he didn't love me and always knew I was safe with him around.
Your Dad Was the Protector |
 When you were growing up, your dad didn't want anything or anyone to ever hurt you. Your dad did his best to protect you, and it was hard for him to let go and watch you make mistakes. You never doubted your dad's love for you, but you often felt frustrated by his strict rules and ideas. You wish you had been given a little more freedom... it would have meant battling with him a lot less. |

It's Hard to be Sweet
When you're in a diabetic coma.
You Are Sweet Because You're Brilliant |
 You have your own thing going on, and you love it. You enjoy the path not taken. You are a natural strategist. You always like to formulate a plan of attack. You are brainy and you love difficult intellectual challenges. You don't shy away from difficulty. You are original and independent. You're making your own trends and carving your own path. |
It's not a brilliant thing to polish off an entire pint of chocolate ice cream, trust me.
