Your Popsicle's Melting by Kathy Mackey
Trade Ya, Popsicles For A Date.

So this is what happens when you look for things online.
One day you can have free fill dirt (you haul), the next day it’s tons of moving boxes all in good shape.
Well, today it’s orange popsicles (all in good shape, you haul).
A regular box of popsicles includes cherry (my favorite), grape (so-so) and orange. I don’t like the orange ones. I’m a grown-up and I don’t have to eat them if I don’t want to.
On the other hand I can’t bring myself to throw them away and I don’t have children or grandchildren living in the area to give them to (assuming they would like them).
I currently have a bunch of orange popsicles in my freezer. If you want them, let me know.
If you are paranoid about them, you probably shouldn’t be looking for free things online in the first place. However, keep in mind they are all “factory sealed” and whoever takes them probably isn’t going to end up on the 6:00 news because they were poisoned to death by orange popsicles.
Someone is going to want these things, so you better hurry.
If things work out, maybe we could develop a “popsicles are ready for pickup” relationship whereby I send you an E-mail whenever the freezer overfloweth.
Keep in mind that a box of 24 popsicles costs about $4.50 and you are only getting 1/3 of a box…or in this case 1/3 of several boxes. The point is I don’t think you should consider driving from Estes Park for the orange popsicles. However, if you do and you are first, I will give them to you.
FAQ:
Q: Are the orange popsicles sugar free?
A: Do I SOUND like someone why buys sugar free popsicles? No, they aren’t.
NOTE FROM THE MISSED CONNECTIONS CHIEF BOTTLE FINDER:
Today, we’re featuring three missed connections from the Western Massachusetts feed. IMHO, this post deserves an award in the creative bartering category! But the question remains – would a red popsicle person be able to develop a deep, satisfying relationship with an orange popsicle person? Would the flavor difference drive them apart or would they be able to work together toward the goal of finishing the box? Hmmmm…..
