slo’s THURSDAY 8/14 poll - Creamsicles

[slo]

It always makes me chuckle with the type of national days we have. On the news the anchors said it’s National Creamsicle Day, so I checked and sure enough, it is. For those that don’t know what a creamsicle is, here ya go….


Now that you have read the above, you can give us your icy cool answer today…..


What is your opinion of Creamsicles?
Do you eat them regularly?
(multiple choice)



For Me……I’m not a fan of them . I’ve tried liking them multiple times, but I just can’t do it . I never eat them

I used to love them as a kid, but I haven’t had one in years.
And, I have no desire to have one now.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

I can’t stand them I’ve never cared for them so others can enjoy my portions because I won’t be eating them They’re just not for me but if you all like them enjoy them I hope you find them refreshing and delicious because I don’t I don’t know what it is about them but I just don’t care for them

I've eaten them but it's been a long time. They were OK.

 

[lanejudy]

I haven't had a creamsicle in years, probably decades. I used to like them and probably still would.

I love them but haven't had one in a while. They are getting harder to find, at least where I live. There used to be a hamburger/hot dog joint here in NE Ga called The Varsity that had a creamsicle type drink. Sadly, they have closed here in Athens, I think the original might still be open in Atlanta. I used to get those all the time.

I haven’t had one, or even seen one, in a long time. I am a fan of the orange and vanilla combination, and have had other such offerings, such as twist ice cream cones. Tillamook currently has an orange and cream variety for sale.

 

[Meriweather]

I haven't had one in years. I liked them. But have no desire to buy them anymore.

 

[Wood Nymph]

Count me in with the group that used to eat them as a kid. I used to get them from an ice cream truck that would drive around the neighborhood in the summer. But I wouldn't eat one now.

 

[NannyBeBe]

I love creamsicles but haven't had one in years. I sometimes have a scoop of vanilla ice cream with a scoop of orange sherbet.

 

[bobbiwoz]

I liked them years ago. I haven’t had one in a very long time.

 

[ronandannette]

I like them - I have some in the freezer right now (a variety of coating flavors; orange, red, purple and blue) as part of my ever-present summertime ice cream treat stash. They’re not my #1 favourite but definitely worth the calories.

 

[PollyannaMom]

I skip them (just not my thing) but I have family members who like them.

 

[CynBeth]

They are just ok. If I am going to have something on a stick want it to have chocolate. Much prefer ice cream, frozen yogurt, or something from Rita’s.

 

[TippyThomas]

A family favorite growing up. I don't have them anymore though.

 

[leebee]

I have always loved creamsicles but I don't buy them very often... like not for decades. However, a few times a year I'll buy the orange swirl ice cream, which is vanilla ice cream and orange sherbet, swirled together. I've also had what a local place calls a "Horse's Necktie" which is vanilla ice cream with orange soda (although if I'm wasting calories like this, I prefer a root beer float)!

 

[georgina]

Not sure if I ever had one, certainly not in the last 50 years. As a grumpy cynical person, I have always thought these 'national days' are really stupid. What random group decides this stuff? Marketing people?

I love orange creamsicles but I prefer the ice cream shake version.

 

[disneychrista]

I like them. But am I the only person who remembers them being called 50/50 bars?

 

[RedAngie]

I rarely eat actual Creamsicle popsicles, but I like the orange/vanilla combo soft serve, usually in a cup rather than a cone. Or on the rare occasions that I can find it, packaged vanilla/orange sherbet in “quarts” or “half gallons” from a supermarket.
