I grew up with Pinipig Crunch as my favorite treat. I love ice cream, no doubt about it. But my problem always was this. It would sometimes drip before I could eat it all. Some parts would drop from the popsicle stick if I was not quick on the draw. It could get pretty messy. And I still had a popsicle stick and wrappers to dispose of.
Nestle recently came up with the answer to my woes. Nestle Pops!
It comes in 2 handy sizes. the 62 mL plastic container (which retails at Php25) and the 211mL tub container (which retails at Php75).

(211 mL Tub)
Nestle Pops looks like Hershey Kisses (at least that was my first impression). Curious about it, I popped one into my mouth and just savored the chocolate-y flavor until it was soft enough to collapse. And delight of all delights, my palate tasted the vanilla ice cream which is inside each Pop!!! How ingenious!
No messy hands, no wrappers to throw away, no popsicle sticks. Problem solved!
At the moment, Nestle Pops is available at Shell Select Stations nationwide as well as at the MRT.
And….it has its own website! Check it out HERE. It has an online game for games young and old called “Pop’d Stars” which offers an Xbox 360 console with a Rock Band set as the grand prize aside from weekly prizes.
You’re so warm and friendly!! So glad to have met you that evening. 🙂
Jane: I was so delighted to finally meet you, Toni. But I forgot to have our pic together taken! 🙁
