1
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Savor Prediction of iHeartRadio. I'm Annie Reese.

2
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 2: And I'm Lauren Vogelbaum, and today we have a classic

3
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 2: episode for you about quiescently frozen confections and or the

4
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: Popsicle Popsicle brand pop Popsicles share ice pops those. Yeah,

5
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 2: the fear is back immediately.

6
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I'm a little nervous, honestly, the

7
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: way I rarely am.

8
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: Oh, that's that. It's a trademark, copyright infringement nervousness. It's

9
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: like lawyer nervous is very specific at any rate. So

10
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: this one originally heard in June of twenty eighteen. Wow, yeah, wow,

11
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: a lot of time it was. It was. I'm like,

12
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: I surely I did not exist. Then that's too, that's

13
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: too long ago that I don't know at any rate. Yeah,

14
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 2: this is a super fun episode. That being said, drink responsibly.

15
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 2: I love that this is the second time in two

16
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: classics that I've had to catch myself on that one.

17
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: And one more update for you. So like this is

18
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 2: sometimes when I'm listening back to an old episode, I

19
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 2: will actually go like, maybe we don't rerun that one

20
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: because there's a lot of just outdated language, because language evolves,

21
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: and social language has evolved quite quickly in the past.

22
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 2: However long that is that that's been six years. Cool,

23
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: thank you for my brain refused to do the math,

24
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: and so right and so like, like the language surrounding,

25
00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: particularly enslavement, has really has really changed, and so sorry

26
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: about that. I hope that you can forgive former us. Also, Annie,

27
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: I hope that you can forgive me for never making

28
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: our D and D group those boozy popsicles. I don't know, Lauren,

29
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 2: this might be it, This might be the end. I'm

30
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: gonna have to I'm gonna have to ponder this. I

31
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 2: will say, you know, there's still time.

32
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 3: Sure.

33
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're planning another episode of what installment of D

34
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 2: and D right now? Yeah, we are.

35
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 1: It's got a new fun twist where good friend of

36
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: the show is no longer Joe McCormick is no longer

37
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: near us, So.

38
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, make a road trip of it living in Atlanta. Yeah,

39
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: so so some of us or I mean, the internet exists.

40
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: We're doing this on the internet right now, but it's true.

41
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: But we're I feel like we're leaning towards the road trip,

42
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: which might say something about us.

43
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 2: And we'll figure it all out.

44
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: We will, we will, But perhaps there will be popsicles

45
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: of one variety or another, although that would.

46
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 2: Be an absolute mess right on a road trip if

47
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 2: we went to him. Yes, yes, that would not be

48
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 2: a very smart road trip. There's a lot of issues

49
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: we need to work out. But I have faith. I

50
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 2: have faith. All right, I suppose we should let pass.

51
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 3: Annie and Lauren take it away.

52
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to food Stuff. I'm Annie Rees.

53
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: And I'm Lauren Vocabam. And today we're talking about the

54
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: popsicle ice pop and other quiescently frozen ice pop desserts. Yes,

55
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: because we were not sued yet.

56
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: We had the Derby Pie people, but the popsicle people.

57
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's another risk that we're taking. It is.

58
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 2: We take a lot of deep risks on the show.

59
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 2: It's all for you, it really is, so.

60
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: I mean, we're just putting our necks on the line

61
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,239
Speaker 1: to tell you about these frozen streets of the summer.

62
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: One might call them if one wanted to, if one

63
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 2: so dared, if one dared popsicles, I pluralized it, I

64
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 2: know on our studio door. Okay, okay, all of this

65
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: begs the question, why are we going through this verbal acrobatics,

66
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 2: these verbal acrobatics. What is a popsicle or a popsicle?

67
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 2: What is it?

68
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: This is illegal quandary, a legal quandary, and Lauren, since

69
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: I've already in trouble with a law, perhaps you should

70
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: take this.

71
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 2: On all right. Well, legally, a popsicle is a brand

72
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 2: of quiescently frozen confections aka flavored ice, pops quiescently frozen.

73
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 2: I'm coming back to it, okay. In the parlance of

74
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: our times, popsicles are usually fruit juice or fruit flavored

75
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 2: water with or without added sweeteners, flavorings, colorings, and or

76
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 2: texturizers that's been frozen in place into an oblong shape

77
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 2: with a sturdy flat stick stuck part way through the

78
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: center to act like a handle.

79
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: And the sticks popsicles. And yes, this is on the

80
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: Popsicle Official Popsicle website. The sticks that they use are

81
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: traditionally birch wood.

82
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 2: And yes, popsicle is what you would call a proprietary eponym.

83
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 2: That's a word that's a legally registered trademark as a

84
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 2: company name. It's the name of a company. But that

85
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 2: word has come to be used generically by you know,

86
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: the people at large mean any form of whatever thing

87
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 2: that company is famous for. You know, like saying Google

88
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: when you mean internet search, or band aid when you

89
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: mean adhesive bandage, or Kleenex when you mean tissue, Coke

90
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,799
Speaker 2: when you mean soda, or I mean any soda. Yeah,

91
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 2: sometimes styrofoam when you mean extruded polystyrene foam. Well, that's

92
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 2: just difficult to say frisbee when you mean throwing disc.

93
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: Give me my throwing disc now, I'd like to have

94
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 2: fun quickly my throwing discs Uh, that sounds like a

95
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 2: weapon throwing Ooh it does, really, I mean frisbees are

96
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 2: sort of weapons anyway, that's true. It depends on how

97
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 2: good you aren't catching them. You're totally correct, but okay,

98
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 2: So if you're being legally technically correct, you never use

99
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 2: the word popsicle as a noun. You never you never

100
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 2: have a popsicle. You have a popsicle ice pop.

101
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,679
Speaker 1: Oh, I can't wait to annoy someone about this later.

102
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: Similarly, you cannot pluralize the word popsicle. If you're being

103
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: real on the up and ups about it, You're you're

104
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 2: not going to the store to buy popsicles. You're going

105
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 2: to buy popsicle pops of course, clearly. And if you

106
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 2: said that you love popsicles, great taste, Annie, you're talking

107
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: about the flavor of a company, and I think you

108
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: should look at your life and your choices. What a

109
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: fool I am. You'd be correct to say the great

110
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: taste of popsicle ice pops.

111
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: Now I'm just like a walking commercial.

112
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 2: This is language that I took pretty directly from their

113
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: website about how to navigate these complex problems.

114
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: Because they are complex problems that we all face, especially

115
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: in the summer.

116
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 2: Yes, oh man, I've faced a number of ice pop

117
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 2: devices during summer months.

118
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: Ice pop devices should be the legal name.

119
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: Let's just be honest. Okay, So so popsicle, Yes, popsicle

120
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 2: is a brand. But also you, I mean, you know

121
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 2: you're probably not gonna get sued if you talk about popsicles,

122
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 2: Like within your own home.

123
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: I think every place should have a jar, like a

124
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: swear jar, but a popsicle jar, and the company comes

125
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: around and collects it. Like every time you say popsicle,

126
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: you put a nickel in there. At the end of

127
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: the year, popsicle, the company collects all the nickels.

128
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: Oh, or maybe they could have a like a big

129
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 2: one for like Google and Kleenex and all that stuff

130
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 2: and come around. I'm not sure how they would divv

131
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 2: it up. You'd need to have different sure compartments. You're right,

132
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 2: but I don't know. We'll have to look and do

133
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 2: separately outside of the podcast. If Google has a whole

134
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 2: page about how to navigate talking about their.

135
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: Product, I think it's just for employees. Oh okay, yeah,

136
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: see they were fine. The nickel system is only for

137
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: popsicle okay, mm hmm, although they probably don't need any

138
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: nickels because each year popsicle products top two billion in sales.

139
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: Two billion units.

140
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and uh.

141
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 2: The most popular popsicle brand flavor is cherry. I found

142
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 2: that surprising. Well, I don't know what I would I

143
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 2: would imagine strawberry, I guess. I guess me too. Yeah. Yeah.

144
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 2: H Tracking down non branded ice pop sales, or non

145
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 2: popsicle branded ice pop sales rather is a little squidgy

146
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 2: because you know, legally the term is quiescedly frozen confections,

147
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 2: and in terms of market sales, they're in the general

148
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 2: category of frozen novelties, which can encompass things that are

149
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 2: clearly not popsicles one way or another, like you know,

150
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: wrapped ice cream, cones, ice cream sandwiches, stuff like that.

151
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 2: But in the United States, as of twenty sixteen, the

152
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: frozen novelties category saw one point two billion dollars in sales.

153
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: If you don't want to contribute to that one point

154
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: two billion dollars.

155
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 2: You can make them at home.

156
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

157
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're pretty easy to make because Okay, the term

158
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 2: quiescently means in a state of inactivity or dormancy, which

159
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: here means you don't have to mess with popsicles as

160
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 2: you're freezing the because they will shape up all on

161
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 2: their own, unlike ice cream, which you have to churn

162
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: while you're freezing it to whip wee bits of air

163
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 2: into like the physical structure to create the right type

164
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 2: of crystallization that gives the finished ice cream that dreamy

165
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 2: smooth texture, but not so with popsicles. If you buy

166
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 2: a popsicle mold, which are pretty cheap at larger groceries

167
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,599
Speaker 2: think big box stores, you know on the internets, you

168
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,599
Speaker 2: can pour pretty much any juice or soda or booze

169
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 2: yes into the mold, just leave it in the freezer.

170
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 2: For a few hours and have pretty excellent popsicles. I mean,

171
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: straight liquors wouldn't work because the freezing point of alcohol

172
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 2: is way below the freezing point of water. But you

173
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 2: could water them down and make.

174
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 1: Like a cocktail pop Yeah, totally.

175
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 2: And not to go on too much of a booze

176
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 2: tangent here, oh never, but certainly in my research I

177
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 2: went on a really huge boozeangent. So like, for the record,

178
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 2: you need less than about ten percent total alcohol by

179
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 2: volume in your mixture in order to freeze something solid

180
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 2: in your you know, home freezer. So that means that

181
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 2: for every like cup of non booze liquid you can

182
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 2: add about three ounces. It's about two standard shots of

183
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 2: standard forty ish proof alcohol. Just FYI, I'm not saying

184
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 2: that I have enormous plans for experimenting with such recipes

185
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: over the summer all or at our next D and

186
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 2: D game.

187
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: Hypothetical plans, perhaps I would like to partake hypothetically, and

188
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: these imagined.

189
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 2: Popsicles understood hypothetically.

190
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: Hypothetically, we do have a local popsicle vender, King of Pops,

191
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: and they make pop tails oh yeah, yeah, yeah, which

192
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: are cocktails with popsicles, well pops excuse ice pops ice

193
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: pops inserted in them that sort of.

194
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 2: Like it mils. It melts, Yeah, it melts down into

195
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 2: the cocktail, makes it look and taste quite lovely. It

196
00:11:58,880 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: is very nice.

197
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: One of my favorite things that we had in Atlanta

198
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: Food and Wine was the poptail from Old Fourth or

199
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: Old Pals at Old Fourth Distillery.

200
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 2: It was lovely. It was. While we're shouting things out,

201
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: we should also shout out there's both a brain Stuff

202
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 2: video episode about quiescently frozen confections. Yes, that Josh Clark did,

203
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,719
Speaker 2: and he's some kind of mad genius. I think it's

204
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 2: actually my very favorite video episode of brain Stuff ever.

205
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 2: It's pretty excellent.

206
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

207
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 2: Also mad props to Paul Deckant, who is I'm not

208
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 2: gonna say a mad genius, just regular like the even

209
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 2: keeled genius.

210
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,719
Speaker 1: Very even keel genius. Yeah, he drinks a lot of tea.

211
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 2: He does. Oh man, I respect his hydration. I do

212
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: as well. Oh and another show that we that we

213
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 2: work in conjunction with here at How Stuff Works, How

214
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 2: Stuffy Missed in history class did a whole episode about

215
00:12:53,760 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 2: about good humor versus popsicle ooh yeah, intrigue, very much intrigue.

216
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 2: We're not humorous at all. Oh, I would say not.

217
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 2: We're going to get a little bit into that intrigue,

218
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 2: plus the rest of the history of the popsicle brand

219
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 2: and it's ice, pops ice, pops in general.

220
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 4: Right after a quick break for a word from our sponsor,

221
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 4: and we're back.

222
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: Thank you sponsor, Yes, thank you for I was gonna

223
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 1: say our sanity, but for my sanity, I'm probably just

224
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: gonna use popsicles. Okay, please don't sue me, Popsicle company,

225
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: but you can't send free products.

226
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 2: Oh that's cool.

227
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: Popsicles are pretty new in the scheme of things. It's

228
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: true that in ancient Romes, slaves were tasked with retrieving

229
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 1: ice from way up in the cold mountains and bringing

230
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: back blocks of it that was then crushed up with

231
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: fruits and spices for their masters. Sore raised and freezes

232
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: were observed by Marco Polo and Thomas Jefferson probably made

233
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: the same things, went showing off at Monticello, because of

234
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: course course he did.

235
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 2: Of course he didn't.

236
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 1: But as far as popsicles, popsicles, we're talking nineteen oh five,

237
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: oh wow. As in ce not bce, yeah ce. The

238
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: story goes that an eleven year old boy in San

239
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: Francisco are maybe Oakland, where it was colder because people

240
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: have looked at the temperatures, Frank Epperson forgot his glass

241
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: of powdered drink mix and water. He's trying to make

242
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: his own soft drink good for him, complete with straw.

243
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: Outside overnight, when the sun rose, the kid discovered that

244
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: the whole thing had frozen, and upon licking it, because

245
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: of course you're gonna lick it, he discovered it was delicious.

246
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: Young entrepreneur that he was, he started selling them around

247
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: his neighborhood. In nineteen twenty three, now an adult, Frank

248
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: started selling them around a nearby amusement park called Neptune

249
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: Beach aka the West Coast Coney Island, also the same

250
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: venue that snow Cones debuted. By the way, armed with

251
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: proof that his product was successful, in nineteen twenty five,

252
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: he patented frozen Confection of Attractive Appearance, which can be

253
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: conveniently consumed without contamination by contact with a hand, without

254
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: the need for a plate, spoon, fork, or other implement,

255
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: and began marketing them. He didn't call them popsicles, though

256
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: he called them epsicles, epsicle, I know.

257
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 2: His name, plus icicle.

258
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: It was Frank's kids who started referring to them as

259
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: popsicles because he was their pop.

260
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 2: See. I read a bunch of different origin stories about

261
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 2: the name. I also read that it was because of lollipops,

262
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 2: Oh that makes sense, sickles, or maybe because he wanted

263
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 2: to advertise that they were made of soda pop popsicles.

264
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 2: I probably all three simultaneously. Yeah. Maybe in branching dimensions.

265
00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: We love our branching dimensions at food stuff, we do. Unfortunately,

266
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: Frank had to sell the patent shortly after to Joe

267
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: Lo Co because he was broke. When asked about this later,

268
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: Frank responded, I was flat and had to liquidate all

269
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: my assets.

270
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 2: I haven't been the same since.

271
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 4: Oh wow.

272
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 2: The low co brought the frozen confection into the national spotlight.

273
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: Though at the lolo price of a nickel, these babies

274
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: were a hit. It was marketed as a frozen lollipop.

275
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: It even withstood the Great Depression, in part due to

276
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: the introduction of the two stick popsicle, while maintaining that

277
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: five cents price point.

278
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, share one with your friends two for the

279
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 2: price of one.

280
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: I can't imagine sharing a popsicle like that. I mean, well.

281
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: I mean you break them apart. Oh yeah, that's why

282
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 2: my life.

283
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,359
Speaker 1: I don't have much experience with popsicles.

284
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 2: I've got to say I had a lot of those

285
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 2: freezy pops.

286
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, not straight up popsicles.

287
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 2: Those were not a big thing in my house.

288
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: Clearly Popsicle Peat Popsicle's mascot, as in the company Popsicle

289
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: comes onto the scene in nineteen thirty nine. But confect

290
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 1: a Drama bouns confection Drama and this brings us to

291
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: good Humor did not have a good humor at all.

292
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: Or maybe they did, I don't know. But they came

293
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 1: out with their own product on a stick, chocolate covered

294
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: ice cream, and Lo sued their ass for infringing on

295
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 1: their copyright. The court got them to meet in the middle,

296
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: awarding Low the domain of water based pops and Good

297
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 1: Humor the domain of milk base pops. This, of course,

298
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: was not the end of it. It involved a lot

299
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: of arguments and big questions like what is ice cream, Lauren?

300
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:45,959
Speaker 1: And how does one define sherbet? Anyway, keeps us up

301
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: at night. I know. By World War Two the popsicle

302
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: had become so popular that the eighth Air Force Unit

303
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: picked them as assemble for American Life Popsicles. Fudgickle debuted

304
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: in nineteen forty six. The double stick popsicle went away

305
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty six. So maybe that explains why I

306
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: don't know what to do with it. Flavor ice was

307
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 1: introduced in nineteen sixty nine by Jel Sert. You know,

308
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: those are the things, the popsicles and the plastic tube

309
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: sometimes called freezes.

310
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it doesn't have a stick. You just

311
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 2: kind of cut off the end of the sharp, the

312
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 2: surprisingly sharp plastic tube and you stick it in your face. Yeah.

313
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: They come usually in liquid form and then you freeze them, right.

314
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: And I have conspiracy theory that no matter where you are,

315
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: you have one of these in your freezer somewhere.

316
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 2: We have a lot of them in my freezer actually,

317
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 2: and I'm very confused about why, yes, exactly who bought these?

318
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: When? Why?

319
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 3: How?

320
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 2: Who knows? How long have they been there? Have they

321
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 2: always been there? I don't know. You can get them

322
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 2: in electrolyte sports flavor now did you know that? No?

323
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 2: I did not. Yeah, okay, oh.

324
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: And I love this quote I found about them, the

325
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: cool down choice for cheap skates everywhere.

326
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 2: Dangkay Yeah.

327
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: Their competitor, auto Otter Pops, which is sort of a

328
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: push up pop situation, came onto the market in nineteen seventy.

329
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: Jilsert eventually got the rights to them as well, and

330
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: we mentioned we mentioned them as sort of the impetus

331
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: for the blue Raspberry flavor in our official Flavoring episode.

332
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 2: If you haven't heard that one, want to check it out.

333
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: In nineteen eighty nine, Unilever acquired Popsicle the brand and

334
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: also Good Humor, so that put an end to their

335
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: legal battle that they had going on, but it opened

336
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 1: the door for another very Derby Pie esque legal battle

337
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: to protect the copyright of Popsicle, Capital p the brand.

338
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: It doesn't want to be cleanext or Xerox. Like we

339
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: mentioned the top. In twenty ten, they sued a Brooklyn

340
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,959
Speaker 1: pop maker, People's Pops for a blog post that included Popsicle.

341
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 2: A blog post line, don't don't take their name. That's

342
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 2: their valuable property.

343
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: You know, if I had a name, maybe i'd feel the.

344
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 2: Same way you would. Annie. You have a name, your

345
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 2: your name is Annie Reese, and I'm still waiting for

346
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 2: the Reese's Company. I'm here.

347
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: Oh not yet, I can't, but soon.

348
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 2: Food stuff at has stuffworks dot Com. You guys, I

349
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 2: gotta touch it. I can feel it.

350
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 4: It's on the way.

351
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: Frank Everson died in nineteen eighty three and is now

352
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: part of a food tour in California that also includes

353
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: Domingo Giria Delli Yes Yeah, Yes, of the Chocolate World,

354
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: and our old pal trader Vic oh Vic. Everson is

355
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 1: also featured in a Christian self help book about trusting

356
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: God to help you discover your purpose in life.

357
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, hecky dude.

358
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: Popsicles and crime aside because this is a whole article

359
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: I found.

360
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 2: Okay, so this is not aside from popsicles and crime.

361
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 2: This is an aside on Yes, popsic Okay, it's not

362
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 2: like pops popsycle.

363
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it should be a character in a comic book,

364
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 1: but no, we're talking about popsicles randomly coming up in crime.

365
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 1: They'd been involved in a surprising amount of crime stories,

366
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: and I wasn't necessarily a surprised thanks to all the

367
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: mine trap I used to play at the beach but

368
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: still okay. One such case stems from the summer of

369
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 1: nineteen thirty five, when Philadelphians woke up to this headline

370
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: argues over popsicle vendor is shot. Oh no, this resulted

371
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 1: from a debt. The vendor had a crewed of ten cents.

372
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: When the popsicle vendor couldn't pay up, the loaner demanded

373
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: two popsicles as payment. The vendor disagreed to the terms

374
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: and got a bullet for his trouble. Oh, it was

375
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 1: during the Great Depression, so some sense was a pretty

376
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: big deal.

377
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,239
Speaker 2: Relive. Yeah, I mean, don't shoot anybody. But no, I'm

378
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 2: just saying it's a bigger deal than me.

379
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: Just now. Yes, Yes, a thirteen year old boy who

380
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: ran a Birmingham, Alabama ice cream truck got robbed in

381
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty two, and the culprit sold six dozen ice

382
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,479
Speaker 1: sandwiches and popsicles and four dollars.

383
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 2: Hmm, they were hungry.

384
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: I mean, well, my thing is, how did they not

385
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: melt six dozen ice cream sandwiches?

386
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 2: Anyway?

387
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 1: Take this headline from Los Angeles in nineteen fifty two.

388
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: Parents lose suit over boys popsicle pool row. Yes, there

389
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: was a lawsuit that took eight hours of deliberation from

390
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: the jury. It all started when a young boy showed

391
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: up at the Seminole Hot Springs resort pool with not one,

392
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: but two popsicles and an eleven year old boy on duty,

393
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: and the son of the resort's owner would.

394
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 2: Not stand for it. Nay, he wouldn't allow it.

395
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: The moms of the boys got involved and allegedly threw

396
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 1: popsicles at each other. The mothers, yes, as mature adults do,

397
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 1: they have disagreements, the classic popsicle defense. The parents of

398
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: the popsicle boys sue the resort. The resort for forty

399
00:22:55,600 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars but yeah, no dice. And after chasing

400
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,959
Speaker 1: a teenage bicycling popsicle thief and calling the police, a

401
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: pursuer ended up in trouble with the cops because he

402
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: had no license. The nineteen fifty five Washington DC headline

403
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: was popsicle theft and chase, get victim and police jam.

404
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 2: Oh well yeah.

405
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: After a dozen popsicles were stolen in nineteen seventy five,

406
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: the Hartford Courrent ran with this headline, police hoped to

407
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: lick popsicle mystery.

408
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had to include it. Oh, good job Hartford.

409
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a pun worthy of food stuff.

410
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 2: I don't have anything about popsicle crime, but I will

411
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 2: say that modernly, the popsicle brand does tie ins with

412
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 2: all sorts of other brands. There's a Jawbreaker flavored ice pops,

413
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 2: all kinds of frozen Disney frozen correlated ice pops. Yeah,

414
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 2: it's like it's the whole thing. I just realized how

415
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 2: well it's just obvious finger gunny that is. Yeah, absolutely, yeah,

416
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:09,479
Speaker 2: totally clear. Uh, you know, Despicable Me stuff like that.

417
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 2: The minions, yeah, bright yellow. I don't know what flavor

418
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 2: they are, minion flavored. That doesn't sound.

419
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 1: They're banana because they love bananas.

420
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 2: Oh okay, there you go.

421
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: I see many animated foom perfect.

422
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 2: Uh. And this brings us to the science of creating

423
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 2: at a large scale popsicles or popsicle ied pops the

424
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 2: fear and her eyes. Good job, popsicle company. We're going

425
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 2: to get to that if we're still here. Right after

426
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 2: one more quick break for a word from our sponsor,

427
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 2: and we're back. Thank you, sponsor, Yes, thank you. So

428
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 2: let's say that you're a big company who wants to

429
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 2: make a new flavor of ice pop. Okay, it's it's

430
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 2: a big commitment, even even for a large company like yourself, Annie,

431
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 2: I am a large company. Yes, you've got to. You've

432
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 2: got to create a new mold for it in place

433
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 2: a bulk order, like huge bulk order of wrappers and

434
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 2: sticks that you want to probably specially designed for the

435
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 2: for the case. The mold alone is going to run

436
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 2: you around sixty thousand dollars ooh uh, and and the

437
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 2: design and marketing might be another forty thousand. So it's expensive.

438
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 2: But once you've got those things, the manufacturing process goes

439
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 2: like this. You're going to mix up a base of sugars, stabilizers, texturizers,

440
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 2: and water which can be sent out to different vats

441
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,360
Speaker 2: to have different flavors and colors added. The mixtures are

442
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 2: cooled to just above freezing so that they can still

443
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 2: be pumped and pored easily, because you've got to pump

444
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 2: them across your factory and send the mixture straight to

445
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 2: the molds. The mold machines can carry like two hundred

446
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 2: to three hundred strips of stainless steel molds, and the

447
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 2: whole thing is capable of producing about fourth housand, three

448
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty ice pops per hour WOO or up

449
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 2: to twice that many, depending on the speed and efficiency

450
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 2: of your machine, because there has to be a rinse

451
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 2: and sanitized cycle in between each batch, and you might

452
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 2: have multiple machines, like five machines on your line. These

453
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 2: filled molds on once you pump your mix into them,

454
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 2: they're going to pass through a long tank filled with

455
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 2: a salt brine that's cooled to like negative twenty five

456
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 2: to thirty degrees fahrenheit, that's about negative thirty two degrees celsius.

457
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,199
Speaker 2: And the tank is maybe about twenty feet long, and

458
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 2: over the course of this journey through the tank, the

459
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 2: pops will freeze up, with the center solidifying during that

460
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 2: last three to four feet Right before that point. Therefore,

461
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 2: when the pop liquid is just frozen enough to support

462
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 2: a stick, an injector pushes in the stick. Once it

463
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 2: totally frozen, a warming tank will heat the outside of

464
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 2: the molds just enough to let the pops release, and

465
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 2: then they are dropped into their individual baggies, held open

466
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 2: by gusts of air. Wow, it's a beautiful popsicle symphony.

467
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 2: It's a beautiful ice pop symphony. Sometimes conducted by the

468
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 2: brand popsicle. There you go. That's Clear's day. It is

469
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 2: so much better ways say it out loud.

470
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: I'll try to keep that in mind.

471
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 2: I have a history.

472
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: There's a long lost promo video, a food stuff promo video.

473
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 2: We'll still post it someday. We should. It was fun.

474
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 2: We got to have a food fight. It was great.

475
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:46,479
Speaker 1: But I could not pronounce quiescently and Laurence juggling and

476
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: I keep rude, and I have a popsicle in my hand.

477
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 2: It's melt melting, and we don't have a backup popsicle.

478
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: No, because we're fools, and thought I'd be able to

479
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 1: pronounce quiescently, which now I can do.

480
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 2: At the time in the moment, it was stressful. It

481
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 2: was very stressful. I think I think I only ruined

482
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 2: shots by missing a juggle, like maybe only four times.

483
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had such big plans for that video, and

484
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: we were the ones that were like, we're gonna have

485
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: juggling and a popsicle and the thing I'm seeing and

486
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: we're gonna be walking and.

487
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 2: The whole thing. Yeah, at least you weren't on roller

488
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 2: blades in the initial version of the script. You were

489
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 2: like I have to be on roller blades and I

490
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 2: have to be eating this popsicle and you have to

491
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 2: be juggling, and that's what it's going to do. And

492
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 2: then there was gonna be a Confaniti canyon at the end.

493
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 2: Canon a confetti cannon.

494
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, not canyon, although Kenyon, if that sounds fun, Yeah,

495
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: I do that too. And that brings us to the

496
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: end of this classic episode. We hope that you enjoyed

497
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: it as much as we enjoyed rerunning it. Bringing it

498
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: back it certainly brought back memories for me of the

499
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: difficulties of pronunciation of our video that we did as discussed.

500
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,680

Speaker 2: were getting married. Their wedding was at one of the

506
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 2: family's homes, and we heard the ice cream truck after
