I ate those when I was pregnant. But... I believe they contain sorbitol or
another sugar alcohol and that is a problem for me. Plus I don't usually
like frozen things. However, we were living on Cape Cod when I was pregnant
and it got very hot and humid there during the summer. I used to get some
frozen pops called Trix. They had three flavors to them. I remember
sitting out on our patio in the shade of the evening and eating those things
trying to cool off. Then when my husband came home (he was out to sea), I
demanded an air conditioner.

We bought a small window unit, put it in the spare bedroom and I just moved
in there. Too bad we couldn't get it to work in this house. There have
been times when it would have been nice.
