Thanks! One reason I dislike them is that there are assorted flavors in the
box. No matter what kind I buy, there is always that one flavor nobody
likes. Grape is one such flavor.

I currently have a box of 24, previously I had a box of 12, the flavors that
come in each of those are orange, cherry, grape. I didn't think I would
like the grape but actually it's fine.

We all like the cherry, but not much else. Nobody will eat the grape at
all. Grape used to be my favorite flavor as a child. But I was very ill as
a teen and unable to keep anything down. The Dr. told my mom to give me
whatever I wanted to drink so I wouldn't get dehydrated. I wanted grape
juice. The purple stuff. It tasted so good, I swigged down the big glass
she gave me and up it came. Since then just the smell of anything grape
puts me off.

thats a migraine for me, bummer, popcicles are one of the very few frozen
thngs i do like, Lee
