Push Pop 'Cherry' (with little devil topper)

Topps

It's funny; I've never tried a "push pop" before in my life. Sometimes I'll post reviews of treats that I'm surprised that I've never reviewed, but it's rare that a treat goes by that I don't at least sample. It's even more rare that a treat that's been around for a while goes by without even a sampling. So when I was searching for a treat for Valentines Day, and I saw this little guy I figured it was a perfect opportunity.

If I had to describe push pops it would be to say that basically you cross lipstick with a lollypop. It's a pretty good idea because since it's retractable and since it has a lid, if you don't finish it in one go you can save it for later without any chance of hair or dust getting into it. The little devil guy riding a skateboard on the top doesn't do much for the treat... well at all. He pretty much just looks glued on for the sake of making this treat festive.

The lollypop itself if pretty tasty. I'm a big fan of fake cherry flavours. I think it's because they often have a little bit of sour mixed in. It gives a little variety to the treats flavour. It's not a spectacularly different treat by any means (other than the whole lipstick design) but it's pretty tasty and great if you just want a little taste of something. It's like a lollypop without commitment.
