In the Race
Now, here, you see, it takes all the blogging I can do to keep in the same place.
If I want to get somewhere else, I must blog twice as fast as that!
You see, I'm in

Last night I was watching the show “Unwrapped” out of the corner of my eye. Have you ever seen the show? It’s pretty interesting. It tells you how certain foods were manufactured.
One food caught my attention. I had never heard of it before. Being a girl who grew up eating a lemon a day as a snack…yes, I said it (my family liked lemons, and fresh rhubarb too…with salt on it (no, not sugar) I thought this sounded interesting. But actually it would be too sour for even the likes of me. This product comes out of Texas.
Pickle Pops Frozen Pickle Juice Treats Combine Popular Taste & Health Benefits. Pops proving popular as fundraising product for schools and sports teams.
www.bobspicklepops.com ( Seguin , Texas ) -- It's an increasingly popular novelty snack treat that may sound a bit hard to swallow. But Bob's Pickle Pops pickle juice treats are growing in popularity nationally and providing unexpected health benefits for kids, adults and seniors alike. They are uniquely packaged frozen treats made, not from just the brine left over from pickling, but from freshly squeezed pickles, much like an apple or orange is pressed. The USDA was so intrigued by the distinctive frozen "vegetable" product they granted Bob's Pickle Pops their blessings to distribute them to the schools across the country. "We use 100% of the pickle," says Bob's Pickle Pops Co-Founder David Millar . "We realize it is hard to imagine that someone thought of the idea of creating a frozen treat made from pickle juice," he says. "But once people try them they are hooked – and we are happy to supply them with this refreshing treat." The product was created by John Howard owner of Outerskate roller skating rink and arcade in Seguin , Texas . He has been freezing pickle juice for the kids and adults and sells out every night. Surprised by the sales, he decided there was a market worth investigating. The company is also creating flavored offerings such as Spicy Pickle Pops that are proving to be very popular. The company is also catering to the cravings of expectant mothers with this unique sour snack. But it isn't just to quench the craving, it is to provide the heretofore little-known health benefits of pickle juice for anyone from kids to pregnant women to diabetics.
Well, if kids and adults get used to eating Pickle Pops, I can see them stop eating them eventually for the reason I stopped eating lemons. All that acid is a good way to lose the enamel off of your teeth! It's amazing what people can come up with to sell though.
