Remember Baby bottle pops
Tapping into the nostalgia today. Do you remember baby bottle pops?
Baby Bottle Pop, Baby Bottle Pop. You can lick it, shake it and dunk it.
This is the month of candy and candy is all the rage this time of year. Since you know just in case you've been asleep the past 15 days, But its October, halloween is in 16 days. I'm not even sure how this candy even popped in my mind while I was on the toilet but it did. And that's why we are here.
This sweet treat came out back in 1998. But Since I am a 2000 something kid. I will say this candy did not hit its stride and peak till mid 2000's. And Mid 2000's is probably one of the last times I actually had one. I Never knew watermelon was an option all these years and it's not like a late addition either watermelon and cherry are the OG's that started it all. I love watermelon candy so I for sure would of gone watermelon if I knew it existed and was at Walgreens/ in my halloween bag or Dominick's, right there before the check out.
[Also holy cow Dominick's what another throw back not blog worthy entirely, since you know its a grocery store as a kid and you hated going.]
My fondest memory of Baby Bottle pop has to be when I took one to the Sox game, when I was maybe like 6 no older then 7. It get's expensive going to the baseball game even do we got free tickets all the time. But when you got Me and two snot nosed siblings [3] it get expensive having to buy three cotten candies or three cracker jacks 3 red ropes. So what do you do stop at the store say one candy and like an idiot I went small with a blue baby bottle pop. That's one of my only memories with Baby bottle pops. The only reason why I went baby bottle pop because of my other memory of the candy the commercials.
You try and tell me the commercials did not work. Your watching Saturday morning cartoons in their dying years. The era of "illegal" or the hey day of the looked down upon process of targeting kids with Toys/Kid things/kid places/ junk food commercials.
I want you to tell me after you say one of these three commercials the jingle of
Baby Bottle Pop, Baby Bottle Pop. You can lick it, shake it and dunk it.
Was not stuck in your head the rest of the day and did not make you want to go out and beg your parents to let you get one.
