Found New Diet Popsicles

[BeckyinTexas 3]

Today while shopping at my local Wal-Mart, I saw from a distance sugar-free Diet Dr. Pepper, Diet A&W Rootbeer and Diet Orange Crush Popsicles. Well, I couldn't push my cart over there quick enough to read the ingredients label and sure enough....carbonated Water wasn't listed! I threw that box, along with 3 more, into my cart and headed for checkout. I barely made it to the car before I opened the box and grabbed a diet Dr. Pepper popsicle....heaven on a stick!!!! I hadn't had even a sip of carbonated drinks since the night before my surgery a little over a year ago but let me tell you....I miss my diet Dr. Pepper something fierce still! Someone can open a can and the smell just makes me nuts! But these popsicles are SOOOOOO good that I can't even tell you! With my luck, they'll quit making them but I see a new addiction ahead for me as long as Wal-Mart carries them! And only 15 calories each one! My day has been made!

Shoot!! I forgot to look tonight while I was at Wal-Mart....too worried about Mother's Day cards I guess. :phanvan

I made a visit to the bariatric floor after my pre-op class and one of the nurses told me about these banana flavored pops they use. I guess their by Blue Bunny and sugar free. They can't keep them in stock b/c they go so fast. I haven't been able to find them here yet, but I know the Indy area has them. Has anyone heard of them or tried them? They sound sooo good!! :hungry:

Looky here.....I just found them. HOLY COW....I've got to find these.....http://www.bluebunny.com/ProductDetail.aspx?currentcategoryid=44&productId=162

Although Diet Coke ran in my veins, I loved to switch to Diet Dr. Pepper for a refreshing new taste. When I was a little, well young girl, I was never little, Dr. Pepper was only sold in the mountians of VA. So when we'd go to "Grandma's" house, I couldn't wait to get my special treat, a bottled Dr. Pepper, in the cooler that looked like a big casket on legs, filled with ice and Water, the only way to keep them cold back then.

OK, now I'm really telling my age, LOL, can't wait to try it on a stick.

Do they have splenda in them? If not what is the sugar substitute? ~Mandy

Banana Pops! Yummy! thats what they served me at the hospital . I sent my family out searching for them when I got home ! I think I know one store that sells them but it an hour away! It will be a treat when we go out to the beach for labor day weekend.

I called Wal-Mart today and spoke with the ordering mgr (not sure their title) about these banana pops. They have to be on an approved list by the vendor so he took down the info and is going to contact the vendor to see if they can get them in. I told him it would be a HUGE market for them!! Tomorrow I'm going to call more stores to see if they will start carrying them.....those boogers are hard to find and I WANT one!!

Mandy ~ They are sweetened with sugar. One Bar has 7 grams. Is that a deal breaker? I would think they would be O.K. since they use them in the hospital. Since I'm preband, I don't know.

I get horible Migraines from Equal and Sweetn'Low, I am ok with Slpenda and sugar is fine. I will look for them on Monday (grocery day) Mandy
