I can push a Push Pop, can you push a Push Pop?

I remember these Push Pops being advertised at us very cynically during children’s TV shows so much that my mates and I all rushed out to the shops to buy them.

We soon learned that Push Pops tasted pretty horrible and also, probably owing to a ludicrously high sugar content combined with the world’s second stickiest substance known to man – the ten year old’s spit – that the Push Pop would become useless once you’d had a go on it and pushed the pop back in for later.

Push Pops would then form an unbreakable bond with the inside of the plastic packaging. All you would then get from your Push Pop when you pushed on it was a gooey substance, which my friends christened “ectoplasm” (which they stole from Ghostbusters).

All in all a resounding success – we kept buying them despite their being of questionable nutritional benefit to us. Turkey Twizzlers? Kids nowadays need a reality check if they think they have cornered the not-so-good-for-you food market.
