Hi! First idea posted. Picture this: you are in a bar, and order a drink. Instead of a frilly umbrella or slice of fruit on a wee sword, you get a colourful freezie in your drink. The flavour could compliment your drink (not beer or wine, most likely). For example, a red cherry flavoured freezie in a
tropical rum drink or a blue raspberry freezie in your zombie - whatever. It would be really cheap and keep your drink cool. I tried it myself (red freezie in a rum and coke) and was impressed enough to run the idea past your generous brains.
I looked around the site for anything similar, but only came up with beer ice-cubes (good idea!).

why can't you have all that stuff? not enough room in the glass - get a bigger glass. croissant for you. |
|
| |
[blissmiss] a freezie is coloured, flavoured, sweetened water in a plastic tube, designed to be frozen, then eaten by pushing up on the bottom of the tube (sort of). Ill add a link. |
|
| |
[po] "get a bigger glass" - now THAT's innovation. |
|
| |
trouble is most of my friends say *smaller*, po. |
|
| |
[ravenswood] It is very like a popsicle without a stick (or sticks). Maybe like an iced-lolly? |
|
| |
Coffee flavoured would be cool. In a cold, alcoholic, coffee-based drink, that is. |
|
| |
They are also called "Otter Pops". The best flavors are red and purple [nod to the recent Kool-Aid post]. |
|
| |
I add my croissant to the baker's dozen I'm sure you'll get here. Something tells me you've got more than beginner's luck going for you. |

Thanks! and thanks for the warm welcome. I hope to live up to your high standards. |
|
| |
think you are wrong 1% - I hope! (2nd thoughts, you are probably right!) |
|
| |
Great idea! I'm wondering if you had in mind putting the freezie in the drink with holes poked in the plastic for a sort of time-release effect.
btw, what does your innovative employer think of this suggestion?
love,

Wonderful idea -- now I've a way to get the kids to tag along to the oasis. Locally, the trick is to put a corked, supercooled, and shooter-fueled test tube into a mixed drink. mmmm |
|
| |
I suppose the next logical step is alcoholic Squishies. |
|
| |
Three words, rank in order of importance:
Squish
Fork
Sprite |
|
| |
What's a squishie? The same as a freezie? |
|
| |
And that would now be a bakers dozen, hopefully you'll get more. Nice first idea, will have to try at some point. |
|
| |
In the Simpsons, a squishie is the same thing as a slurpee, or a slushie. Partially frozen drink, usually soda or fruit flavor. |
|
| |
Honestly, I'm beginning to think that a "new breed" of freezie/Otter Pop would need to be invented to make this work. I've found so far that the flavour of the freezies is pretty strong in a drink. |
|
| |
[econoclast] - no plastic, just pop it in your drink (for bartenders, customer would likely drink faster avoid the freezie melting, and then be ready for another!) |
|
| |
I dont know if i like this yet... Do you think maybe the freezies could be on fire? |
|
| |
Well if they have enough alcohol in them, I suppose so, [bobofthefuture]. But, as we all know, it's hard to get alcohol to freeze, given your normal freezer. At least, where the alcohol level is high enough to burn, I'd imagine. |
|
| |
I have to say that looks like a great drink, in my head! |
