Seven Minutes to Heaven

Zoku Quick Pop Maker

“Hey kids! It’s hot out there! Who wants some water, glycerine, maltodextrin, guar gum, aspartame and a whole bunch of other stuff mommy can’t pronounce?”

Let’s face it, your babies wouldn’t touch that stuff with a ten foot pole – so why tempt them by calling it a “popsicle”?

With the Zoku Quick Pop Maker, you can forget about store-bought pops. The Zoku turns popsicles into a cool craft, so kids will have as much fun creating them as they will eating them. Best of all, you know exactly what’s inside – juice, yogurt, fruit slices, you decide. Just pour your ingredients into the Zoku Quick Pop Maker molds and you’ll be eating pops in about seven minutes.

And if they complain about their tongues not turning magenta, you need only add a dash of Red Dye #40 to the mix.

No. Not seriously.
