Loco Pops!
Today I am wrapping up, what has turned out to be a great week (3 days) in North Carolina. I got some fantastic work done, and while I was here I was able to hang out with my cousin Christine and her most excellent husband Mike. I also able to sample a North Carolina new business called Loco Pops.
This great idea is as simple as it comes. They make ice pops. That's it. They are cheap(ish), the store is barren, but clean and bright, and the store employee sits in a lawn chair behind the coolers when no one is ordering (which isn't often).
The hook here is that they don't just make ice pops, but they make AMAZING ice pops in fantastic flavors. Over the last three days I have tried, Avacado, Chocolate Banana, Strawberry Banana, Tamarind, Chocolate Lavendar, Pomagranate Orange and some others.
Don't worry, I didn't have that many whole pops, but I tasted them when others had them (mostly people I know). Today I am taking the sales rep I am working with, and a customer there as a desert treat after going out to lunch. :)
If you are in the Chapel Hill or Durham area this summer, do yourself a favor and go check out one of their locations. Their awesome!
