Ice pops* should come with some sort of mini umbrella or special drip cup for managing all the melting. Ice-cream cones at least slow down the drippiness via the cone’s rugged terrain, allowing for quick, last-minute cleanup licks. But ice pops are a war of attrition.
This is one of the inane topics I brought up while chatting with Megan Janes of Seattle Pops, the one-stop ice-pop shop currently found at farmers markets, grocery stores, and various other locations throughout the city that will soon get its own brick-and-mortar shop (1401 N 45th St) in Wallingford.
“We do have some ideas on how to help that, some drip-guard-type things,” Janes offered. “Some moms at the farmers markets have been creating their own little drip trays.”
