I was trying to think of what to blog about. Not because I don’t have any ideas but because I have so many that I have to choose something. So I decided to tell the story about the Popsicle that I got in Gilroy. Enjoy

About 3 or 4 years ago I was in Gilroy visiting relatives and after sitting in God knows who’s house for an hour and a half I’m hot, tired, and thirsty. So when were leaving and moving on to the next house an ice cream guy just happens to be pushing his little cart down the sidewalk right next to our car. Upon seeing it my Grandpa turns to me and asks me if I want a Popsicle. Since it was 100+ degrees I couldn’t say no. So the guy opens up his cart thing and I grab a Popsicle that looks good. It was red and yellow so I thought it would be Cherry and Pineapple… Boy was I wrong.

I then get into the car and quickly open up the Popsicle and licked it. Almost immediately my mouth starts to burn. I couldn’t really taste anything so I kept licking it and my mouth kept getting hotter. The Popsicle was one of the nastiest things I had ever tasted. It was spicy! I looked at the wrapper and in almost invisible ink I saw the flavor: Cucumber and Chili… So I gagged a little bit and then proceeded to put the Popsicle back into the wrapper. When we got to the next house I stepped out of the car onto a dirt driveway and threw the Popsicle onto the ground. The family’s dog ran up, sniffed the Popsicle and took a lick, then ran away with it’s tail between it’s legs. No joke. It was by far the nastiest Popsicle I’ve ever heard of. I didn’t even know you could make a Popsicle out of cucumbers or chili! I mean who thinks “Wow it’s hot out… I wish I had something spicy yet cool to refresh myself. And what the hell why not add some greens to make it nutritious!I got it! Cucumber and Chili Popsicles!”

Anyways that’s my story about the Gilroy Popsicle. If you know me you may already have heard that but since most of you probably don’t I though I should share it.
