High Maintenance Popsicle

Hubby went grocery shopping for me since it looks like rain and he wanted to get everything done. I tend to check stuff out and take more time. I got a call on the phone about substituting my favorite brand with some brand x popsicles. I guess after eleven years of marriage, he is not trying to deal with some surprise wrong brand of popsicles.

Hubby: How about trying some of these store brand or maybe the smoothie flavor?

TJ (thinking, “What the world?”): mmm OK. Are they only 80 calories a popsicle?

Hubby: Yes.

TJ: Ok, what about the ingredient list?

Hubby: Sugar, water, high fruc-

TJ (thinking, “Oh uh uh.. No he did NOT try to bring some high fructose corn syrup brand x up in here, up in here…”): Okay, that’s not healthy, and did you say they used juice CONCENTRATE? You know what? I can wait until later in the week and get them myself. It’s really okay. Really. (thinking, “I said all that with the cheerful voice. Wow.”)

Hubby: That’s ok. I’ll get the regular brand.

TJ: Thanks.

I’m usually not that high maintenance (hubby’s sigh and yeah right inserted here), but my popsicles are serious. They don’t have to be a certain brand, but they have to have the real fruit juice and cane sugar. And 80 calories (unless they are coconut). High fructose corn syrup and I may as well have some real ice cream in the freezer. Shoot. But I am really thankful he called and I didn’t have to cut em in half cause they were too sweet or fatty or anything. I am. Really.
