Remember those plastic tube shaped popsicles they sold outside the schools? 50 paise a piece and 1 rupee for the longer one that was cut into halves? We fondly called them "Pepsi". Although I wonder, why they were called Pepsi in the first place!
I somehow had very little fetish for the ice colored popsicles. But I couldn't resist the flavored milk ones! Those were my favorites. I remember boys in my class tearing off the the ends of the plastic and using it to spray the water over each other at recess. Haha. It was ridiculous fun!
At my school we were divided into "sections". There was always a constant tussle between Section A (where I belonged) and Section B boys. Often over someone sprinkling colored water off these tubes on a random girl's skirt ;-)
After savoring the popsicles the boys would promptly roll it and inflate them with air only to make loud noises off them while deflating them. Oh the sort of stuff that made us instantly happy (only to be ruined by this Facebook-ridden online world)
On one of holidays to India, I was uber surprised to see a dedicated "Ice gola" shop setup a block from my home. And I was more surprised to see my dad taking a dig at it. From when did he start loving this stuff? When I was a kid I was strictly warned to keep off them due to health hazards (bad water = jaundice, the Indian parents preached then.) It also reminds me how this picture (below) got viral where it was cleverly named "Gogola" in google colors. Ha! Legendary stuff.
Someone build a time traveling machine. Please.
