We eat well. We cook. We grow vegetables. We even bake our own bread. However, I feel called out by this in that my hot summer evening splurge are those flavorice popsicles in the plastic tubes. I don’t even gravitate to sugar or trash food generally, but those things hit the spot in the heat of summer.
Pedialyte (electrolyte drink aimed at sick kids) comes in freezer tubes and they're awesome when you're over-hot and dehydrated.
Yes, but those probably don’t taste like childhood.
They're pretty sweet, but also salty. Very tasty, like frozen sugar free Gatorade. (because real sugar+sick kid=bathroom sadness)
