text: I have seen the King of Pops cart at the Davidson Farmers Market for the past few weeks but rainy and cold Saturday mornings do not get me in the mood for a frozen treat Luckily this morning was much nicer and the warm weather left me craving something to help cool off It was the perfect morning to see what exactly the King of Pops has to offer from such a simple staple as ice popsnnThe guy running the cart was very friendly with each group that interacted with him He has a dry erase board in front detailing all the different ice pops he has available ranging from the fruit based to the milk based There was quite the variety and the flavors are more on the gourmet side of the pop spectrum You will not find cherry or grape heretry chocolate sea salt grapefruit hibiscus and earl gray lemonade The iced goodies are a pop and worth every penny Each one is individually wrapped and he will neatly snip the plastic off for you before handing it to you to help reduce the sticky messnnBeing a hot morning I went with the strawberry lemonade which was obviously fruit based You get the chunks of strawberry in it which was awesome and an overall strawberry flavor Not really an artificial flavor but an actual strawberry flavor The lemonade side of it was light and delicate but added a bit of tart to the overall flavor of the pop It was very good but not as great as what the missus gotnnShe got the banana pudding and it was phenomenal It is a milk based pop and it almost reminded me of a pudding pop from when I was a kid You get the banana flavor right off the bat and it was nothing short of awesome sauce in a can Yet you cannot have banana pudding without the Nilla wafers and that is included in the pop I am not talking about chunks of ground up Nillathere is a HUGE GLOB of Nilla wafer right on the stick and the banana pudding pop bases itself around it The combination of that righteous banana flavor along with some mushy Nilla mouthfulls makes this the most tastetacular pop evernnI wish these were cheaper only because I would love to buy a pack so we could feast off them throughout the week is well worth the gourmet pop you get and with tons of flavors that appeal to both kids and adults this is a musthave if you happen across one of the stands While it may be too price to have daily I would be more than willing to spend that weekly to help give me a sugar boost to push through the crowds at the Farmers Market while the sun blazes down upon me I am looking forward to trying all their flavors as the summer progresses
