First tip just give it a quick rinse with water since your going to be chewing it in order to crush the ice. What I do is i just remove the tip and then chew the end in order to soften the ice and then it will be easier to slurp it out as for younger kids take it out of the freezer give a quick rinse and let it get soft over the counter that way it will be easier to crush the ice with your teeth. Just don't chew trough the plastic instead use it to crush the ice with your teeth over the plastic. Once you get it going you just squeeze where the middle crimp is to push the rest of the ice up and once again chew on it to crush the ice and slurp it up. Once your done with one half cut it where the crimp is and repeat the process of chewing/ crushing it with your teeth and slurp it up. I guess you could also use a mallet put the ice pop in a kitchen towel and give it a few smacks to soften the ice of course while trying to avoid pricing the plastic but for me its better to crush with my teeth. I like the blue ones and since its currently hot I been craving them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12646230935710433627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014482.post-38553073072328764122015-04-01T00:05:41.616-07:002015-04-01T00:05:41.616-07:00Close your eyes and take a lick of this sweet Roya...Close your eyes and take a lick of this sweet Royal Blueberry Ice pop!
