No, not black people you racist bastard! I'm talking about wooden tongue depressors. When I was little I had to get strep throat tests a lot. Well it seemed like a lot, probably was like 2 times. Anyways, they hold your tongue down with that wooden depressor, then take a swipe which gags you. Fun stuff. So I can't even enjoy a fudsicle or creamsicle without giving myself the willies (of course that doesn't ever stop me from enjoying their frosty goodness). And don't even get me started on those small icecream cups where they give you the wooden stick to eat it with. Is a plastic spoon so expensive?

Happy first day of spring. Enjoy a popsicle for me.
