Alfred Prufrock measured out his life in coffee spoons. I measure mine in Zooper Doopers. Motivated by this long hot summer (and childhood nostalgia), I’ve become addicted (although at 20c a pop, a freeze-your-own-popsicle habit is hardly debilitating). But which to choose? Funny Faces are defunct. “Healthy” fruit juice ices are a ruse.
So go for “The Coolest Taste in the Universe”. The Dooper dudes reinforce that big claim with even bigger flavour names: Galactic Grape, Deep Space Lime…There are different flavours in the boy pack and the girl pack (call me a chauvinist, but go for Zooper Boy – his Space Pineapple easily trumps Zooper Girl’s Beaming Banana). Hey Mr Prufock – enough with the coffee – have a drag from my Fairy Floss Forcefield!
SixThousand loves Zoopers. Drop by the SixThousand markets at this Saturday’s Laneway Festival and choose your favourite flavour (Florence loves Red Rocket while N.A.S.A. commend Bubblegum Quasar).
