Popsicle Prize Pack Review and Giveaway-5 Winners!

~~The giveaway is now CLOSED~~

Popsicle® is a brand I grew up with. Their products filled my summer memories with cool sensations and colorful flavors. I can hardly tell you enough of how much personal meaning the brand has for me. Just think about their inspiring slogan: If It’s Popsicle®, It’s Possible! I got really excited when Popsicle® offered me the opportunity to sample their newest product--Jolly Rancher™ ice pops!

Popsicle® Jolly Rancher™ ice pops are not only colorful and flavorful, they are also quite healthy. At 45 calories, each pop is made with 10% fruit juice, is fat free, and provides 10% of the daily value for vitamin C per serving. Each 20-pack includes 10 pair of pops, each coming in four flavors in four color-coded layers: Blue Raspberry, Cherry, Grape and Sour Apple. This is the first time my son has tried an ice pop. He's absolutely fascinated by its interesting look and rich fruity flavors. He started to ask for a popsicle instead of yogurt during snack time. He usually got a green light when we came back home from outside. Who can resist a cute child's request for a delicious summer treat that even adults (including myself) crave for?

On the stick of each Jolly Rancher™ ice pop, there is a riddle with its answer hidden under the colorful ice pop. Older kids may have fun trying to resolve the riddle while gulping down their frozen treat. In fact, this bonus feature could make you eligible to win some great prizes! You'd better start collecting these cute sticks now.

To make the Summer of 2010 one to remember, Popsicle® is giving away three grand-prize family trips to dig for dinosaurs in Wyoming, dive with dolphins in Florida and explore the universe by going to Space Camp® in Huntsville, Ala. From now through September 30, 2010, you can enter the Anything's Possible Sweepstakes for your chance to win the grand prize trips and the daily prize, the National Geographic Kids™ “Big Book of Fun”.

I also received a copy of the Big Book of Fun for review. As you can see from its cover, the book is filled with colorful pictures, fun games, trivia tests, and lots of activities to keep kids engaged for hours. You can request a FREE copy of the book if you buy any four participating kids products or download the Small Book of Fun for free here.

In addition to the Anything's Possible Sweepstakes, Popsicle® is also hosting a Stick Joke Contest on Twitter. Simply submit a kid-friendly joke to the Popsicle® Twitter page  for a chance to have your joke included on a Popsicle® stick or on http://www.popsicle.com. See official rules here.

Popsicle® has partnered with National Geographic Kids™ on the "Slow the Melt" campaign, which encourages kids to take easy steps to help slow the melt of the polar ice caps. As a reward, kids may play four new fun games in the Slow Melt Game Zone. Between now and August 15, 2010, Popsicle® will donate $1, up to $25,000, to the National Geographic™ Polar Fund for every Tweet containing the hashtag #SlowTheMelt. Funds raised will support research and exploration efforts of the polar ice caps and global warming issues. Thank you in advance for contributing to this great cause with a simple tweet.
