If it were ever warm in SF, I’d totally buy this: Zoku Quick Pop Maker

Media_httpecximagesam_gudnj

Quickly make striped pops, yogurt pops or (for the first time ever at home) flavored core pops. To enjoy Quick Pops at a moment’s notice, simply store the compact base in your freezer. The kit includes six durable, reusable plastic pop sticks that have unique ridged designs that allow pops to adhere securely, with special drip guards for tidy eating. A specially designed Super Tool helps to quickly release the frozen treats from their molds. The unit can make up to 9 pops before refreezing the unit again. Includes 1 Quick Pop Maker, 6 sticks, 6 drip guards, and 1 Super Tool.

This is a pretty cool little popsicle maker.  You can create your own in less than 7 minutes and it requires no electricity. I would make a bunch of bizarre flavors with this like split pea soup and beet root beer. If only it weren’t so damned cold in San Francisco…
