Today while shopping at my local Wal-Mart, I saw from a distance Sugar-Free Diet Dr. Pepper, Diet A&W Rootbeer and Diet Orange Crush Popsicles. Well, I couldn't push my cart over there quick enough to read the ingredients label and sure enough....carbonated water wasn't listed! I threw that box, along with 3 more, into my cart and headed for checkout. I barely made it to the car before I opened the box and grabbed a diet Dr. Pepper popsicle....heaven on a stick!!!! I hadn't had even a sip of carbonated drinks since the night before my surgery a little over a year ago but let me tell you....I miss my diet Dr. Pepper something fierce still! Someone can open a can and the smell just makes me nuts! But these popsicles are SOOOOOO good that I can't even tell you! With my luck, they'll quit making them but I see a new addiction ahead for me as long as Wal-Mart carries them! And only 15 calories each one! My day has been made!

I am jumping in the car & heading to Walmart right now!! They sound absolutely yummy!!! Thanks for sharing!

heya yep they sound very yummy gonna check Wal Mart !! thanks !

Sounds like a good alternative to carbonated beverages to me...but don't get to carried away!!! LOL!!! I'll have to try those on my next walmart trip!!!

Do they make them in Diet Coke?

If we were not expecting a bad storm any minute I would be out the door right now. Boy do I miss soda! I will for sure hit the Walmart right after work tomarrow. Thanks for the great news,Kim

Shoot!! I forgot to look tonight while I was at Wal-Mart....too worried about Mother's Day cards I guess. :phanvan

I made a visit to the bariatric floor after my pre-op class and one of the nurses told me about these banana flavored pops they use. I guess their by Blue Bunny and sugar free. They can't keep them in stock b/c they go so fast. I haven't been able to find them here yet, but I know the Indy area has them. Has anyone heard of them or tried them? They sound sooo good!! :hungry:

Looky here.....I just found them. HOLY COW....I've got to find these.....http://www.bluebunny.com/ProductDetail.aspx?currentcategoryid=44&productId=162

Although Diet Coke ran in my veins, I loved to switch to Diet Dr. Pepper for a refreshing new taste. When I was a little, well young girl, I was never little, Dr. Pepper was only sold in the mountians of VA. So when we'd go to "Grandma's" house, I couldn't wait to get my special treat, a bottled Dr. Pepper, in the cooler that looked like a big casket on legs, filled with ice and Water, the only way to keep them cold back then.

OK, now I'm really telling my age, LOL, can't wait to try it on a stick.

Do they have splenda in them? If not what is the sugar substitute? ~Mandy

I was just as excited when I found them! I was like yes something new!!! They are wonderful!

Banana Pops! Yummy! thats what they served me at the hospital . I sent my family out searching for them when I got home ! I think I know one store that sells them but it an hour away! It will be a treat when we go out to the beach for labor day weekend.

Ooo Yummy, going to get some of those banana pops for post - op at home

I called Wal-Mart today and spoke with the ordering mgr (not sure their title) about these banana pops. They have to be on an approved list by the vendor so he took down the info and is going to contact the vendor to see if they can get them in. I told him it would be a HUGE market for them!! Tomorrow I'm going to call more stores to see if they will start carrying them.....those boogers are hard to find and I WANT one!!

Mandy ~ They are sweetened with sugar. One bar has 7 grams. Is that a deal breaker? I would think they would be O.K. since they use them in the hospital. Since I'm preband, I don't know.

I get horible migraines from Equal and Sweetn'Low, I am ok with Slpenda and sugar is fine. I will look for them on Monday (grocery day) Mandy

Oh good Mandy.....I was a little concerned about the sugar thing. Let us know if you can find them and where. :biggrin1:

I finally found the banana popsicles and they are wonderful! There are two foods that I HATE with a passion and they are celery and bananas! But for some reason that I can't figure out, reading about these banana popsicles made me want them so I thought what the heck if I don't like them I can give them to my little neighbor girls. But oh my, they are so good. I just might have to narrow down my list now to only hating celery unless of course someone comes up with celery popsicles and I just have to try them and end up loving them, too!
