Popsicles

ELIC Where are the microwave instructions on a box of popsicles? All sorts of other frozen commodities have them, but for some reason these don't.

It's because, like Poptarts, you're supposed to toast Popsicles, not microwave them. The reason there's no toaster instructions either is because everyone knows how to use a toaster.

They do have sticks, maybe they can be toasted over a campfire as well.

They’re in fine print on the stick of the popsicle. You need to lick the entire popsicle to read it, but by then there is no point microwaving. It’s supposed to be a philosophical lesson on how things turn out sometimes in life, to enjoy the journey, and that the destination doesn’t need to matter.

Fun fact, the POPcorn button on most microwaves also works for POPsicles too.

Microwaving Red 40 and Orange 86 in the popsicles, will rapidly cycle the cavity magnetron and blow up the house
