Bubble Gum Flavors

Bubble Gum is a type of gum especially popular with kids because it’s a gum especially suited to blowing bubbles – hence the name!!  Bubble gum comes in a variety of flavors – all artificially flavored or course.

What are the origins of bubble gum?

Bubble Gum was created in the 1920’s by a company in the United States. The name of the original bubble gum was called Dubble Bubble.

Flavor of Sprite Lemon

Sprite is a soft drink known for its lemon flavor – it is similar to 7-UP, and one of it’s competitors in the lemon-flavored soft-drink market.  It is one of the few cola’s that are caffeine-free (no need to buy a separate caffeine-free version).  Sprite has a refreshing lemon flavor that makes it particularly popular in summer.

Snow Cone Flavor Syrups

Looking for flavored syrups for snow cones? From Bubble Gum to Cola you can find all kinds of flavors for snow cones. Your job is to sort through the varieties to find one that you want to taste.

The most common flavors you will find for household use at your local store is probably cherry and grape flavoring. You can also find great inexpensive snow-cone makers or machines at your local store for a pretty great deal. These machines come in handy during the summertime when kids get too hot and there is a need for a “cool down.”

Kids are not the only one who love shaved ice! Adults love it too!

Picnic Food Ideas

Picnic food ideas can be pretty simple or very complex depending on how involved you would like to get. Everyone probably knows the basics, sandwich meat, bread, and chips; this is probably the most basic picnic food setup you can conjure up. And there is nothing wrong with that sandwiches are good!

A way to make those same ol’ sandwiches a little more interesting is to upgrade some of the ingredients for your outdoor adventure. First thing I would do for the picnic idea is upgrade the bread. Go to the bakery department of your grocery store and choose a nice fresh bread  instead of the old bagged white or wheat bread you find down the aisle. Most bakery departments have a selection of breads to choose from, for example sour dough, once you select the bread ask them to cut it for you. They will be more than happy to cut your bread loaf into individual slices. If you don’t want to or have time to wait on them try grabbing a fresh bag from the same department. They usually have fresh bags of bread rolls or hoagies types and other selections.

The next picnic upgrade idea is to choose your meat and your condiments. Aside from those you can pick out different “toppings” to go along with your sandwich. The best thing to do would be to look up a nice recipe, but if you are willing to try something new for your outing you will find several choices to choose from.

Try artichoke hearts! On the sandwich artichoke hearts from a jar can be very good! Be careful which meat your pair it with though I have never tried them with bologna but just be aware of the “normal” sandwich meats these ingredients are paired with. Olives from a jar are another good topping to add more flavor and mushrooms can go with many different varieties of meat.

Some “sides” to choose from could be pickles and chips. When you choose the chips try getting something you normally don’t get, maybe try a gourmet chip. It will add to your adventure!
