I just bought a package of Lichee Bang in Chinatown and love them. They're like lichee freeze pops (the label says -- inexplicably -- Yogurt Ice Bar -- though it does have skim milk in it) and while they're deliciously refreshing, I'm not at all sure I'm eating them correctly. I get step 1 on the label -- where I"m supposed to put them in the freezer. Step 2, Okay you break them apart and open...but step 3 has them in a bowl, then being sliced with a knife (can't tell whether that's supposed to be through the rather thick plastic or not). Step 4 shows a glass with a straw and bubbles in it and step 5 shows a pop being snipped with scissors (But why would you need to snip them if you've already broken them open?) My method is to roll them in my palms till they're slushy enough to slip through the opening made when I broke them apart. However you're supposed to eat them, I'm fast becoming addicted in this sultry summer weather. They're so refreshing! And only 52 calories ( I add that humorously...there's the most complete nutritional panel I've ever SEEN on the back...it's by far the most English on the label) Also on the Chinatown circuit, I'm partial to the purple taro popsicles you can find in Thai and Indonesian shops.
