Popsicles are a great treat to kick back and enjoy on a hot summer day. Unfortunately, not all children, or even adults, can consume the vast array of popsicles due to food allergies.

In comes Zipzicles, the portable, do-it-yourself ice-pop bag. Zipzicles are not a food product; they are resealable bags that hold one-third cup of liquid. The result is a highly customizable frozen treat experience that is great for both children with allergies and parents who are health-conscious.

In fact, food allergies are where WizCo LLC got the inspiration to make the first Zipzicle. Owner Shawna Palmer’s son Luke was allergic to foods with strong dyes. WizCo is a true family affair, with Palmer’s husband Murray Greenwood and Luke’s brother Trevor Greenwood also involved in the day-to-day operations of the company.

A Zipzicle can be filled with your choice of ingredient by using either a funnel or baster. After they are sealed, WizCo suggests that you place them upright in your freezer.

Being resealable, Zipzicles can be reused, but it really depends whether you want to go through the hassle of cleaning them after every use.

Zipzicles are very portable, staying frozen in an iced cooler, in addition to their travel-easy design, making them good for children’s parties and events.

While they are considered safe due to their lack of a stick and are ultra kid-friendly, a Zipzicle can be a lot of fun for adults too. Try filling them with your favorite frozen alcoholic beverages for your next summer get-together. Of course, just be sure to keep the adults-only pops out of reach of little hands.

Zipzicles are $2.99 for 12 bags. Get recipes and find out where to buy them at www.zipzicles.com.
