I have to say my favorite thing to eat on a stick is a toasted marshmallow. Crispy and black on the outside and creamy and white on the inside.

I'm not a huge fan of fruit bars, not a fan of strawberry either (I think I'm slightly allergic). It's kind like…if I'm gonna have dessert than sugar me up (chocolate cake and ice cream) or if I'm going to have fruit then keep it simple (apple please).
Greg! The organic stuff is BS I swear…I mean I know there are benefits and it CAN be better but odds are the way most consumers are getting it's not all its cranked up to be:

I don't care for the Umlaut or the “x” spelling, anytime I see that I'm immediately turned off. Always seems gimmicky to me.
Haha, you need to get Jessica Seinfeld's cookbook Deceptively Delicious to trick your kids into eating veggies

Yay for Edy's….bring on the sugar! ICE CREAM YEAH!!!! I totally want the
Come on…..the whole nature of “on a stick food” is that it's instantly better. Think about it….if you threw that Banquet Stuffed Cabbage or the Liver on a stick it's plus 1-star. It's like bacon….add a stick….add bacon…and you've got a hit on your hands (well….in your hands, 'cause you've got a stick to hold). Name something bad on a stick, or worse sans stick I should say. Realistically I'd say a corndog….or Cotton Candy….anything from the fair…..I've never had the above mentioned chocolate dipped cheesecake on a stick or some of the other amazing sounding things.

Definitely the pancake wrapped around the sausage on a stick; the best breakfast treat ever! Men's shirt please.

Greg,
I'm a little confused. Didn't you say the Fruitstix had 2 gr sugar and the Edy's 0 grams? If so, how can the Edy's be sweeter? Maybe Organic strawberries aren't as sweet?
Shish kabob? Technically a screwer is a stick

Meg,
No the Edy's has 20g of sugar and the FrutStix has 10g.

Favorite thing on a stick… hmmmm… I guess a chocolate covered ice cream bar.

Can't go wrong with barbecued shrimp & scallops on a stick. MMMM. by the way, 71ml = 71gm, so the Edy's (Dreyer's west of the Mississippi) is larger by 15 units. It says 1ml=1gm. http://www.convertunits.com/from/milliliters/to...
I like the women's shirt. I wonder why they're always size large…..

Those ice cream bars from south of the border that have strawberries and cream and sugar are really good. All natural.
I don't have a shirt preference. If it's the men's shirt, I'll wear it. If it's the women's shirt, my wife can have it. I'm not picky.

Re trying to get your kids to eat fruits and vegetable – good luck. No, truly. If you can get them started really, really young, it's amazing how adventurous they can be. We have a friend with a toddler who just turned 2, and she already has an amazing palate.
