With lockdowns in place and various restrictions on movement because of the coronavirus pandemic, going to the supermarket is not as fun as it used to be as you needed to focus on the essentials.
Not only that, but any disruption in the supply chain might also see your favorite treat out of stock anyway.
In that case, the shopper starts to feel more like a tribute at the Hunger Games more than anything else.
Fortunately, Costco has your back and has brought back their famous 100-calorie boozy popsicles meaning you’ll need to make space in your freezer.
Slim Chiller‘s boozy ice pops “Skinny Freezers” have only 100 calories while having 8 percent alcohol per pop. That means you can get that much-needed buzz while getting your icy treat at the same time. And to the delight of many, Delish reported that they’re back in store shelves.
An Instagram user called Costco Connoisseur made the delightful discovery and posted a pic accordingly. “Available at Costcos in: Oregon, Texas, & Virginia,” they said.
Fans have even more reason to celebrate because Slim Chiller’s creator Phil Hurley said that the alcoholic frozen treats now come in more new flavors such as orangeberry mimosa, peach mango bellini, and blackberry pomegranate sangria for some guilt-free icy goodness.
Hurley adds that he had the impetus to invent the pops because while he loved daiquiris, margaritas, and vodka martinis, he didn’t like how they made him feel.
“Even after just a few fruit margaritas, I always happened to notice my bellybutton inching further away from your spine, and my pants starting looking like leggings,” he said. “My primary goal was not to eliminate the sugar, but lower it to a point where you could still enjoy your cocktail, but with a lot less guilt.”
The company’s website states that every pop is made with “premium 8-times distilled, charcoal filtered vodka.” So far, BevMo stores, several local liquor stores in California, and select Costco stores in California, Arizona, Nevada, and Colorado, all carry the product. If you’re not located in any of these areas, you can order online at Hi-Time wine in 12-packs.
