04/23/2003: The Incredible Hulk’s Incredible Ice Pops.

The incredible hype for the Incredible Hulk rages on with his latest merchandising tie-in — freakin’ fruity freezy-pop FLAVOR-ICE. I was pretty stunned to see his green face stamped on the box, but not too stunned to run away before buying it. There’s like sixty-thousand pops in there - a pretty good bargain for a mere fiver. As far as these kinds of crossovers go, the Hulk Pops are pretty lame. They’re just regular Flavor-Ice sticks with the Hulk’s logo stamped on top. Okay, I’m not sure what else they could’ve actually done, but they’re just not very Hulkish once you get ‘em out of the box. They should’ve at least threatened that some of the pops were radioactive and could cause anyone who ate them to grow big muscles or explode.

The sticks come in their usual flavors - cherry, orange, grape, blah blah blah. The only flavor remotely tied to the Hulk is lime, since it shares his skin color and illustrates the envy he has for superheroes who don’t need to buy new clothes every time they use their powers. I’m going to have Flavor-Ice in my freezer for all of eternity, though. I never got into the purple and orange ones, so the 400 of ‘em are gonna sit in there next to last year’s box of Weaver Chicken Drumettes until I’m dead, if not longer. Apparently, random boxes include various rare Hulk trading cards. I wasn’t one of the lucky winners, so the Lucite super-case that previously housed my ‘91 Upper Deck Griffey Jr. is still without a new champ. Makes me sad. Think I’ll have an ice pop.

As much as I’ve tried, and tried, and tried, I just can’t bring myself to give a rat’s arse(slapped or not) about the Hulk.

all this hulk crap is reminding me of the godzilla crap. we’re gonna be doomed to 5 years of crap laying on shelves. dang.

The grape pops are semi-Hulk related…the Hulk’s pants are usually purple, you know.

Had the US Godzilla actually *been* Godzilla, that stuff might have gone faster.

Personally, I’m interested in seeing this new Hulk movie. I think Spider-Man’s one of the best movies out there, and Daredevil was pretty good. The Marvel hero I’m really waiting for is Iron Man! I like the armored heroes. (Although I wish the comic would bring back someone worth fighting. Tony’s been getting the losers lately. Stop going after Stark and his friends and make with the supervillains already! You’ve got a near-indestructible suit of armor and enough firepower to level a city block! And your fighting a serial murderer and some terrorists that the Taliban would laugh at the same way Psyduck is laughed at by every Pokemon he comes across? What are you thinking, man?)

Matt, you ain’t seen nothingyet. Taco Bell is coming out with green-shelled tacos.

mmmmmhhhmmmm ….. Lou Ferrigno
i mean ….. mmmmhhhhmmm ….. Hulk ….. wait …. mmmhhhhmmmm ….. Lime ….. there u go

When we’ll Marvel realise the untapped potential that is Canadian superhero team Alpha Flight?!?!

Yeah Alpha flight! Yeah there’s Northstar, the first marvel superhero to come out of the closet, oh wait he’s in the x-men now. Then there’s his sister the mentally unstable Aurora, oh wait she’s in Weapon X,. Hey! At least theres Puck! Geez, no wonder that titls keeps getting canceled.

I have all of the Alpha Flight action figures still in their boxes mounted on my wall… BWA!! Actually, they did have their own monthly series, and they had a new re-vamped team, but of course they kept Vindicator Puck and Sasquatch in it…hehehe…

So on board with the white freezies. Someone told me once that they’re supposed to be cream soda flavoured but that *must* be shite, because I think cream soda tastes like medecine and these taste like the frozen nectar of the angels (which, considering all the fucked up shit in the Bible, is probably some sort of frozen God sweat. That wacky God and his rackets).

Hulk, I hate to say it, but I realy don’t care. And get your damn preview offa my Red Dragon DVD. Me and what army? Well. . .I — awright, awright; keep your shirt on, Hulk.

Matt, you can always use the box as a nifty hat! I would also like to add that when frozen, those little ice bastards are great at smackin’ people in the back of the head (while makin’ the famous Bruce Lee noises WAAAAH TAAAAAH).

Haw haw, you put out a fiver for Hulk freeze pops and you don’t even like half the flavors…Matt, teh loser is you!

Why did hulk have a fro and pointy eyebrows? Did this add to his superhero powers?

I’m waiting for the poor, dumb bastard who does a review of the movie and has no idea who Lou Ferrigno is. Then……the hunt is on.

Ferrigno is just going to have a cameo role as a security guard or something in the new movie..

I think the Hulk franchise could use rainbow colored Hulk-shaped limesicles! Or not.

shut up karen, no one cares about the point eyebrows and who is Lou anyway. lets go to lunch.

Th’ Hulk’s pants turn purple probably because he lets loose with a pantsload o’ bladdericious gamma-irradiated pee. Kids can now re-enact this loving trait of their beloved Green Goliath by eatin’ several Flavor Ice pops and just lettin’ goooooooooo……..

My sister saw the trailer for the Hulk movie on TV during the Super Bowl (yes, she actually watched pro football; she was rooting for a friend who lived in Tampa, and it was a darn good thing the Buccaneers won). Anyway, she saw the trailer and when she saw the Hulk was CGI, she was like astounded. I wasn’t surprised. Everything is being done CGI. Even Spider-Man swinging through the streets of NYC was CGI. The only problem with this is the Hulk looks too cartoonish and not human enough like the original Ferrigno.

Sindi, why do you always have to use your mother’s name when commenting on anything? can you not speak for yourself? And don’t make fun of me, by the way who is this Lou Ferrigno guy anyway, I assume he was the original hulk. Yep, I guess pointy eyebrows were the thing back then…look at spock from Star Trek…creepy…

Big, bushy eyebrows seem to tie in with machismo. Just look at the Japanese animators who have been pulling that shit for years (Fist of the North Star). Ferrigno was the origninal Hulk (the un-hulked alter ego Dr. was played by Bill Bixby) Ferrigno actually did ok in Hollywood, considering he was deaf as a post.

Ferringo is doing a signing of his new DVD sometime this week in the NYC BestBuy.

For those wondering, the previous 2 made for TV Hulk movies are being released in a DVD box set.

Dude, isn’t Ferrigno dead? Pumping Iron was the greatest movie of all time, he was shafted out of an Oscar! I demand justice immeadiately! Oh, and on a side note, the Hulk movie will suck. The hulk sucks as a comic book character. He’s just an idiot with anger management problems, a very big and strong idiot, but an idiot nontheless.

my wife had a child, and before they cleaned him thouroughly, that is what it looked like. Except it had eyes.

This is the only sad instance where I would prefer to suck some dick, not suck this ice cream. I would rather have aids, not permanent bowel movements from my ears.

when i lived in brooklyn they sold these thick, long ice pops in the bodega. i like em thick and long.

Hmmmm…I just ate the Hulk kind…oh…I am growing big….muscles….I am orange…that was the flavor I ate….these are different!!! WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW

You should try the kisko freezies. they were the first to make white (cream soda) flavour freezies.
They taste way better then the hulk ones.

sharky: The Hulk breakfast cereal has been released - it’s made by Post and consists of puffed wheat and marshmallows in the shape of tiny beakers.

HULK POPS RULE! I think its all the invisible gamma rays. Ive been on a Hulk pop eating MARATHON! Well I gotta get to bed so I can go buy another 100 pack in the morning.

help me find flavaice products……i’m in cali and grew up in jersey on flava ice
