Nothing is better than summertime. The beach, sundresses, flip-flops, parties on the patio…While all enjoyable in their own right, they become even more serendipitous when accompanied by a fabulously frozen/sweet/refreshing summer treat.

Sure if you’re Kid Rock, drinking Whiskey by the bottle (And of course, singing Sweet Home Alabama…All. Summer. Long.) would be your summer standard. But for those of us who don’t get into fist fights at The Waffle House, treats can bring us back to the sweet nostalgia of chasing the ice-cream truck (Mickey-Mouse on a Popsicle stick anyone?). Nothing is better than that!

From trendy to old school, we here at College Candy put together our list of favorite summer treats. So grab a chaise lounge, some sunscreen, relax and dig in!

Slurpees from 7-11. While Slurpee’s will always remind me of high school (I grew up in Suburbia and we spent many-a-Saturday driving between 7-11’s… Clearly, I was no Kelly Kapowski), there is just something so yummy and refreshing about sipping on a slurpee. (Note: Best enjoyed in the parking lot watching the regular creepy guys going in to buy porn)

The Freezer Pop. Long before we had our licenses, we would make our own freezer pops (before running in the sprinklers or getting muddy on the Slip’N’Slide)
How To: Take an ice cube tray (or this fancy schmancy “freezer pop maker”) and fill it with a beverage of your choice- (Lemonade, OJ, Coke) cut popsicle sticks in half and insert them in the liquid. Stick them in the freezer and enjoy! (Don’t forget your Flintstones vitamin!) Read More »

Is anyone else seeing yellow? I’m pretty sure The Simpsons are taking over America. And I’m okay with it.

7-11’s are now Kwik-e-Marts, Jet Blue is their official airline, even Ben & Jerry’s is making an exclusive Simpson’s ice cream flavor for the premiere. Which, by the way, is being held in Springfield, NJ the town America chose as their own Springfield.

You too can be Simpsonized, eat Krusty-O’s cereal or a pink sprinklelicious donut, drink a Squishee or down a Buzz Cola all while reading your Radioactive Man Comic Book.

Or, if you’re a fan of fashion and find yourself glazing the pages of the August Harper’s Bazaar, you’ll see it features Marge alongside Simponized Linda Evangelista modeling the latest fashions (honestly, some dresses are from the Fall 07 collections). The designs of Chanel, Viktor & Rolf, Lanvin, Louis Vuitton, Versace, Gaultier are all featured as the family tours Paris.

WOO HOO! Could life get any better??

It could…and it does. Read More »
