Okay, yeah, funny story, but are these the bomb pops that you can buy in a box of 20 for like $4? Or do ice cream trucks get something different? I need to know.

Depends on the size and the truck. The ones when I was a kid had the big 'uns. I don't know what size you're getting when it's 20 for $4 but I imagine it's one of the smaller ones. The flavor is the same though.

It doesn't matter to me, though. The orange sherbet Flintstones push ups were superior in every way.

They stopped making the big ones about a decade back. The ones sold by the truck should still be larger, but not by as much as they used to be.

They also went up in price a lot. Firecrackers used to cost ~$0.29 wholesale but they raised it to ~$0.55 when they shrunk them.

They did WHAT!?! First they took the Flintstones off the push pops and now this.
