A few years ago, I came across some very tasty sugar-free popsicles that I came to rely on for treats almost every evening. I enjoyed orange-flavored, cherry-flavored, and pomegranate-flavored treats that contained only about 15 calories each. But, suddenly, the makers of those treats learned I enjoyed them, spurring them to stop producing them. That’s the way it seems to go. The popsicles were among dozens of products I have enjoyed over the years that are no longer available.
How can I hide my consumption of these things so the makers do not realize it’s me who’s buying them? That’s the only way, I think, to ensure their ongoing availability. I smile, of course, but then…I wonder…
The only way to beat the makers is to make your own.
