mcsteffi replied to stephanielaw's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I had the same problem the other day! Those trucks play their music so loud! lol. My little one got the red, white and blue rocket pop and he seemed ok. But it did turn him blue and was very hard to get off. Makes you wonder what is in the food coloring. I am trying to find out if the "fla vor ice" pops are gluten free now. Wanted to keep them... -
