it's it

are you familiar with the magical it's it? it's a treat to be sure. if not, keep reading, i'm about to educate you.


this is an it's it box. it also comes in green (mint) and brown (cappuccino). you should be excited when you hold one of these because good things are inside.

this is an it's it package. note the colors and flavors. note they are a san francisco tradition. an sf treat. maybe this is where rice a roni got it's name. copycats. you cannot get it's its outside of california unless you are very lucky or want to pay a lot of money.

this is a vanilla it's it. not my picture. i might have set it on a bed of gold shavings. that's how much i like it's its.


now that you are in the know, i'll continue.

it's been hot in sd. i say that knowing i'll probably get a shoe thrown at my face if any of my east coast constituents are reading this. we live on the 2nd story with no AC. we're hot. our form of air conditioning has been frozen treats. it's working out well. our freezer it stocked with popsicles of every genre. all fruit, creamsicles, fudgesicles, you get the idea.

while prowling the frozen aisle on friday night, i spotted this childhood memory. i used to buy an it's it regularly (dare i say, daily?) while in junior high and high school. just ask my sister. she did the same thing.

my healthy lunches consisted of it's its, taco bell burritos and mini powdered donuts. i have NO idea why i couldn't stay awake in class. moving on...

while i squealed in delight, aaron scratched his head. he had never met an it's it. i quickly remedied that problem. sometimes it's so fun to introduce him to american things. i'm sure he feels the same way about watching me try canadian things.

last night he had his first bite and loved it. we bought the mint variety. another satisfied customer!! try one today!

i believe i ate one in junior high quite regularly. if i'm not mistaken, i ate "hot bread" and this ice cream novelty. if the cookies have some cinnamon in them, they'd be the ones. hot bread was a large split hunk of white bread spread with butter and warmed.

I look for those everywhere I go and nobody has them. It's a CA thing. Love them. I got one daily when I worked for the good old State of CA. Enjoy one for me!
