They are so good! I always buy them in the USA when I go there and I can't seem to find any in Toronto, anyone know where to get some banana popsicles in Canada?

Thanks for replying but can anyone tell me a specific location in the GTA where they might have them, off to highland farms and then sobeys near me to look for some banana popsicles.

I just had one last night. Bought @ Rabba's Fine Foods in Etobicoke. They are sold individually.

i actually seriously considered making a thread dedicated to melona last week. these things are EVERYWHERE now.
they have their obvious presence in k-grocers, and are a common site in chinese markets, but now i see them at Shoppers drug mart, no frills, etc. not that it's a bad thing, but i'm just midly amused by the sightings.

Those look really good!
Are they a dairy pop? or more an "ice treat".
TT is wayyyy to farrrrrr for me to go- like over 1 hour each way by bus.
Too far to go for frozen treats.

I actually make my own frozen melon items. I took honeydew added a bit of water, some lemon powder to keep it better and put in ice cube trays.
they are good in tea or in a slush or just to eat.

Those yellow banana ice pops all convenience stores seem to have them ot else maybe make your own??
I know a store that makes banana ice creame, so I'm sure it would be easy to make in a blender.

Honey dew is by far the best flavour. Strawberry and mango are alright, but Banana sucks. According to Wiki, there's a lime flavour too, but I've never seen them. I find T&T has the best price as they routinely go on sale for $2.99 (box of 8)


I think OP was thinking more along the lines of this:

Last week, Sobey's had Chapman's Banana Popicles that's the same as the polars for $2 for a box of 18.
I stocked up on 3 boxes. Regular price is only $3.49 so it's still much cheaper buying them at the corner store.

I went to my No Frills... $2.88, but no melon. There's also no sale sign either... I think $2.88 is regular price! :-0

was it the original melona by Binggrae, or melon bar by Lotte? i've seen them there, but i can't remember which i saw.
$2.88 is very good price, regardless of the brand though. they are $4-5 at korean markets. i hate how the korean markets are so expensive for nearly everything. i hardly buy anything from korean markets, unless it's a specialty item that can't be found elsewhere.

Agreed. I only pop into PAT when I wants some Korean rice cake desserts. The ones in the styrofoam dishes with the saran wrap... 2 for $5.

BTW, No Frills stocked the Binggrae.
