It started during the first “heat event.” I won’t call it a wave. That’s what they want.
The school mandated reusable water bottles but didn’t regulate volume, conductivity, or salinity. Predictable chaos followed. I pivoted to these freezer pops: clear, calm, and fortified.
Heather’s son had two. I won’t speculate what happened next — the gag order covers that. But I will say my children remained cool, lucid, and visibly hydrated.
Each pop is labeled, batch-tracked, and lightly citrus-scented.
