Happy 4th of July! 245 years ago the United States declared independence, and it’s been a party ever since. Independence Day is one of the best holidays for barbeques, fireworks, and ugly Old Navy t-shirts. One of the best parts of the 4th of July is foraging for a place to watch the fireworks. In every city and town in America, this is a blood sport. People claim their territory for firework viewing a full 72 hours before the festivities even begin. My personal favorite part of the 4th is those delicious Red White and Blue popsicles, also known as the bomb pop. I have yet to find a popsicle that has more perfect flavors, colors, and shapes as this 4th of July delicacy. Another celebratory food I’ve always been intrigued by is the Red White and Blue Smirnoff. I doubt that it captures the flavors of freedom as fiercely as the bomb pop, but it makes wonderful decor for a college apartment.
