Festive ice pop

Date: 1985

Location: Beihai Park

In the summers of the 1980s, there were only a few choices of ice pops for children. The only available flavors were haw, red bean and chocolate. The ice pops were usually put into a box covered with thick quilts when selling. The photo shows several kids eating haw-flavored ice pops during Children's Day.
