A Great Snack!!!!

I bought these great snacks at Sams club.They are called Philly Swirl Like a popcycle.A cross between a italian ice and sobert on a stick.They are great.Don't taste sugerfree.They are on a trial period a sams. Here is the complete nutritional. Calories.........10 Total FAT.......0 Cholesterol.....0 Sodium...........0 Total Carbs......4g Dietary Fiber 1g Sugars 0g Sugars Alcohol 3g Protein.............0 Contains 100% Vitamin C Go gets some if they don't sell enough sams will pull them i email the company to ask them to look into a product somewhat the same with protiein.because they are so good.the owner of the company personally called me back that me for the suggestion.said he would try but if this doesn't fly at sams that they would be probably done.So try it they are great!I thought it was awsome that the owner co-founder called me what a great guy.jeff Streator IL check out the web site phillyswirl.com/aboutus/dist.cfm Please try them i don't want to loese this great snack!!!

Thanks for the info. I went to their website and was a little concerned though. All the products listed there were not sugar free in fact most had 20+ grams of carbs, most being sugars. Maybe they don't list the sugar free ones. I will have to check them out in our local mart. Thanks again, Tracy

Hi Tracy~~ Also check out the sugar alcohols--they can make you ! Below is a link that will explain them! http://www.formyhealth.com/sugar_alcohols.htm

I ate two of them back to back no problems here. The sugarfree are only avaiable at sam's .That is why i was trying to get everyone to get some so they can keep making them.If they go to smaller stores who buy a ton less They might quit making them or they will be a lot higher cost.I talk to alex one of the owners he was calling on the protien already.Wouldn't thet be great to eat a pop that taste good and have 10 grams protien.If they can keep selling to sam's they will have money to look at the protien pops.I hate protien shakes!

FYI - They are also available at Super Walmart which is affiliated with the whole Sam's Club thingy. Presh in NY

Jeff~~ In your original post you listed the complete nutritional information and the amount of Protein was...... 0........... Do these snacks have any protein?? The website does not say anything about these new snacks! Alice

No they do not have protien.but i talked to alex owner co founder and he was going to test the product with protien.he ordered several different protien sources to test.That is why i wanted his product to make it so they can test marked one's with protien.I ask about dumping and he said it would not make you dump.something about what is in it?I just ask him questions.go to the website and ask alex any questions he will answer you.probely call you himself.I love them(philly swirl) i hope they make it.Jeff

Hey Jeff, That company would not know anything about dumping because dumping occurs at anytime and from many different sources and everyone is different. Sugar alcohols are worse than regular sugar from my own experience. Dumping is evil! It makes you feel yucky! Check out the link Alice posted below about sugar alcohols, it's very informative. I for example did not experience my first dumping episode until I was several months Post-op, I thought I was one of those Post-ops who couldn't dump. Was I Surprised when it happened the first time, and it was Peanut butter, the low Carb one! Now if I drink or eat a certain kind of food whether it has sugar or not it can make me dump, especially if it was high in fat. I don't think they are going to make a Popsicle with Protein, it would make it taste yucky! LOL I'll stick to my SF Popsicles, I still love them and they come in Tropical flavor too, for the Latina in me, LOL Good luck and be careful with those Philly swirls, I used to eat the regular ones as a Pre-op and they were high in sugar.

So tell me sugar alcohols do they make you dump.How many is bad? i ate 2 back to back no problems.i do it all the time at least once a day.you don't have to try them i just thought i would tell people about them a ton of people have writtem me back and said they got them and loved them.What iis the percentage of people that will dump on 3 sugar alchols????sorry if i offened you by telling you about them.How do you know how they would taste with protien?The ones you used to eat before were full of sugar.these are 10 calories sugarfree.4 carbs. They couldn't taste as bad as the whey protien mix.

Hey Jeff You didn't offend me, LOL! I was just giving you my own experience. A lot of Post-ops dump and some don't, some dump on certain foods. It all depends. About Protein, it just happens that whenever I have tried stuff like Protein Shakes, Protein bars and stuff that has added Protein, it tastes gross, but that's just because I happen to be very picky (after my WLS). But I have to tell you, I bought those SF Cookies once and all I had was 2 and they made me dump! The sugar alcohol was just 4! So it really all depends on what it is you are eating. You might not dump, but then again you might experience it later as you get further out. Good luck, you're doing great! Marilyn
