TOMORROW TO SHOW YOU GIFTS THAT
MEN WILL REALLY LIKE FOR
VALENTINE'S DAY.
NOW IT'S TIME TO DISH. NOW
IT'S A LITTLE COLD OUTSIDE. BUT
I GUARANTEE IN THE NEXT MONTH
WE'LL ALL BE COMPLAINING THAT
IT'S TOO HOT. THEN WE'LL WANT A
HIPPO ICE POP. PLEASE WELCOME
STEVEN.
HEY. THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
YOU GUYS HAVE A COUPLE
SHOPS. JUST OPENED ONE A BLOCK
AWAY. LITERALLY A BLOCK AWAY
FROM UNITY PLAZA.
THIS IS OUR FIRST
JACKSONVILLE STORE. WE'RE SUPER
EXCITED TO HAVE IT HERE. WE
STARTED IN ST. AUGUSTINE AND WE
HAVE BEEN IN GAINESVILLE AND ST.
PETES AND IT'S GREAT TO HAVE A
STORE HERE.
AND OBVIOUSLY
THERE -- PEOPLE LIKE THEM
BECAUSE THEY'RE EXPANDING. LET
ME GO INTO ANOTHER THING.
HIPPO. WHERE DID THAT COME
FROM? BECAUSE I'M THINKING OF
PENGUIN OR SOME OTHER TYPE OF
ARTIST CREATURE.
THAT'S A QUESTION WE GET A
LOT. THE FIRST ONE WAS THE
WOMEN -- WAS CALLED HIPPOGISTRY.
WE TOOK A PART OF THAT. ADDED
ANOTHER LETTER. TOOK THE ANIMAL
AS OUR MASCOT.
AND IT WORKS. NOW LET'S
DIVE INTO THE BEST PART.
WE BROUGHT A HUGE VARIETY OF
POPS WITH US. WE HAVE
OUR -- TIP OF THE HAT TO THE JAX
COMMUNITY. THIS IS OUR LARGEST
VARIETY OF POPS WE EVER HAD. WE
HAVE AN ORDER OF SOMETHING
LIKE -- 65 DIFFERENT FLAVORS.
AND JUST LAUNCHED A NEW DRESSING
FOR THE POPS CALLED THE SUIT AND
TIE. AND IN THE SUIT AND TIE WE
TAKE ANY POP OF YOUR CHOOSING,
DIP THEM IN CHOCOLATE AND TOP
THEM WITH TOPPING. AND WE ALSO
HAVE POP ROCKS.
I WOULD LOVE THAT RIGHT NOW.
SO WE'RE GOING TO GRAB A
BLOOD ORANGE CHEAP SKATE. IT'S
ONLY AVAILABLE DURING THIS TYPE
OF YEAR. WE HAND SQUEEZE BLOOD
ORANGES. MIX IT WITH CREAM
CHEESE. DIP IT IN CHOCOLATE.
COAT IT WITH MAYBE TOASTED
COCONUT.
ALL RIGHT. DIP IT IN THE
CHOCOLATE. AGAIN -- WHAT'S ALL
IN THERE? IT LOOKS MORE THAN
JUST A POPSICAL.
THIS HAS CREAM CHEESE SO
IT'S GOOD FOR WINTER. FRESH
BLOOD ORANGE JUICE AND A LITTLE
BIT OF FLORIDA CANE SUGAR AND
THAT'S IT.
LEAVE IT TO THE
PROFESSIONAL.
AND IT'S CALLED SUIT AND TIE
BECAUSE THE CHOCOLATE IS THE
SUIT ALL AROUND. THE TIE GOES
ON THE ONE SIDE.
YOU WERE SAYING OVER 60
FLAVORS. WHAT ARE A COUPLE OF
THEM?
I BROUGHT A FEW MORE. WE
HAVE CUCUMBER JALAPENO.
STRAWBERRY BASIL.
WHAT'S A FAVORITE?
PROBABLY THE PISTACHIO
ROSEWATER. WE GET SO
MUCH -- ACCOLADE FOR IT.
YEAH. DO YOU HEAR EVERYBODY
BACK THERE? SAYING AWWW.
WE HAVE A FRIEND WHO SPENT
TIME IN AFGHANISTAN AND
PISTACHIO ROSE IS A REALLY
POPULAR FAVORITE. WOULD YOU
LIKE A BITE?
YEAH. I DO ACTUALLY.
CAN BE A LITTLE MESSY.
THAT IS REALLY GOOD AND
REALLY RICH. WOW.
YEAH. IT'S FUN. THE POP
ROCKS ARE JUST FUN. SOMETIMES
YOU HAVE TO BREAK A LITTLE BIT
AND HAVE A GOOD TIME.
SURE. WHAT'S YOUR WEBSITE?
THEHIPPO.COM.
THESE ARE SO GOOD. AND THE
CREAM CHEESE GIVES IT A LITTLE
BIT OF A WINTER KICK.
YEAH. YOU FEEL LIKE YOU
