The Wonderful World of Chia Pops

by royal_t_123

Chia Pops - everyone's favourite frozen treat. Chias like 'em, everyone likes 'em. Ever wanted to know all about Chia Pops? Look no further. First, a little Chia Pop history. The first Chia Pop was created when a Chia named Wilbur Winterbottom discovered that a little fruit flavouring, mixed with sugar and then frozen, tasted pretty darn good.

Mr. Winterbottom set up his own Chia Pop stand. The pops became very popular in his hometown of Iciclesville on Terror Mountain, and when the owner of the Ice Cream Factory offered William a deal for the rights to Chia Pops, he couldn't resist.

William Winterbottom got the job of Head Chia Pop Supreme Executive President. He oversaw Chia Pop design and manufacture. Today, one of Mr. Winterbottom's descendants, Didi von Curryworth-Winterbottom, holds his post.

Now what about the Chia Pops themselves, you ask? Read on. The rarest Chia Pops, with prices from 72 to 100 thousand NPs on the Shop Wizard, transform any ordinary Chia into a fruit or vegetable! Chias can currently become apples, pears, pineapples, aubergines, and avocados. Ever wonder why Lupes seem to like eating Chia-shaped snacks so much? Now you know.

But let's move on to the Chia Pops that every pet can enjoy for a low, low price. The first Chia Pops were the lemon, lime, blueberry, orange, grape, crab apple (ewwww), and rainbow pops. Besides the Crab Apple pop, the original Chia Pops were a fantastic success.

The good people at the ice cream factory, manufacturers of Chia Pops, were receiving Neomail from hungry pets all over Neopia demanding new Chia Pop flavours. It wasn't long before the makers of Chia Pops broke down and designed a whole score of new pops.

These new Chia Pops included the Blue Apple, Blue Orange, Chokato, Candy Floss, Splime, Snowberry, Neo Cola, Super Sour Shocker, and Tigersquash Chia Pops. The Tigersquash, Chokato, and Snowberry pops were all based on Mystery Island fruits. Splime was based on the popular spinach-lime smoothie flavour, and Neo Cola was based on the top Neopian soft drink. The new flavours were made a humongous splash due to ads on the NTV television network and billboards all over Neopia, from the tippy top of Terror Mountain to the VirtuPets Space Station Digital Billboard to the very central center of Neopia Central.

Customers flocked to the Happy Icy Fun Snow Shop to get the new flavours, which were selling like wildfire. The Chia Pop makers had hit paydirt. Chia Pops are still very popular today. The H.I.F.S.S. still sells out of them quickly, and NeoPets everywhere still enjoy their cold, fruity flavour.

Resources tell us there may be Juppie, Kelp, and New England Clam Chowder Chia Pops in the works. If you have any new ideas for Chia Pop flavours, Neomail me.
