Title: Yet Sweet
Word Count: 192
Notes: I really liked the prompt. I attempted to come up with an idea, and this
was the first that came into my mind. I wasn't too crazy about it at
first, but everything else I tried writing just wouldn't go through. So
yeah, not crazy about the idea, but I do like how it came out. Does that
make sense? Haha, I don't know. Whateveerrr~.

It took the perfect combination of salty, yet sweet.

The sugary flavor against the harsh salt all thrown together into a delightful blend with a blue-ish hue.

Scrooge McDuck smiles proudly, a smile spread wide across his beak. "Here you go," he kindly offers, selling another popsicle to another customer.

He takes a break, putting up a sign that indicates he'd be back in eight minutes. And eight minutes on the dot, he would be.

Scrooge has barely had the chance to breathe due to the extreme demand for his delicious treat. It was so new and the idea was so completely
outrageous, everyone had to try it.

And once they did, their tongues stained blue couldn't help but to spread the word.

He finds refuge on a bench. And for the first time in what felt like forever, he enjoys the warm sun, the children laughing and everything
around him. He takes out a popsicle, and gives it a small lick.

First tingly, but quickly turned sweet.

He smiles, delighted by the intense flavor. Scrooge takes a bite.

And in every hand, gripped tightly was a popsicle stick that brought smiles to all.
