Otter Pops In 1995, [they] planned to replace the “Sir Isaac Lime” flavor with “Scarlett O’Cherry,” until a group of Orange County, California fourth-graders created a petition in opposition and picketed the company’s headquarters in early 1996. The crusade also included an e-mail campaign, in which a Stanford professor reportedly accused the company of “Otter-cide.” After meeting with the children, company executives relented and retained the Sir Isaac Lime flavor. Long live Sir Isaac Lime! (Thanks for reminding me of these beautiful bags of frozen sugary liquid!)
