Prevent Popsicle Mess

By Stephanie Brown, About.com

Popsicles can be pretty messy, which is okay if you're poolside but not so much when you're headed to grandma's or somewhere else afterward.

To cut back on popsicle mess, save the small lids from yogurt, margarine, cottage cheese and sour cream containers. Cut a very small slit in the lid and slide the sticks of popsicles through them to create a "catch" for all the drips. Wash and reuse, or throw away the lid and stick if you're on the go.
