Old School Chillers

The Ghetto Pops Will Keep You Cool

Ghetto Pops are whimsically-shaped cold treats in the shape of old school rap images.

Designed by the genius himself, Gary Garay, we can't help but chuckle at the idea of seeing people eating these on the beach. You can buy a Ghetto Pops out of the Desert Eskimo cart and when you do, you will always know that West side is the best side.
