In collaboration with Adult Swim, King of Pops has released a Rick and Morty "Pickle Rick" pop just in time for music festival season. But it's not pickle-flavored.

If you're sweltering in this summer heat (or just have a killer popsicle craving), the Westside Provisions District is hosting a King of Pops pop-up during the next three weekends, featuring half-price pops.

In the last couple of years, young entrepreneurs from all over have started producing handcrafted ice pops using organic and local ingredients in an increasingly sophisticated range of tastes.
