Spotted at this year’s Summer Fancy Food Show, Whirly Pop Sweet Strawberry Soda is a sugary, fizzy delight that takes the iconic rainbow swirl lollipop brand and transforms it into a drinkable treat. This bubblegum-pink soda is bursting with bright strawberry flavor and serious nostalgic vibes. Packaged in an old-fashioned glass bottle with the signature Whirly Pop branding, it’s as fun to look at as it is to sip. Sweet, silly, and unapologetically pink — this one’s a sugar rush in liquid form. My teeth hurt just looking at the bottle.

Attendees of the annual Summer Fancy Food Show will offer no argument that the main focus of the event is right there in the name. Fancy Food – which completely dominates New York City’s Javits Center for three days in late June – is all about Specialty Foods of all varieties and the people who love and obsess over them.
At Fancy Food, your mouth will definitely be doing the heavy lifting, but while you’re feeding your face, trawling the trade show floor in a food-coma, on a continuous quest for your next nosh, important visual cues will alert you to a must-visit pitstop for stuffing yourself with yet another gut-busting bite.

While I am currently walking the floor of the Javits Center at this year’s Summer Fancy Food Show, I could not let the day slip by unacknowledged. Please enjoy a selection of my photos of Pink Things that I’m checking out from the show!

Pink Thing of The Day: Pink Sauce
Some of the specialty food items that quite didn’t make it into my Summer Fancy Food Recap were excluded for a very good reason: they are being saved for Pink Things posts — because we want to make the deliciousness last as long as possible! And how could we not feature something called Pink Sauce? It is just too perfect.

Pink Thing of The Day: Chef Mark Conway!
When I first spotted Mark Conway at the recent Summer Fancy Food Show, I wasn’t aware that he’s the host of the World Food Championships podcast. I only knew that I had to meet the man who wore this gorgeous Magenta Suit — with sneakers, shirt, tie and vest in coordinating shades of pink — to the show, because he looked amazing!
