Background:<\/strong><\/td>\nCool off with Frozen Treats, a U.S. Postal Service Forever stamp issuance featuring frosty, colorful, icy pops on a stick. The tasty, sweet confections come in a variety of shapes and flavors.<\/p>\n

Today, Americans love cool, refreshing ice pops on a hot summer day. Modern frozen treats are available in many varieties. Ice pops are made by large manufacturers, home cooks, and artisanal shops. In recent years, frozen treats containing fresh fruit such as kiwi, watermelon, blueberries, oranges, and strawberries have become more common. In addition, flavors such as chocolate, root beer, and cola are also popular. Some frozen treats even have two sticks, making them perfect for sharing.<\/p>\n

This booklet of 20 stamps showcases Margaret Berg\u2019s whimsical watercolor illustrations of frozen treats. Each of the 10 stamp designs include two different treats. The words \u201cFOREVER\u201d and \u201cUSA\u201d appear along the bottom of every stamp.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
