A Delicious Summertime Treat!

Next summer, when it's sweltering outside, it's time to try a tasty new treat! Bloodsicles, with all the platelet-y goodness of blood! Just kidding. The lions at the National Zoo in Washington DC, however, get a giant hunk of frozen cow blood and ice so that they can enrich themselves by pretending its a real cow (but aren't real cows, um, not ice?) and they can also just lick at it. I really want to go there and see it in action, but my summer's already packed. Which is odd, seeing as it's only late September/early October.
If you want to go ahead and try one, I won't judge.
