The U.S. Postal Service is providing customers
of all ages with a treat for their senses with the release of its first scratch-and-sniff
stamps on Wednesday, June 20. The aroma of the Frozen Treats Forever
Stamps will remind customers of the sweet scent of summer when mailing and
receiving letters of love, friendship, party invitations and other
correspondence.
The stamps will be dedicated June 20 at 6 p.m.
CDT at the Thinkery Children’s Museum in Austin, TX. The event is free and open
to the public. Followers of the U.S.
Postal Service’s Facebook page can view the ceremony live at facebook.com/USPS. Share the news on Facebook and other social media using the
hashtag #FrozenTreatsStamps.
“The Frozen Treats stamps offer the latest
innovation in stamp design, which means you can add the sweet scent of summer
to your cards and letters,” said U.S. Postal Service Vice President of Finance
and Planning Luke Grossman, who will dedicate the stamps. “It’s a fun way
to enjoy the stamps, but it’s even more fun to share the experience with your
friends and family.”
The stamps feature
illustrations of colorful, icy pops on a stick. The tasty, sweet confections
come in a variety of shapes and flavors.
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.
