    St. Augustine has Hyppo Gourmet Pops since 2010 and I think KIng of Pops has been in Atlanta for close to a decade. That's only two points of data; still, this isn't that new. Maybe just slow to spread.

    Sometimes during the winter at Steel City Pops, you can pay a little extra and have your popsicle dipped in chocolate, which can make some great flavor combos. They're enormously popular here in Birmingham.
