There is chasam sofer petach tikva and chasam sofer bnei brak.  Petach tikva is supposed to be the better hechsher

why in the world is the flavored ou, and the unflavored ou-D?

1) those aren't comparable products
2) walmart has it for $5
3) its probably just the machinery that was previously used for a dairy product, I would email the OU about it

• um.. same product different packaging
• correct, defenetly overpriced i bought it in Duane read for 6.49
• Thought so, I sent them a E-mail

I try not to use OU-D, or coloring/dye/artificial-sweetener
I had to decide BTW OU-D or coloring/dye/artificial-sweetener

since the freezer pops don't come unflavored.

Assuming he's thinking of buying it, this isn't Bdi'eved.
