Youthful Memory/frozen soda

When we were kids my siblings and I would take soda (usually Cola or RootBeer) and freeze it. Then we would have little cups of cola or rootbeer ices.  Sometimes we'd fill ice cube trays, some times little paper cups, or other small cups.  One day me and my sister wake up early and  look in the freezer. WOW, there was ices in a little cup, but neither of us remembered what flavor or who made it. So i take a like and then a bite. Bites get you more flavor and let it melt in your mouth. "hmmm , I said , I think it's Root Beer"... my sister grabs it and tastes and says " Nope it's Coke". This goes back and forth until it's all gone. We still couldnt decide.  A while later  my father  gets up and enters the kitchen.  He goes straight to the freezer.
He is searching, and then says what happened to  the frozen worms ( Daphnae or tubeflex) for the tropical fish, I'm sure  I had some in here".. OMG   we were gagging, those tiny, little disgusting worms.  We ate 100's of them . I'm getting sick to my stomach now , so many years later.

here's a link to picture of these  tubeflex worms:
