Patriotic Drink Stirrer [4th of July]

I found this image for a fun 4th of July drink stirrer that I know is from Martha:

But of course I can't find it on her actual site. So I am guessing that the white star is jicama?  Any other ideas?

*updated*

Thanks to Jen and Brooke I know know it is coconut!

Patriotic Pops

It may be too cool in your neck of the woods for a frozen election day treat, but in my parts it is still in the 90s. So tomorrow would be a fun time for these Patriotic Pops from Family Fun. All you need is Blue Gatorade (or Powerade, or Kool-Aid...you get the idea), they used 'frozen whipped topping' for the middle, but I am not a fan of Cool Whip, so I would substitute vanilla ice cream, but that is just me. And then cran-raspberry or other fun red drink for the top. You can get step by step directions here.

I love this party drink idea from Family Fun

and it would be a great Memorial Day treat.  Make ice cubes with red and blue Gatorade/Powerade/Kool-Aid and then serve it with something clear.  Seltzer Water or Sprite work well.  If you use Seltzer, as the ice melts there will be swirls of colored bubbles.  Pretty fun.
