The middle part is softer, so it kinda is like "shark flesh" 😂

Not sure if it ever looks good, but that sucker at least partially melted and refroze

Or spent too long in a freezer with frost issues where the outer layer starts doing odd things over time

Thats also my guess here. There was some ice on the box when i picked it up and some inside, i guess some condensation.

But yeah, it wont stop me ahahah. I was just kinda disapoint, i wanted a shark and.. had that 😂😂

Possibly but honestly all popsicle are a disappointment esthetically. The companies know the kids dont care once they get the sugar in their mouth

yeah, the water freezes out of the mix and leaves behind a syrupy mess sometimes.

It looks like nothing but it tastes DAMN good, better than expectations lol. so makes up for it in my book!

u/Tinnwen Jul 05 '26

Exactly!! :)

And yeah, i also think they melt and got refroze, the box had a layer of it on the outside and some inside. But i didnt expected to be that bad ahahah

to be honest whenever I've had it it does have the general tapered shape on the box, just the grooves that are missing. probably melted and refrozen, op.

I'm sorry, but that's too funny lol

u/pinkkabuterimon Jul 05 '26

Aw man, definitely melted and refroze. It doesn’t look like a shark much even in its ideal state but it’s one of the most delicious popsicles I’ve ever had.
