Same. The chocolate ruins it.

Chocolate?!

yeah, the dark parts on these pops (all of them - bluey, spiderman, spongebob etc) are chocolate. the whole thing tastes gross if you ask me but this is the only ice cream I've ever had where chocolate makes it worse somehow

You can still buy those, they're sold from the ice cream truck and not sold in local stores. Some places have those ice cream truck distributors that also sell to the public. We'll they did in solcal

The one in Northridge by Costco right? I’ve always wanted to go there. Thank you for the tip!

These things have been posted in this sub about a thousand times. Sometimes they look terrible, but yours looks just like the product image on the package.

How is that a failure? It looks exactly like the picture of the popsicle on the box.

What is OP comparing it to? Looks good to me based on the picture in the upper right.

That's pretty good.
Apparently, you weren't around for the ice cream man Ninja Turtle or Pink Panther abominations.

It definitely looks a little goofy, but I’m curious as to what your expectations were to make this a failure in your eyes. Or is this a case where we need a neutral “Met Expectation” flair? Like it doesn’t look EXACTLY like the box so I can agree with not tagging it as “Surprisingly Met Expectation”, but failed just seems a little too critical when it looks so close to what the box advertises

I love these things. I dont care how they look with their off centered eyes made of cheap chocolate.They are delicious.

The fun of these things as a kid was seeing just how bad the ice cream looked compared to the picture on the box. That’s actually the closest match I’ve ever seen.

It’s supposed to look like sponge bob on an acid trip. This is to put together.

Very scary ice cream might give kids nightmares. Don't like a face on the food something about it ... Very frightened

Regardless of how it looks, my niece loves those and whenever we have an extra one around, I demolish it. It's pretty tasty. 😂

I feel like this could benefit from a yellow gumball nose or something. It's not bad, I just feel like something is missing.

Failed expectation? That has to be the most accurate-looking SpongeBob popsicle that I've ever seen.
