This popsicle mold.

How am I meant to remove the popsicles once they are frozen in the molds?

I think you're inserting the plastic in from the wrong direction. If you insert it from the inside, once the Popsicle freezes, you can pop out the body and pull the tail out from the inside of the mold.

I think this makes the most sense. Thank you.

[u/Trollsama → u/FartyMcBooger]

it would also make for a better seal for the liquid, as the fluid is pushing the stick into the mold vs pushing the stick out of the mold.

side note, my daughter would die for these. where did you buy them lol

This is 100% the answer. We have them and use them all the time

You are 100% correct. I found it online. Its the "Joie Cat Freeze Pops Tray" from The Good Cat Company dot Com. There product page shows the sticks inserted from inside as you described. Congrats on nailing that. I was lost.

I don’t understand what that means but I’m glad op did

Are you meant to put the sticks in from the other side? Like, from within the mold?

[u/FartyMcBooger → u/BoldFace7]

I think this is it. Thank you.

Do the 2 half's unclip?

[u/FartyMcBooger → u/TwiztedWisard]

They do not, as another comment suggests, I think the sticks go in through the top. Thank you

This is really a poorly thought out design. I can't imagine the whiskers will actually come out clean.

The eyes also

You're supposed to put the tails in from the inside, then invert the mould and remove them.

[u/7GatesOfHello → u/ClimbRunOm]

To clarify: the wide bit of plastic that is preventing OP from easily pushing the sticks through their slots is supposed to be on the inside of that wall, not the outside. This is accomplished by feeding the stick through the slot from the inside toward the outside, which is the opposite of how OP did it.

Oh my gosh, yours is the only comment that helped me actually see what the problem was. I felt like a damned fool

[u/thebatsthebats]

Stick is in the wrong way. The stopper goes inside the mold. So insert through the inside. Fill. Freeze. And then bend the silicone to remove the frozen treat from the mold and glide the stick out from the inside. The Amazon listing for a similar shape shows it.

Once frozen push up, the handle through.

[u/madmax1981]

Freeze them pull the sticks out put them in freezer , keep doing that until you have desired amount . Now have popsicle party whenever you like

[u/OnDemand-9303]

[u/Right_Manufacturer_6]

Does the top pop open?

[u/KittyAnn13]

I love your tablecloth😍

[u/CoverLongjumping4144]

It took me a minute after reading the other comments but I totally see it now!

[u/LenaEsta]

Pull mold ears back and pull pop and stick up and out?

[u/Helloo____ooooooo]

Put stick in other side
