What Customers Are Saying
The product features a mix of positive and negative feedback. Many customers enjoyed the original design with gumball eyes, finding it appealing and nostalgic. However, the current version with chocolate eyes is widely seen as a downgrade, with customers feeling the new design detracts from the overall flavor and texture. Some express they will no longer purchase the product due to this change, though others emphasize the gumball eyes were the best part of the experience.

First I love the texture of these Popsicles. They're just so hard to describe and so freakin delicious. The price is good packaging is decent. Doesn't seem to melt too fast. But then again it's not triple digits outside. I'm not wild about the cotton candy and fruit punch flavor combined. I wish they made those flavors but in their own individual popsicle not together like the eyes are cotton candy flavor spongebob and his pants are fruit punch. The flavors alone are great but not together.

Gumball eyes are the best for SpongeBob SquarePant
Good morning I am writing to complain about the SpongeBob SquarePants Popsicles. I’m really confused on what customers are happy with having chocolate as eyeballs then the original gumballs that we all love. I really wanted my SpongeBob SquarePants popsicle with gumball eyes and was very disappointed by the nasty chocolate chips, can we please all decide that we want to Go to go back to gumball eyes!!!!

Hi I’m 26 years old and I’ve been eating these since i was 5. I’ve always wished it was mainly cotton candy, i don’t really vibe with it just being the eyeballs (also chocolate tastes so bad with fruit punch and cotton candy, please bring back the gumballs) since I’ve been eating this for 21 years i hope you take my request into consideration, and adding more cotton candy flavoring, I’m sure so many people would agree!!

HEATH CARE WORKER’s SWEET RETREAT!
My absolute favorite popsicle I have ever had the pleasure of eating! Finding a popsicle other than a push pop that is more sherbet type popsicle and doesn’t upset my stomach afterwards. I have shared this awesome goodness with many of my coworkers who instantly fell in love with Sponge Bob Popsicle just as much as I have. Unfortunately all the stores in the area I live only sell this particular popsicle as singles. My coworkers and I find ourselves rushing to all the stores nearby lately to pur...

Bring back the gumball eyes
It looks like a new way to cut cost rather than a new way to please consumers, these chocolate eyes are a very bad idea and change on the sponge bob ice cream , the ice cream itself is amazing , bring back the gumball eyes I give a rating of 3 just because this was a terrible marketing idea

Review Padding New Inferior Product W/ Old Reviews
Put the gumballs back. The chocolate is disgusting with these flavors. Speaking of bad taste, it's bad taste and kind of misleading that you kept the reviews of the old popsicles with the new one. Your old reviews are irrelevant to the current product. The new product is inferior and is a different product entirely because of this change.

Delicious and amazing texture; so nostalgic
This is and has been my favorite popsicle since I was a child. The extra thick/creamy texture makes it a must whenever I’m at a gas station or happened to hear an ice cream truck drive by! I have no idea why other people have given it such low ratings. This and the other line of popsicles with the same texture, like the power puff girl, ninja turtle, Spider-Man, some other big characters, are the hands-down best popsicles that have ever been invented. I literally made a 10 minute detour home jus...

Great Memories, Tasty Treat
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'd get rid of the chocolate and honestly just keep a dye for the eyes and mouth. The gumballs are a luxury, but technically also a choking hazard so I get it for commercial sale outside of a ice cream truck. The chocolate is a little jarring, but other than that it's delicious! Just like I remember.

Sad celiac
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have celiac and since the gumball eyes have been changed I can no longer eat them. They used to be my go-to ice cream bar and my heart broke upon seeing that they now have gluten in them. Why add gluten? You are crushing so many hearts of SpongeBob pop lovers

Bring back Gumballs
Only giving 2 stars because the popsicle itself still tastes good however the chocolate eyes are very out of place and don’t taste good along the fruity flavors of the popsicle itself just being the gum balls back and keep the chocolate as an alternative for small children because this is definitely not the move

gross
Putting chocolate eyes on this popsicle was a very dumb move. Do you know how to mix flavors together or did you eat lead paint chips as a child?

You Ruined SpongeBob
You guys got rid of the Gumball eyes, replacing them with tiny chocolate chips, and made it smaller, all while keeping the price the same and ruining this classic piece of Ice Cream history for everyone. No one’s happy with you Popsicle. I hope you realize the error of your ways and change it back.

Why.?
Why is the eyes not gumballs anymore? It does not even taste the same without the gumball eyes!
