Would Not RecommendI am very disappointed with this product no longer having gum ball’s as eyes. I understand the choking hazard however that is consumer risk. Personally, parents should be watching their children more closely.

Horrible decision
Would Not RecommendHonestly stopped buying them after the horrible change from the classic nostalgic gumball eyes to chocolate eyes

Disappointed
What a disappointment. I never buy these in bulk and when i noticed the chocolate eyes and smile it made it worse. Not as bad as the size. The price keeps going up and the product seems to be getting smaller. Greedy companies. Will not be buying again

Not the same
Would Not RecommendGet this, 2 years ago, employer paid ice cream truck, get my free SpongeBob ice cream that I haven’t had since 06. At first glance it seemed relatively small but I let it slide since I’m now a 30 year old man as opposed to a child. What really bothered me was that there were no longer gum balls for eyes. They now have very thin slithers of chocolate. I found this to be very disappointing. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind and my SpongeBob ice cream less enjoyable

Not the same… bring back the old bar!
Would Not RecommendThis was my favorite popsicle as a child, the size, the gumball eyes, the texture. In 2026, this has changed entirely… the bars are much smaller it seems, they no longer have the gumball eyes, and the quality overall just seems to be so much worse. Please bring back the old version!!! Please!!!!

I found it tasted like lemon, absolutely no cotton candy flavor, and the white part was the best , with the gum ball eyes , that you’d immediately spit out after you got the flavor, they taste nothing like the old school ones from the ice cream truck! It makes me sad 😞

Bring the gum balls back
I want you to switch back to the gumball eyes because the chocolate eyes are disgusting. I may only be 10 years old but I can write this complaint and say I want my childhood gumballs back.

god awful design and chocolate
i was raised with the old popsicles and i could put aside the new design but the fact that they are 1/3 of its size is ridiculous and absurd. the new design is simple but extremely underwhelming and just seems plain.i want to be excited opening a spongebob popsicle, not disappointed and unimpressed by the design and size. i despise the chocolate flavor on the ice cream bc it just doesnt match the cotton candy flavor ice cream and it really takes away from the taste and experience of a sweet spon...
