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.

BRING BACK THE GUMBALLS!!!
Replacing the gumballs with the chocolate eyes was the most obvious way to cut costs and simultaneously make a once iconic product, into a disgusting one. Who wants to eat chocolate with fruit punch & cotton candy??

The best treat for the summer since I was a kid! It’s the only one I get when the ice-cream truck rolls around!

BRING BACK GUMBALL EYES!!!
My favorite popsicle ever. Hurts to leave a 1 star review but must be done. BRING BACK GUMBALL EYES. Please 🙏 😢. They were so good I would just eat them when they were nice and cold. Complimented the flavor nicely. Originally Design > nEw DeSiGn excited to purchase in bulk when changed back. Boycotting till then.

SpongeBob Eyes Taken by Shortsighted UniLeverExecs
We're done with SpongeBob Popsicles. These once iconic pops now missing gumball eyes are no longer anyone's favorite childhood memory. Now they are just ice pops invented in 2023. Who ever thought of pairing fruit punch and cotton candy with chocolate?

Amazing Treat but BRING THE GUM-BALL EYES BACK!!!
I’m honestly conflicted while completing this review. I would love more than anything to give the SpongeBob Popsicle a 10/10 with 5 stars but I can’t. The flavor is by far amazing, and one of my favorite treats, but the chocolate eyes are a major turn off for me. These popsicles were 10000 times better when the gum ball eyes existed. The chocolate ruins both the flavor and the experience. Additionally, they look too normal while pulling them out of the packaging. I used to enjoy the funny and up...
