A very nostalgic popsicle. I was a little bummed it didn’t have the wacky candy eyes. The classic taste is still sweet, without being too sweet. Packaging is the perfect portion size.

bring back the old one
it is too thick and smaller than the original. the chocolate goes bad with the fruity ice cream, its not as vibrant as it used to be, the gum-ball eyes are still in every other ice cream bar, except for SpongeBob. Even though the old ones melted faster, i like how these don’t melt as fast.

Amazing Popsicles
The flavor is delish, my husband and I love these. People fail to understand they sell 2 sizes. The jumbo ones are sold seperately and can be found at gas stations. The gumball eyes were good, however, I am 30 yrs old. Not 5. I will survive and keep buying the product!! Please keep making these!

Garbage ingredients
Would Not RecommendValue engineering the product, removal of the gumball eyes and price pack architecture has made this product inedible. There no flavor, no mouth feel and the ingredients are pure trash.

Yummy
I used to get these off the ice cream truck. I loved the gumball eyeballs and I miss them. The flavor is nice and the consistency is soft and gooey, very yummy.

Tasty popsicle. Weird reviewers.
I found these to be really tasty. I was surprised by all the reviews filled with a bunch of adults crying about gumball eyes. I guess their nostalgia is more important than a child's safety. The popsicle is delicious.

Boycott Until Restored
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!!!!

Fun and tasty treat for all ages!
Would RecommendTasty treat! Especially during the summer days.
Verified Purchaser
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.
