Steven Drozd of The Flaming Lips and super fontographer Chank Diesel created a font called "Crawfish Popsicle" in the late 90's. You can still download it at the Flaming Lips website: http://www.flaminglips.com/content/downloads/index.html Just a heads up that not everyone believes crawfish popsicles are so odd.

And this is by no means meant to say that the ice cream wasn't still fabulous! It was both tasty and highly enjoyable- if not for the odd construction, then for the fact that character ice-cream is one of the best things, ever. -Susan Yes, for some reason an ice cream sea sponge is just fine… maybe it’s because of eating sponge candy as child?

Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn't even seem to be livin'... 'til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin'. The ocean turns red, and despite all your poundin' and your hollerin' those sharks come in and... they rip you to pieces. And the thing about a Spongebob popsicle is he’s got lifeless eyes.

I think it was vanilla with chocolate cookie dough (not chips) and caramel and it was fantastic but for whatever reason, it went away. Other more crappy ice cream remains. Go figure.

It was initially kind of interesting to ponder the manufacturing and marketing of character ice-cream, but it's kind of turned into "ha ha, lookit the stupid ice-cream. they suck." I know there's a cynical sort of fun in critiquing these frozen treats, but since I'm sure kids will still eat it and enjoy it, it's not as much fun anymore. I'm getting that same feeling I used to get watching adult fanboys fight for a Power of the Force Boba Fett at Toys R Us, and realizing that toy wasn't ever going to be touched by a child.
