  Yep - probably not safe to eat.

    It’s just water and flavour. Nothing dangerous about it, except for the wooden stick.

      Water is like the best environment there is for microorganisms.

      Freezing doesn’t make unsafe food safe, it can only keep already safe food, safe.

      If something frozen, anything, was unfrozen at any point, you can’t know for how long, or in what conditions. Hence, re-frozen products should not be consumed.

        Literally nothing can live in pure water. What matters is everything else in the Popsicle, which is mostly processed sugar. Processed sugar is a preservative and will prevent bacterial growth.

        The existence of grog confirms it 🫵

        That thing is pure sugar, water, color and aroma, unless it’s a milk based ice you are almost certainly fine even if you leave it out for years…

      So you’d drink weeks-old kool-ade if it hadn’t been refrigerated? Water and sugar is an ideal breeding ground and food source for a vast number of different bacteria.

        It’s wrapped in plastic. Besides, I’m not sure there’s actual sugar in those things. Most I’ve seen were all additives.

        relevant user name.

        Ever notice that you don’t need to refrigerate candy? Processed sugar is such a bad food source for bacteria, you can actually use it as a preservative. The melted Popsicle will rot eventually, if it stays wet, but the likely first organism in will be a yeast.

        There is nothing about a soft drink that will get bad or harmful even after months…

  Would pay to see it in its used-fruity-sharp-condom phase
