Comment on This is NOT his you make a popsicle
idkwhatimdoing@sh.itjust.works 1 year agoBeing wrapped in plastic has absolutely no effect on it. The bacteria likely to colonize are already in there, but keeping it frozen keeps them from multiplying, unless it melts. And many such colonies (botulism, for example) thrive in hypoxic environments, so being wrapped can actually make it worse. And corn syrup or any other substitute is just as bad as sugar.

Brother, we used to buy freeze pops in the supermarket that came in liquid form, and then were frozen by us in our freezer. They're still sold this way. You're making something out of nothing, and then doubling down on that nothing.

A product intended to be sold that way. Steak and slim jims are both beef (in theory), but I wouldn’t recommend storing them the same way…
I’m far from guaranteeing that the popsicle from the picture would make you sick, I’m just saying I wouldn’t trust it with no telling how long it sat around melted before refreezing, and almost definitely not something processed for that type of storage.
