    The issue wasn’t opening them initially, the issue was with the flat edges on the sides where the two sides were fused together, and along which the layer of connected popsicles were connected. You put the popsicle in your mouth and it felt like you were slicing the corners of you mouth with a razor blade.

    Maybe you had a really large mouth as a child? Idk. Now I’m wondering how you hurt yourself with these things lol.

      That’s what I mean, I didn’t!

      The plastic wasn’t a danger unless you were doing something absurd like putting plastic in your mouth and then tightening your lips to a dangerous degree. And that would be very easy to stop doing, you just… Don’t hold so tight with your mouth.

      It’s not like you eat these like drinking a thick milkshake. You suck too hard, you pull all the flavor out and are left with flavorless ice. I would always rather have flavored juice left over

        Ah see that’s where you’re mistaken. The concentrated hit of flavor juice was like kiddie crack.

        Edit - you said you opened them like three times with your teeth then only used scissors from then on, so I assumed you hurt yourself during the opening process.

          See, I preferred to save that for the end, so it ended on a high note. Being stuck with boring ice in the end just left me feeling like the whole thing was a bummer.
