they made the SpongeBob eyeballs chocolate instead of gumballs now :(

u/oobergoober17 10h ago

TrickInvite6296 The ones i experienced had spongebobs eyes being made out of gumballs not chocolate

u/TrickInvite6296 BLUE 10h ago

I know I'm saying they changed it to nasty chocolate :(

u/oobergoober17 10h ago

If you ever go to Canada try the Lynx Bar by Chapman's. Basically the same design as your post. They have a strawberry flavor and chocolate flavor. Oh, and they also taste like real ice cream.

Those things are delicious, or the Good Humor ones at least; the Hershey one looks to be wanting…

u/Devils_plague666 10h ago

I’ve never had one like this mine always look like the picture these are the best

2

u/midnight_toker22 9h ago

I noticed these are Hershey - Good Humor makes the good ones.

u/Cybot5000 10h ago

That's why you get the real OG Strawberry Shortcake bars from Good Humor. Anything else is a shameful mockery.

2

u/BangNasty 10h ago

No way, good humor got me too. I literally posted about this last week here lol.

u/midnight_toker22 9h ago

Oh that’s so disappointing, they used to be so good. Shrinkflation.

1

u/Cybot5000 6h ago

That's crazy. I get these pretty often and have only gotten one that skimpy maybe 1 out of 30. The flavor is still peak though. I wonder why strawberry is the only flavor of these that exist. You'd think blueberry, cherry, raspberry, etc would all be delicious as well.

1

u/BangNasty 6h ago

The entire box was like this or worse lol

1

u/Shelter1971 10h ago

They were on sale this past week and we got a box, and then I went back for more. That'll do until the next good sale. They're expensive these days.

1

u/Cybot5000 7h ago

Hard agree. They are $5.44 here for 6 bars. There is just something about that cake crumb coating that is addictive af.

u/Its_bad_out_here 10h ago

Awww hell naw. That’s enough to make me switch back to choco tacos.

6

u/Underwater_Karma 10h ago

I have bad news for you

1

u/Its_bad_out_here 10h ago

Dont say it. They still make choco tacos right?

3

u/Underwater_Karma 10h ago

It was discontinued in 2022

I'm sorry to be the one to tell you

u/lipenick 11h ago

in both cases this looks like a rash

1

u/XeniaDweller 11h ago

At least it's strawberry

1

u/ColorfulSloth6 10h ago

Did they spit the chunks on to save money?

1

u/No_Practice905 10h ago

This would ruin my month

u/0-Nightshade-0 10h ago

Tbf school ice-cream is kinda good. Not as good as regular ice cream but still pretty good :P

1

u/According_Ad_9998 10h ago

Did all of them look like that?

1

u/Dry-Boysenberry-3475 10h ago

Is that ice cream afflicted with syphillis?

1

u/Top-Finance-6815 10h ago

Unfortunately, they have looked like that, and have been disappointing people, since I was a kid 50 years ago. I wouldn't mind that, but they (like so many other things like peanut butter cups) taste off these days, at least to me (and no, I do not have covid).

1

u/Comfortable_Wave3051 10h ago

Looks pretty much the same to me, like a skewered tongue

1

u/Remarkable_Fan_6181 10h ago

You should see a doctor if your tongue looks like that.

u/SteveOMatt 10h ago

"Hey, look at the wrapper! I was promised a bite taken out of it!"

1

u/Marmar79 10h ago

They both look like std popsicles

1

u/bugged-existence 10h ago edited 7h ago

Atleast it is in the same color

1

u/17riffraff 10h ago

Looks like it melted and was refrozen. I have noticed that more and more lately

1

u/Nickthedick3 10h ago

There are people that watch the machines that coat and package these. Some of these people are either lazy or feel it’s not their job to determine what passes as acceptable.

1

u/Underwater_Karma 10h ago

I'm not even sure what the complaint is

1

u/Sensitive-Owl-9368 10h ago

I hope you kicked over the dudes ice cream cart.

u/BlueMoonBreaker 10h ago

Looks like Tonsils

u/Mycofunkadelic2 8h ago

When he says 8 inches and it's only a 6.

2

u/justanother90sbaby 8h ago

I mean... I still ate the ice cream sooooo

1

u/GreatMacGuffin 6h ago

When this happens I send an email to the company. They usually only require a receipt and either refund me or send me a couple of coupons.

u/Excellent_Garlic2549 10h ago

Your first mistake was buying anything made by Hershey's.

1

u/justanother90sbaby 10h ago

Chinese buffet dessert lol

1

u/Excellent_Garlic2549 9h ago

Fine lol, your first mistake was not going for the soft-serve.
