Recently, the Popsicle brand announced that the classic Spongebob popsicle will no longer have gumball eyes. Instead, the eyes were replaced with small chocolate balls. “The Popsicle brand is always looking for ways to improve their products and made the decision to remove the gumballs," the brand said in a statement. "Gumballs will be replaced with a thin chocolatey layer for the eyes instead. This new version is available in stores now."
"We know that this product is beloved by many, and we hope our fans will enjoy the new and improved design," it concluded.
TikTok user @brenttelevision took offense to this change, posting a video to his page looking for the original gumball eyes. When he opened the newly altered treat, he was clearly upset “Popsicle, what are you doing?” Replies on TikTok also disapproved of the changes: "‘What. Is. This. Insanity,’" one commenter wrote, while another said, "I'm sad now."
