Welcome to Beach, Too Sandy, Water to Wet, a podcast featuring real reviews written by people who just need the world to know what they think.

Between you and me, I wanted to like this podcast, but I'd give it zero stars if I could.

Hello and welcome to Beach Two Sandy Water, Too Wet. This is episode 350. We read shitty reviews for you. And this week we're reading shitty reviews of popsicles. I like the hell. I like no, it's great. But it is so unique in that it's so obvious, but we've never done it before, which is very exciting.

Like there are so many reviews out there and so many popsicles.

And we just, weirdly we just did, well, it's not that weird.

It was just July, but we did a bonus episode for Patreon on about ice cream trucks.

And that I feel like obviously ties really well with this because we discussed you know the one time we actually caught an ice

cream truck down our street and I tried to describe that Alexander doesn't even remember it um but

you know there's something to be said for the lore of those like janky bubblegum popsicles, you know. Yeah, you're right. Something about something should be said. Something about them. Thankfully, there are a lot of reviews that are said about popsicles. Yeah. And to be clear, we're not going to be saying that. Well, we're going to be saying them. We're going to say our own own opinions whether you're like or not but we are going to be reading those of others um and that's

main focus i would say okay setting setting it up for that okay i'm just trying really hard to be less

self-absorbed it's just really difficult so you're a podcaster that's not what your job your job is

to be a self-absorbed as possible. That's what they come here for. You literally do come here to hear us talk. Okay. Do you have what? Do you want to go first? Sure. I have one from Bree, she, her. It's a one-star review. And I'm just going to kind of start with like a softball here. Okay. Like just easy one it's just called awful packaging and it's

written by nana oh nana oh the arthritis sad they gave me two sticks with the same joke i find this

very disrespectful end of review what not even telling the joke people found it unhelpful and zero people found it helpful.

So I think people were looking more for some actual factual.

I mean, what was this of what popsicle?

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't even say.

I think it was just the popsicle brand like classical flavors or whatever.

And they have they have jokes on those I don't

actually know where jokes are on I think they're on the popsicle brand ones oh okay

cool but that's so that's it's tough are we allowed to call this episode popsicles is that so

because that's a brand we're allowed to do whatever the fuck we want I just mean like is it more is it more valid to say ice pops. I have no idea what if we say ice lollies. That's what they say in the UK. I hate it. Yeah, I don't like it. I mean, they say yeah, no, I don't want to do that. Why is it called a popsicle? Thanks for asking internet. I'm pretty sure. Why is it? Like an icicle? Oh yeah. Popsic. Why is it pop? I don't know. It just makes sense. Oh my god. The inventor Frank Epperson initially called his creation Epsicle, but his children nicknamed it Pops. Oh, that's cute. Which was their grandpa. That's, I thought it was going to say
