Mr. Joy Soft Italian Ices -Ships Non Frozen Assorted Flavors Cool Cups Variety Pack (20 x 2.89oz) - Freeze & Enjoy - 20 Pantry-safe Italian Ices Dessert Cups

This product was better than I expected not only did the kids love it parents too! The only negative comment the lids don’t pull off easy on all the cups, parent assistance for little kids under 5 I’d recommend

I'm a big fan of these little Italian ices. They're a great size; theyre on par with your usual grocery store ices, though a little taller instead of wide. The flavors are really tasty; there's not a lot of difference between the reds and the blue flavors, but they still taste great. You can tell that they use real sugar instead of HFC. They come in a plastic bag within a box to prevent leaking. The bag I recieved had a little bit of spillage; it was very sticky, though none of the cups I received had leaked. It also took about 2 days for some of the flavors to freeze (but that might just be a concerning sign about my freezer). The tiny wooden spoons were fine; it was very reminiscent of eating ice cream in my childhood. They're an OK value; overall, these are a good find.

Let’s start off with the pros, they taste great! You have to scape rather than scoop when eating these to get the ice on your spoon or wooden stick.Unfortunately the cups are extremely flimsy, so while it states they are pantry safe, I would NOT leave them in the pantry. I dropped on (non frozen) from a height of max six inches, and it exploded everywhere. When I got the product there (it’s in a bag that is in the products box, and then that box is in ANOTHER box), two of them were exploded and leaked all over the rest. Seeing how prone to damage they are, I immediately washed them all and stuck the rest in the freezer. You have to freeze them for A MINIMUM of 8 hours I would say. They all taste great just be careful with how you store them because they are prone to popping everywhere.

Edit 1/20/23: I have added a star. My 8 year old son loved these so much. He ate all of them and to him they were a very special treat. He liked the yellow ones the best. i liked the red ones best.When these arrived, one of them had burst in transit, so I had to rinse the rest off. I put some of each flavor in the freezer and have tried them now. I think I like the red ones the best. When frozen hard, with the included wooden spoon, these are slow treats to eat. You can gradually get bigger spoonfuls as you work your way through it. It is somewhat cold to hold in your hand. I could see children needing to wrap an insulating paper towel around the cups. Adults have enough hand strength to hold the cups stable by the plastic lip on top, but small children may need to grip it securely to get a purchase with the spoon. Overall, I think these are a nice treat.

I tried one of each flavor and I was suprised at just how sweet they were. The flavors are good and reminded me of otter-pops but they were very syrupy. For some reason all but the blue ones took more than 36 hours to freeze, the blue ones took a little over 24 hours but it's still alot longer than the suggested six hours.Overall they're alright but I think I'll stick to buying ice pops.

I think these are really yummy. I even liked the yellow flavor a lot that I didn't think I would like. One did come leaking but that's not a big deal because they put it in a bag and I was able to just rinse them off and freeze it and need it anyways. It was just that the plastic cracked. No big deal. Not a lot had leaked out or was lost. I think all the flavors are really great and the kids just really love these but so did all the adults. I would definitely get these again and I think they are fantastic and your family will really enjoy them.

These are good but not quite the same as the Italian ices that I remember from childhood. The flavors are somewhat muted. I was expecting more of a lemony tartness from the lemon one and the blue raspberry was disappointing too which is sad because that's my favorite flavor.Several of them had burst open on arrival so I had to rinse everything off and dry them before popping them into the freezer. They freeze super solid so using the little wooden scoopers is a challenge until they thaw out some. It gets easier as time goes on so you have to be a little patient. The kids used their front teeth to start scraping away immediately since waiting is not their forte.I like that they're shelf stable and you can put as many or as few into the freezer at a time. That way there's room for actual food as well as ice treats.

These Italian ices are so tasty! I'm surprised by how flavorful they are. I like to let it melt a little for the best taste. They freeze well, but I sped up the process by putting them in the ice tray in the freezer. Only downsides are: Theres A LOT of sugar in them, it's like 24 grams of sugar per cup. And the cups are on the smaller side.
