Two girls, one popsicle?

two girls, one popsicle -- zero steampunk ...

More girls playing ukuleles, please!

Disappointing Popsicle: My favorite 60s pop music act!

At least the real popsicle didn't have a bite already taken out of it.

Oh just eat it already.

I missed the non resemblance to the box because I was too busy seeing the angel made from the dripping chocolate. It's obviously a sign that god is angry with shoddy ice cream makers.

You're right the ice cream cone you were sold doesn't look exactly the same as the painting on the side of the ice cream truck. Good eye!

In this case I think the lack of resemblance is probably the result of improper storage: it melted and refroze.
