My youngest sister called one of those early morning commercials for Elastic Plastic when she was 6 and signed my parents up for a recurring charge for it. They knowingly stayed on the phone with a 6 year old for the full purchase, and even asked if she wanted express shipping. She said yes, but don't ring the doorbell because "my mom and dad are still asleep". Took an act of congress to get everything cancelled.

The Amazon interface is 1,000% easier than that whole process.

I takes a lot more than 3 clicks to get almost $3k worth of popsicles, which is my only point.

Bryant’s friend wrote that Amazon would not take back the SpongeBob popsicles.


This is bullshite. As someone who works with kids with Autism, I can tell you kids making insane purchases on parents accounts is something that happens pretty frequently, and amazon always refunds the purchase and understands

I kind of agree but I don't know what their policy is with frozen items so I stayed out of that argument angle

You mean to tell me this 4-year-old clicked all the right buttons on the Amazon app to order all of the popsicles?


I know 50/60-year-olds that can barely run a computer.

So anything is possible.

This kid could could make a fortune on Youtube and TikTok. The Spongebob popsicles are notoriously badly produced and there are unwrapping videos with millions of views in search of the perfect Spongebob popsicle. Watching someone unwrap Spongebob popsicles and other antics is a thing.



Its such a thing, that they make Spongebob Popsicle collector figurines.
