"I put these in the freezer as a little freezer pop for my Scooby and he just loves these so much."

"There was a terrible rotten smell, as we emptied the thing to find the source several of the packets had burst while a couple others were puffy filled with gas. It wasn't a lot but as time went on with the tubes others started filling with gases."
