This peeling Banana Popsicle, recently spotted in Hong Kong, certainly takes the cake as one of the most interesting frozen treats to exist. While the Banana popsicle literally peels down like a banana, its flavor is grape and vanilla.
The fact that the Banana Popsicle allows one to peel down part of the frozen treat to reach the center is quite bizarre. The packaging for the popsicle features a monkey and the Nestle logo in the top corner. I am curious as to if and when this uniquely designed Banana Popsicle will make its way over to the western hemisphere
