Don't hassle the Hoffsicle! This David Hasselhoff popsicle was recently created by Del Monte Iced Refreshments in honor of National Ice Cream month. The frozen treat is produced solely in Del Monte's Raspberry Iced Smoothie flavor and is carved to look like Hasselhoff's head and torso.
David Hasselhoff himself even approved of the Hoffsicle, telling The Sun that the popsicle "rocks" and that "Like me, it might take a licking but it keeps on ticking."
The anthropomorphic popsicle shows off David Hasselhoff's toned, slightly hairy physique, depicting him wearing a jacket with the collar popped. A thin arc circles around the Hoff's neck, suggesting a necklace or the neckline of a shirt. (I'm guessing it's the former.) Would you ever try the Hoffsicle?
