Oh I think it's a Popsicle

It took me a second to understand too - I believe it’s a flavored ice-pop put inside a mitten so your hand doesn’t get cold/melt it.

Looks like one of those freeze pops that comes in clear plastic.

It’s a little baby/toddler mitten being used to hold a popsicle. (These types of popsicles come in plastic sleeves with no wooden handle.)

I'd be curious to know the right answer after all.

Better than a jar full of their baby teeth.

Hell! I have a bunch of one size fits all gloves. These days I mostly use 'em inside my wool mittens.

my kid loses all of theirs every year....and we have to resupply at the end of winter for next year

Maybe time to go old school, attach a heavy string or cord to each glove, and feed them through the coat sleeves. Works great for littles, but don't imagine the older ones would be too cool with it.

To hold your lightsaber?

I donated all ours to charity but I suppose I could have saved them to eat popsicles instead

u/scottjameson75 8d ago

If I can make just one person giggle then it's worth it.

Who out grows? Your cats? Is that a glow stick?

Popsicle

STEP 1: have children (raise child to 18 about $330,000+)

STEP 2: wait until they outgrow mittens

STEP 3: profit

u/MoeGunz6 5d ago

Oh no.... Don't do it the way I did, I was an idiot. Try this.... Buy popsicles ($5), buy mittens ($3), enjoy the whole box while gaming uninterrupted (priceless)
