Snapple's 20-Ton Popsicle Melts In New York

[matcom]

<snip>

NEW YORK --Snapple's attempt at a new Guinness world record has ended in a sticky mess.

But the so-called "ice scraper" turned out to be an ice-dud.

So much of the ice pop melted en route that the protective covering sprang a leak and the kiwi-strawberry-flavored fluid poured onto the streets.

Firefighters had to clean up the mess.

The world-record-attempt event wasn't a total loss, though.

Kids who gathered to watch got free ice pops from Snapple.
