this frozen dessert is also known as an ice pop, popsicle, paleta, lollipop, lolly, ice lolly, icy pole, ice block, ice drop, ice gola, ice candy, ai tim tang, ice cream tang, and kisko. whatever you call these flavored frozen something-or-others on a stick, these recalled ones have a secret ingredient: glass

and that glass has best before dates all the way into november 2027.

for whatever reason, the FDA has made it unnecessarily difficult to tell if you have any of these recalled outshine fruit bars. more on that towards the bottom. I (rune) went ahead and made the batch information easier to read, because it feels extra bad imagining people panicking through the recall announcement trying to figure out if they or their children possibly ate glass.

if you have an affected box, do NOT eat it. throw it out or return it to the store for a refund. make sure everyone else you know does the same, because eating glass can cause unwanted side effects. such as death

🇺🇸 US food recall links | how to report a problem with food 🇺🇸

August 18, 2026 - Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream, Inc. is voluntarily recalling a limited number of select flavors of Outshine Fruit Bars due to possible foreign material contamination with glass. Products affected include Outshine Strawberry, Watermelon, Grape, Tangerine and Black Cherry 6-Count 2.5 ounce Fruit Bars and the Outshine 24-Count 2.5 ounce Variety Pack Fruit Bars. These lots were distributed to retailers nationwide.

"limited number" and "select flavors" are doing a lot of heavy lifting for a nationwide recall where the contaminated fruit bars were distributed to too many retailers to list.

No other Outshine products or varieties are impacted. ONLY the five flavors of 6 Count (2.5-oz bars) and Outshine Variety 24-Count (2.5-oz bars) Fruit Bars. Batch codes can be identified on the product packaging.

really neat thing to emphasize after dreyer's original recall failed to list every product affected by the glass contamination. this post is actually about the expanded recall. surprise!

the original version of this line was, "No other Outshine products or varieties are impacted. ONLY the five flavors of 6ct 2.5-ounce paddle bars."

no need to worry about our other products being affected by glass contamination, unless you trusted us the last time we said this...a whole three days ago! move on

Dreyer’s is taking this action out of an abundance of caution following consumer reports of glass found in the product. No illnesses or injuries have been reported to date. Anyone concerned about an injury should contact a healthcare provider immediately. Consumers who have purchased the affected product should dispose of it or return it to their place of purchase for a full refund.

as is the case with countless food recalls, dreyer's only discovered their desserts were contaminated with glass and subsequently issued this recall after multiple heroes reported issues with their food. no glass-related injuries have been reported yet, but...be real, chances are good someone already ate some amount of glass. if that sounds like you, dreyer's says to pursue medical attention (or at least professional medical advice) immediately.

even if the glass only slices your digestive tract a teeny tiny bit, any possible germs on said glass (and anything else you eat afterwards) get expedite delivered directly into those cuts and might lead to a serious infection. consumed glass could also become embedded somewhere on the way in, on the way down, and on the way out of your body. a scenario like that could require surgery to remove the glass.

if you do accidentally eat glass, PLEASE report it to both the FDA and to dreyer's to get your injuries officially recorded. the more heroes who report injuries and illnesses from their food, the more these issues get taken seriously, the more people find out about them, the more other people can be protected, and the more easily other victims can receive medical care and possibly compensation. in a worst case scenario, eating glass or food contaminated with mystery germs can result in lifelong disability or death. please help save lives.

The safety, quality, and integrity of our products remain our highest priority. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this action may cause our consumers and retail customers. We remain committed to maintaining the highest standards of food safety and quality and to earning the trust of our consumers and customers every day.

...which is why the dreyer's primary official website, icecream.com, definitely contains a prominent warning about outshine fruit bars containing glass? or at the very least a search result for "recall"? surely someone who claims safety as a "highest priority" would never half-ass communication about actual glass, right? (whoops!)

none of this PR bullshit matters. dreyer's should have at least had a prominent banner and recall page template ready, filled out, and published by now. plenty of other food manufacturers manage that part just fine. despite dreyer's PR pinky promises, they already extensively fumbled this recall. my (rune!) sympathies to anyone else devastated by dreyer's performance. and also the glass

alright, now here is where things get confusing. on the FDA's table listing the specific recalled products: product packaging (name and quantity) and UPC (identifying product number) both say "see image below". the batch code/best before date column is still correctly filled in, albeit attached to incomplete information.

the FDA apparently expects everyone to look at the blurry-as-shit images, transcribe flavors and UPCs in order, and then link them to the incomplete table. possibly while racing against the melting of their creamless ice. keep in mind, recall announcements do frequently contain errors, including having their associated photos incorrectly ordered or labeled. but the tables are usually at least completed.

so, where exactly is the list of recalled flavors and UPCs in plain text to know for sure? especially if the images are too blurry to read?

...hidden within the fucking alt text!!!!!!

and so it was up to me (rune!!) to utilize my expert hacker accessibility alt text skills and format this information for the tragically-tableless tumblr. why these steps were skipped over on the FDA website with full table capabilities in favor of making people hunt for it, I (rune!!!) have no fucking clue. rough times at the US FDA

reminder that tumblr natively supports alt text on both desktop and mobile, and more people should be using it. after attaching a photo, click on the meatball menu/3 dots to add a brief description.

rune (me) recall pro tip: to check your bars, take pictures of the box and then promptly put it back in the freezer. do not keep the box out while looking through the numbers. otherwise, much like the eventual fate of all things on our fragile earth, your treats might disappear into memory

RECALLED OUTSHINE FRUIT BARS, THEIR UPCS, BATCH CODES, AND BEST BEFORE DATES (see bottom of package) BELOW THE CUT

first. schizophrenic people arent "worth caring about because they have empathy", but because they're people. people without emotional/affective empathy deserve care too. using the word "psychopath" as a negative point of comparison to establish your innocence is stepping on others to stand higher yourself.

second. drawing hard lines around what is and isn't a delusion can also be damaging. the original post says that "being obsessed with someone who doesn't reciprocate isn't a delusion", but definitely can be one! it's just not inherently a delusion. I agree wholeheartedly that we ought to be careful about over-labelling things as delusions when we mean something else. we don't want to make it harder for people to explain their struggles or get the care they need, but we should be careful not to make broad sweeping statements of gatekeeping as well. delusions can be almost anything. It's not about the subject of the belief itself, but it's relationship to our shared reality, how it responds to being challenged, etc...

another thing that stuck out to me was the phrase "delusions aren't funny". In some regards this is a completely reasonable thing to say, important even. there are a lot of ways and situations where schizophrenia and delusions in particular are made light of harmfully, with phrases like "delulu" and "schizoposting" being somewhat prolific, as well as jokes directly mocking schizophrenics like "I'm in your walls". in this sense, delusions aren't funny. they're not jokes for others peoples amusement, and we shouldn't mock them like this.

That said, I also think that delusions can be funny. To my understanding, it's actually fairly common to come out of an episode and look at the things you said or did, or the delusions held, and find humor in them. just the other day I saw someone on reddit having a laugh at their own "math discoveries" they made during an episode because of how silly they seemed in retrospect.

Delusions can be very serious, but they can also be mundane, silly things. they don't have to be the end of the world, and if your view of delusions are so strict, you may miss early signs of an episode coming on for you or a loved one. and it can be completely fine to have a laugh about things after the fact, if you(/the person who's delusion it was) find it funny.

before I wrap up I want to emphasize something that post got right, because it's important. people with schizophrenia are significantly more likely to be abused than to abuse someone. schizophrenia has one of the lowest life expectancies of any mental disorder, dying almost 20 years younger on average than the general population, and a lot of that is due to society.

poor treatment, social outcasting/shunning, forced medicalization and involuntary hospitalization all contribute to this.

Don't just be nice to schizophrenic people because it's a super important medical condition that doctors told you is really important and not actually a bad disorder.

treat schizophrenic people well even when they're not diagnosed, even when they are weird or unpleasant, because they're people, and because it's a matter of life and death.

many people see schizophrenia as this out there disorder that is always super extreme, but it's not always visible as schizophrenia to onlookers, and the reverse is also true - anyone can have a psychotic episode if they have a bad enough day due to chronic stress, physical health, or poor reaction to substances (even legal or prescribed ones).

My last words to you are this:

EVERYBODY knows (or should) that you DO. NOT. STOP. in Vidor, Texas. 

It’s best to just run out of gas elsewhere. Whatever you do, black folks, DO NOT STOP IN VIDOR, TEXAS. 

There’s a good chance you’ll get lynched or just come up missing - and I’m not joking.

also do NOT stop in Harrison, Arkansas!!!! (relatively close to OK and MI) a nazi town with a BIG KKK organization.
