Yes, It’s A “New England Clam Chowder Popsicle!”
OK, now that you’ve seen this, you can NEVER UNSEE IT.
Yes, it’s a Campbell Soup New England Clam Chowder Popsicle, and guess what folks:
IT’S REAL!!!!!
Here’s how it all began:
Eater.com reported recently on the origin of this wacky food:
“Boston Magazine found the frozen treat while trawling the depths of the r/Boston subreddit, where a user posted a photo of the popsicle — apparently birthed from the unholy union of a Campbell’s can of chunky New England clam chowder, a popsicle mold, and a freezer — with the caption “Summah is here! #NewEngland #clamchowdah.” (The photo had been making the rounds on Reddit for a few days, but Boston Magazine can be blamed for elevating it to national attention.)”
Yes, another example of the power of investigative reporting…
So there you go: someone’s friend made it, they ate it, social media devoured it, and now we have to live with it!
With all due respect to Campbell Soup, who does make a nice canned chowder, this is NOT how we should be treating this soup!
Clams need to be respected – remember THIS product?
A Miracle Hangover Cure!
Yes, it’s a can filled with the juice of SEVENTY Clams, and it’s a hangover cure! Well, it is if you live in Japan – click my story to get more details on this miracle hangover cure:
Let me know if you are planning to make a “Clam Chowder Popsicle” anytime soon!

A resounding No!
That’s why it’s a “What The Friday?!?!?!”
I know… Haha.. I can still say No though…
Don’t worry Carol – EVERYONE DID!
Yep..noticed that, John,…Looking for to the next post always so interesting 🙂 x Have a lovely week 🙂
I think that paper should rethink calling this a frozen ‘treat. More like a nightmare 🤤
Cant disagree but that’s why it’s a “What The Friday!?!?!” Thanks for the comment!
HA! Indeed, that’s why it’s a “What The Friday?”
Nope I won’t be making them soon. My first thought was what other cans do they have to make Popsicle with? Tomato soup? You find the best stuff!!!
Thanks for the comment, it seemed, based on the responses, to be exactly what “What The Friday???” is all about!
No!
John, that looks soooooo unappealing. I will pass on that Popsicle.
Robbie, I have a VERY unique food item I will be sharing soon – and it’s NOT this – I was fascinated that it went viral, and people wanted to know if it was real – it was, but that doesn’t make it appealing at all! Thanks as always for the comment and for sharing it!
I love clam chowder soup in a bowl. I don’t think I will love it cold and on a stick. So in the new future I don’t think I will be making this any time soon. thanks for sharing it.
Yes, I agree….but it’s the kind of “What The Friday?!” thing that caught my attention, and interesting that it was, in fact, real! Thanks for commenting!
On balance, I would sooner drink the Japanese hangover cure than eat the ice lolly. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
Pete, a bowl of “HOT” Clam Chowder is a great thing…ice cold on a stick? Not so much! Thanks as always for the comment, hope the weather is good for you!
Warming up thanks, John. No rain for the last two days! 🙂
Noooooo
Unfortunately, the answer was “YESSSSSSSSS!” That said, I can’t imagine it was anything more than a funny joke someone pulled on a friend!
