BoddaH1994 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 You may have noticed a new tasty treat around Kings Island this year. The "Fudge Push Pop" was invented in-house by a long-time employee who created many of the flavors of fudge sold in Kings Island's Fudge Shop to this day. Don't be fooled - these aren't frozen. They're actually made of the same fudge that's found in the shop. The container allowed for more creativity with the presentation and flavors as well as the ability to more easily take it home to share with friends and family. You'll notice some differences between this and the fudge. Mainly it's the varieties available. If you look at the photo above, the simple "fudge" flavor is sprinkled with M&M's and there's even a Ice Cream Sundae flavor! Oh, and the cherry on top of the Ice Cream Sundae flavor? Cherry-flavored fudge! This is definitely something you'll want to check out on your next visit to Kings Island. They are available in limited locations immediately but should be available at almost all merchandise stores at the park within the next week. Enjoy! 16 Quote
Sonofbeast2.0 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 They look cool and probably taste great! But I have one and major concern... How much are they selling for? 3 Quote
Sonofbeast2.0 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 That seems a little high to me but doesn't mean I won't try it. I think $4 or maybe even $3.50 wouldn't be bad. Quote
Ride On_17 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Sounds really good! What a unique concept, and I'm sure it's delicious. 2 Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Posted May 15, 2014 I should also add that there is a Blue Ice Cream flavor that uses the blue ice cream flavoring that the cones use. It was the original flavor from like two weeks ago. 8 Quote
Magenta Lizard Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Considering what happened when I neglected my blue cone for a couple minutes trying to juggle it and my phone to take a pic of the noodle (the ice cream started melting everywhere, luckily my tank top was the same color as the ice cream) I think maybe I will have to try out the fudge version. 3 Quote
markr Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Always loved KI's fudge ( better than CP's and they have great fudge) but, my word, in the past few years, it seems like I have had to mortgage my home to pay for it-the price has nearly tripled in the past few years. However compared to the current price of a 1/4 lb piece of fudge $5 seems less pricy for this new treat. Cannot really tell how big the portion is unless I see it in person. At any rate looks plum tasty. 1 Quote

At any rate looks plum tasty. They're as large as they look in the photo. $5 is a decent price, compared to other similar candy options based on the size. I can't wait to hear what you and everybody else thinks once they try them! Quote
beastfan11 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Seriously, fudge is the only thing my ex would buy me at the park last year. Stuff was delicious. Now that she's gone, more fudge for me! Aha! The single life... 6 Quote
vermillionlove Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Hmmmm... I'll take one of each, thank you! 1 Quote

The single life...I like your attitude. Seriously, go for those buckeyes on International Street. The satisfying taste replaces the loneliness in my soul. You won't even notice the lingering depression and regret. I'm kidding, maybe. 4 Quote

You won't even notice the lingering depression and regret. I'm kidding, maybe. But hey... with those Fudge Push Pops you can stock up for a few days. I mean, it's not like you can necessarily go and buy one every day. You've gotta stockpile. 1 Quote
beastfan11 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 That's all my fridge is going to be. Kings Island fudge pops and Miller High Life. I'll see you kids on the train this summer. Choo. Choo. 4 Quote

CharleyTheDinosaur Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 What kind of wizardry is this? I may just have to try one of these. Now if only they could make Larosa's pizza into a push up form. 4 Quote
Webble78 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 God how I wish I wasn't diabetic! These look great! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

I can't wait to hear what you and everybody else thinks once they try them! Which on my screen is only 2" tall! Seriously, though! I can't wait to try my fave, which is the Dreamsicle -- and it looks like they've included an "orange slice" on top! 2 Quote
Miythandria Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Every time I go to KI, I buy myself a Buckeye to munch on the long walk back to my car. And those Dreamsicles look delicious! Quote
Sonofbeast2.0 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Stuff like this, I like! Each park needs it's own feel, for rides, for food, for entertainment, for scenery! I feel things will keep changing for the better for KI and CF as a whole, at least as long as Ouimet is in charge! Something I think that would be cool is if Cf took a Wizarding World of Harry Potter approach and gave the Peanuts gang their own special drink line, that can't be found at any other place than a CF amusement park. (granted this is uni-formal, but I think it would be cool!) 2 Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Posted May 15, 2014 Well, don't forget that it wasn't Ouimet who created this. It was a seasonal employee. Now, if the mentality of innovation is coming down from above, I don't know... 2 Quote
Gabe Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 How is the hot sauce selling? I don't even recall where it can be bought... Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Posted May 15, 2014 I've seen the hot sauce in the DB gift shop. Quote
Magenta Lizard Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Even if a seasonal employee has an idea, chances are it won't be implemented without support from above. Being a good manager isn't all about the things you personally do, but how you make use of the skills of those you manage. 5 Quote
markr Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Looks like you lost out on the chance for a rich wife-I mean if she could afford to buy fudge all the time she had to be rich at those prices. Note: was trying to quote Miythandria's post above. Quote
markr Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Actually I do have a new fav tasty treat this season-The Banshee Berries and Cream. Mmmmm, mmmmmm. Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Money isn't everything trust me.. One of my Ex's thought I was going to commit suicide because I ordered a Pepperoni/Mushroom pizza and she thought they were poisonous.. I was happy that relationship ended. 3 Quote

(granted this is uni-formal, but I think it would be cool!) Butterbeer worked because it was already a thing in the source material. You read the books and see it in the movie and are like, "I wonder what that tastes like!". Same thing with Duff Beer that's at USO now. Disney has tried to copy its success, but it's just not going to work unless it's something people already want. There's nothing in the Peanuts universe I can think of that is quite like Butterbeer. Now, blue ice cream soda, on the other hand... 1 Quote
Tanna Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 This idea is brilliant! Congrats to the inventor. And five dollars isn't too much, considering the cost that goes into making fudge. Fudge is one of the few things I can make (along with funnel cakes and caramel) and the price of the ingredients has skyrocketed. 1 Quote
