You know a news story is going to be good when it has the word "erect" in the first sentence. I bolded the best parts for you, just in case you don't have a dirty mind.
Snapple’s attempt at popsicle world record turns into gooey fiasco
NEW YORK - An attempt to erect the world’s largest popsicle in a city square ended with a scene straight out of a disaster film — but much stickier.
The 25-foot-tall, 17½-ton treat of frozen Snapple juice melted faster than expected Tuesday, flooding Union Square in downtown Manhattan with kiwi-strawberry-flavored fluid that sent pedestrians scurrying for higher ground.
Firefighters closed off several streets and used hoses to wash away the sugary goo.
“What was unsettling was that the fluid just kept coming,” Stuart Claxton of the Guinness Book of World Records told the Daily News. “It was quite a lot of fluid. On a hot day like this, you have to move fast.”
[Insert your own erect/sticky/kiwi-strawberry-flavored fluid/surgary goo/fluid just kept coming joke here.]

Having to wash away a flood of sticky goo with hoses... it's prom night all over again.
Don't ask.
Yeah, whatever marketing intern thought of this stunt should not be allowed to work a helpdesk, let alone an ad campaign. The city was definitely hot as hell. The past two weekends, the flat foots could barely keep up with all the parades. Kevlar is hot in the sun, yo!
Peace.
Erect and sticky mess in the same sentence is even worse! Hahahaha... :)
You said "insert."
heh

I wonder if the genius at Snapple who came up with this brainstorm still has a job...
I think it worked perfectly, they got far more attention for it cocking up than they ever would for it working.... and we get to make jokes about sticky messes!
Is there such a thing as a popsicle prophylactic?
I don't know why anybody would complain. Hell, aside from subway stress tests and STD's nothin' is ever free in New York. Free Snapple! They shoulda' just handed out straws!
This is classic. 17.5 tons of snapple. How many gallons is that? Lets estimate!
1 gallon of water weighs 8 pounds. There are 2000 pounds in a ton. So one ton of water = 250 gallons. Times 17.5 that is 4,375 gallons. Approximatly.
Did anybody get to lick it? Hey, somebody had to ask! :op
The "Peter North" of erections
I wonder if it had a Viagra coating, if it would have stayed 'erect' longer?
