Freeze
20-8-2010
During a special event (in 2009) Restaurant Lounge in Frankfurt served popsicles shaped like pistols. Created by the German designers Florian Jenett and Valentin Beinroth. The popsicle was available in the flavors, cherry, licorice, cola and cassis. The designers clearly have a thing with popsicles and pistols. In 2003, they hung up about 50 of them right in the center of Frankfurt. A great idea for dessert at a “who did it?” diner.
