To celebrate the upcoming series debut of The Patrick Star Show, ” Nickelodeon will launch an activation surrounding one of Patrick Star’s favorite treats, ice cream. From Friday, July 2 through Friday, July 23, two Nickelodeon The Patrick Star Show branded ice cream trucks will hit the streets of Los Angeles and New York City where brand ambassadors will pass out complimentary custom pink popsicles to patrons while supplies last.
All popsicles flavors will be pink including; strawberry, strawberry lemonade, pineapple mango, watermelon, root beer float, Florida orange, frozen hot chocolate, key lime coconut, and coffee roast.
