Mmm! Influenza and cactus!
 
Though the popsicles are made of sugar, water and food coloring, and thus completely harmless, the spiked shapes of the cacti and the germy shapes of the diseases are immediately off-putting.

The popsicles, besides being humorous and perfectly edible, are an exploration of how humans interact with the world around them.
