Eating The Rich Never Tasted So Good Thanks To These Popsicles

The phrase "eat the rich" has been making the rounds on social media, but the idea of physically eating a rich person is highly unlikely, to say the least. But an art collective called MSCHF has found a quirky and, thankfully, not-so-gross way for the hungry proletariat to eat the rich.

This week, MSCHF announced a line of popsicles inspired by—but also poking fun at—billionaires like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Bill Gates. A website for the popsicles encourages you to "Munch Musk," "Bite Bezos," and "Gobble Gates." The pops also come in Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Ma varieties (or, flavors?).

Those eager to eat the rich can get their hands on one of MSCHF's popsicles by stopping by their ice cream truck pop-ups in Los Angeles and New York City from now until July 13. On July 12, the ice cream truck will head to McCarren Park in Brooklyn and The Grove in Los Angeles, and on July 13 the it will roll onto Hollywood Boulevard and New York's Washington Square Park.

It's unclear what the rich taste like, but based on a disclaimer on the MSCHF website that states that the popsicles contain milk, it's safe to say that they're a combination of ice cream and bubble gum eyes (a true popsicle staple).

As ironic as it may sound, eating the rich does come with a price—$10 to be exact. That's how much one of the frozen treats costs.

Hey, there's always Mister Softee.
