Lion Lickers

"Lion Lickers" are ice cream popsicles that first appeared in "Gem Glow".

History
In "Gem Glow", Lars explains to Steven that Cookie Cats were discontinued because no one was buying them and Lion Lickers were taking over the market. Steven insists that nobody likes them and "they don't even look like lions". In "Lion 3: Straight to Video", Lion shows some interest in the snack, possibly because he is also a lion.

Appearance
The snack is pale yellow. It is shaped to look like a lion's head, such as its golden mane, its eyes, etc., but the features are partially distorted from melting. It has a popsicle stick inside of it. It is sold in a plastic packaging with stylized written form of "Lion Lickers" in the shape of a lion. In the Big Donut, packages of it are in a display freezer.

Trivia

 * The misshapen gumball eyes is most likely a reference to the appearance of many ice cream products, most of which based on licensed characters.
 * Steven doesn't like Lion Lickers, stating in "Lion 3: Straight to Video" that "they are gross".
 * Though Lion enjoys Lion Lickers, as seen when he chose it when Steven was trying to figure out what to eat, and again in "Nightmare Hospital".
 * Steven uses this treat to keep Lion stationary while he and Connie attempt to retrieve Rose's sword in "Nightmare Hospital".


 * Amethyst has a broken Lion Lickers display freezer in her room.
 * It's very likely that Lion Lickers ran its rival product Cookie Cat out of business.
 * Steven may not like them not because they are bad, but because they replaced his favorite ice cream sandwich and he doesn't like the change rather than the sandwich itself.
