Skippi ‘Shark Tank’ Ice Pops have made their way into the headlines!
If you love Ice pops then you would be thrilled to know that an Indian startup brand has introduced Ice Chuski pops which are entirely made from natural flavors. Skippi Ice Pops, a Hyderabad-based brand was co-founded and launched by Anuja & Ravi who found an untapped market opportunity.
Started in 2021, this brand purely worked around bringing back old-school day memories through flavorful Ice Pops and wanted to re-introduce this favorite frozen fruit snack in a better and tastier form.
Why better?
Because Skippi Ice Pops are made using 100% natural color, flavors with no added artificial sweeteners or preservatives. The colors and flavors utilized are all derived from fruit and vegetable extracts hence still preserving the fun aspect. You can find Skippi Ice pops on multiple major online marketplaces, including Amazon, Flipkart, Snapdeal, Swiggy Instamart, Zepto and our website. Skippi Ice-Pops comes in exciting flavours including raspberry, orange, cola, mango twist, bubblegum, and lemon. It is interesting to know that these ice pops are marketed in liquid form at room temperature and which has helped us to remove cold storage from the supply chain. To freeze the ice pops, they must be frozen overnight.

7 个月I wish to express a serious concern regarding the packaging of Skippi ice pops. It appears to be substandard and poses a potential danger to children. The design seems unscientific and features sharp ends that can cause severe harm. My children hurt their mouth eating these popsicles. It's surprising that product endorsed by shark investors, would have such low-quality packaging. I urge for immediate attention to this matter to ensure the safety of consumers, particularly children.
