Dogs that look like humans got their moment in the spotlight. But what about dessert that resembles dogs? Puppy ice cream is absolutely mystifying — and, some argue, somewhat concerning — and it’s taking the internet by storm. We’ll prove it.
Puppy ice cream from the J.C. Co Art Kitchen in Kaohsiung, Taiwan is quite literally what it sounds like — frozen treats that could be mistaken for living, breathing dogs.
They come in “milk tea,” chocolate and peanut flavors and resemble three different breeds: Labrador Retrievers, pugs and Shar Peis.
It reportedly takes the kitchen up to five hours, using special molds, to make 100 of these puppy ice cream creations.
According to Fox News, each puppy ice cream costs between $110 and $188 Taiwanese dollars, which equates to $3.50 and $6 in the U.S.
Would you take a trip overseas for these?

That being said, when you think of it in terms of consuming normal ice cream, there’s a sure appeal to it.
As one Twitter user admitted, “I can’t lie it looks too good.”
Another pointed out that “no ice cream is too adorable to not eat.”
A third wrote, “I know it’s just ice cream but it seems wrong to me. With all that skill they couldn’t come up with something less controversial? There are parts of the world that do eat dogs…real ones.” This is true. In 2017, Taiwan outlawed the consumption of dog and cat meat, put it’s still legal in many parts of Asia, most commonly China.
One Twitter user replied to that note, “But this one is made of ice cream. Who is getting hurt?”
Whether you’re all for the puppy ice cream or would rather stick to scoops, this trend is definitely one of the most bizarre we’ve seen. (For the record, if humanlike puppy ice cream ever comes out, that’s where I draw the line.)
