Aw, I just got a wedding invitation in the mail for some family friends, and they are the kind of couple where you are super duper happy for each of them that they found each other. So that's nice! Although my train of thought at the mailbox was kind of funny... Seeing the envelope: "I don't know anyone getting married, do I?" Turning it over: "Who do I know in Cambridge?" (besides like everyone, but I didn't recognize the address) Opening it: "AWWW!"
Wait. People? She eats people? 'To Serve Man.' It's 'To Serve Man' all over again.

ION, if I didn't make popsicles sweet enough, can I just melt them down and try again?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I think this is my favorite part of their FAQ:
Is running with the bulls dangerous?
Of course! Much like rock climbing, mountain biking, skydiving and other extreme sports, running with live bulls is an inherently dangerous activity (which is why it’s so thrilling). By participating in the run, you accept the risk that you might be trampled, gored, rammed or tossed in the air by a bull, or bumped, jostled, tripped or trampled by your fellow runners. We do what we can to minimize those risks by using less-aggressive bulls than those used in Spain and allowing runners to hide in nooks and climb over the track fence if necessary, but make no mistake: you could get seriously injured in this event. That’s why there’s a mandatory insurance fee during the registration process and medical staff on site.

can I just melt them down and try again?
Yup. I've done it, it's fine.
Eta: unless you've got different layers you want to keep separate. That would be tricky. But I assume you would have mentioned it if that was an issue.
