This ice cream looks (almost) too real and people are super curious to try them

If you’ve been scrolling through TikTok or Instagram lately, you’ve probably seen this little masterpiece. This isn’t your regular scoop; these desserts are shaped like hyper-realistic mangoes and peaches, with details so perfect they could fool anyone. Naturally, curious Egyptians are on a mission to find out if it tastes as good as it looks. Spoiler alert: Taste-test videos are taking over the internet faster than you can say “mango!”

Buuutt… is the price tag just as sweet as the mango?

Before you rush out to snag one, here’s a heads-up: this mango-shaped treat comes with a not-so-sweet price tag—EGP 200 a pop! Yep, this isn’t your average corner-store ice cream. But hey, for a viral trend that doubles as a mini art piece, maybe it’s worth splurging for the ‘Gram?

The trend started all the way in Japan back in 2023 and here we are hopping on the train

Here’s where it gets even more interesting: this isn’t just a dessert; it’s a good luck charm! Back in 2023, the trend blew up in Japan when rumors started swirling that eating this ice cream would bring you good luck for the year ahead. The hype got so real that people were practically lining up around the block to grab one.

Fast forward to 2025, and now Egyptians are joining in on the fun, hoping their mango ice cream comes with a sprinkle of good fortune for the year ahead. It’s like a magic fortune cookie, but way cuter and a lot tastier.
