Boy Accidentally Buys $2.6K Worth of Popsicles

Entertainment and Lifestyle

A 4-year-old cartoon fanatic from Brooklyn accidentally bought $3,000 worth of nonrefundable SpongeBob SquarePants Popsicles on Amazon.

However, an empathetic good samaratin has set up a GoFundMe page to help cover the cost.

According to the crowdfunding page, the “truly adorable” Noah “managed to purchase $2,618.85 worth” of the popsicles from Amazon and “had them sent to his Auntie’s house.”

“In case you are wondering, that’s 51 cases, containing 918 popsicles,” Katie Schloss, a New York University student and social-work intern, wrote of the incident.

Amazon will not refund the Popsicles. Noah’s mom, Jennifer Bryant, thought she would have to cover the entirety of the costs herself.

This was a big problem for the mother-of-three who studies social work at NYU. She didn’t know how she was “going to be able to pay this off, in addition to student loans and all of her family’s other expenses,” Schloss wrote.

However, Noah’s Popsicle debt has already been more than paid off. As of Wednesday morning, generous donors have already contributed $3,675, surpassing the fundraising goal of $2,619.

“Thank you so much for your mind-blowing generosity,” Noah’s mother wrote on the page. She added that the extra donations will go towards education and additional supports for her son, who reportedly suffers from autism.
