Jerm Pop (Jermpop in one word) is one out of the 103 items that can be bought from the Shop.
Appearance
The item appears as a popsicle based off the Popsicle® Character Pops, specifically the variants that include the gumball eyes. The item itself is based off of the NPC Jermbo.
The popsicle appears to have deformed black eyes, a snout with a small pink gumball nose, a brown spot to the top-right of the popsicle, and no ears.
Interaction
Jerm Pop can be bought for 1,100 coins in the in-game shop. When interacted with, an animation of the player licking the Jerm Pop will play. It will grant the player the Jermpop! effect, which increases their max HP by 20 and heals 90HP. These effects will only be applied on the first interaction with Jerm Pop. Subsequent interactions with Jerm Pop will provide no healing or bonuses unless certain conditions are met.
If a player goes a long time without interacting with the Jerm Pop, light red text will appear on the top of the player's screen saying something relating to requiring more Jerm Pop. As the warning appears, the screen's borders will begin to pulse in a dark vignette, and heartbeat sounds begin to play.
It should also be noted that if the player's inventory is disabled (such as being on the Slap Battles floor or spectating during certain floors) while the warning is active, the negative effects will temporarily stop, resuming once the player can access their inventory again. There is also an 1/40 (2.5%) chance that every time the player interacts with the Jerm Pop, it will result in the player turning into dust and fading away, consequentially dying.
If the player interacts with Jerm Pop enough times (about 5 to 6 times) every time the warning shows up, the negative effects of Jerm Pop will go away, essentially giving the player +20 max HP with no downsides. The description of the Jermpop! effect will also change once this happens. Be warned however, as interacting with Jerm Pop without the warning showing up will reset the progress towards the removal. The same goes for interacting with Jerm Pop after the negative effects were removed.
Interacting with Jerm Pop while having the SERAPHIC GUISE ERADICATED effect will only grant +5 max HP. Also, having the Jermpop! effect and then getting the SERAPHIC GUISE ERADICATED effect will reduce the max HP gain from 20 to 5.
When a player gifts the Jerm Pop to an elevator NPC, they will heal 5 HP. The player will not lose the Jerm Pop from their inventory.
NPCs that will decline Jerm Pop are Bive, DrRETRO, Folly, Lampert, Melanie, Reddy, Spud!, STAT, and Unpleasant.

Trivia

- Previously, yeuc_c claimed the Jermpop tasted like vanilla and chocolate fudge.[2]
- If the Jerm Pop was real, it would be classified as a Schedule I drug.

- Previously, yeuc_c claimed the Jermpop tasted like vanilla and chocolate fudge.[2]
- There was a bug where, if the player had the Jerm Pop in their inventory and not in their hotbar, the warning would not appear.
- This has been fixed in the 6/1/24 update.
- There is a bug where, if the player is disentigrated by the Jerm Pop they wouldn't die and remain invisible instead along with keeping some equippable items such as Gas Mask and Crystal Crown.
- Most things wouldn't be able to kill the player during this state. But resetting will be able to bring the player back to normal.

- It is possible to use the Jerm Pop once and get dusted away straight after.
- In a livestream, yeuc_c joked that Jerm Pops were addictive because they contained nicotine.
- Jerm Pop is useful for long streaks. It's best to eat it in the Lobby after the player has saved their streak, because if they die, they will keep everything.
- If the player is on the Slap Battles floor or in the spectator menu, they will not need to lick the Jerm Pop as there is no way to interact with your items during those periods.
