Sam leaves his Popsicle on the counter in the kitchen. What would happen if he returned after

In the timelapse between leaving the popsicle and returning to it in the duration of two hours, Sam will discover that the popsicle has lost it’s cold exterior to nonetheless the surroundings. The coldness of the popsicle from the freezer will dissipate to its surroundings and therefore inevitably melt a bit depending on the room temperature. The heat of the room transfers to the popsicle, causing condensation.
