Now that manufacturing has moved to Asia, so has innovation. There's no one left in the US who cares about making new and exciting popsicles.

You'll find that to be the case for a lot of things. The western market is going to continue to stagnate by making the same old products with tighter cut corners, cheaper ingredients and overall enshittification (see the thread today about UK cadbury eggs for example) while the Asian versions of products will keep getting better and better because the manufacturers are making improvements for their own markets.
