Otter Pops, purple aka Alexander the Grape is best

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Otter Pops but I don't remember actually liking any of the flavors

[–] phrankygee 4 points 2 years ago

Seconding Otter Pops. But I had totally forgotten Alexander the Grape until you said it.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Wait, nobody just calls these popsicles? (Central US, was a kid in the 90s) I loved all the flavors except the light yellow one which was banana sometimes depending on the brand.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I am assuming that this is a hyper-local thing to wherever you were raised.

Popsicle is a brand that's over 100 years old and makes frozen treats on sticks.

[–] tox_solid 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

When I was a kid we were all perfectly aware of the Popsicle brand, and we still called these things popsicles. Like how every tissue is a Kleenex, or every adhesive bandage is a Band-Aid.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's interesting! I assumed it was just going to be a hyper-local thing for that one commenter.

Popsicle never made a product like this, so the Kleenex/tissue, Band-Aid/bandage, Sharpie/permanent marker thing doesn't really apply here.

I wonder where it comes from.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

It's still flavored liquid that's been frozen. The stick doesn't make a huge difference to a ten year old. In some ways this is better because it doesn't drip all over.

If Kleenex never made a tissue with infused lotion, or only with infused lotion, people would almost certainly still use the term for the other kind too.

Same as you, except early 2000s, and banana is actually the best flavor

I'd call them ice pops. Favorite would be purple/black assuming they're "grape^tm^", because I'm a trash person. Second would be red, third would be orange. Blue would weird me out so I wouldn't try it. It's probably raspberry, which I'm not a fan of. Finally, I'd assume green was sour apple or lime, which I also don't like. Though if they turned out to be watermelon then I'd be missing out

I'd call them "Wassereis" and green is best

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This right here is the correct answer because Waldmeister.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Waldmeister is nice but I like the red ones a bit more.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Waldmeister... Eine Geschmacksrichtung, die ich komplett verdrängt und vergessen habe... Danke für die Erinnerung, gibt es überhaupt noch Dinge mit Waldmeister? Schon ewig nichts mehr gesehen.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Freezies. I'll take a blue!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh hey they are bussy pops (white)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago
[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Freezer pops, blue!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Zooper dooper. Where the other Aussies at?
I'd do the cola flavour because it's fucken amazing

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Cola always the first Zooper Dooper to go. It's the only thing my family can agree on.

Everyone knows clear/white (which had a cream soda flavour) is the best. Why is it not in the picture? I can only assume because the person who took the picture already ate all of the clear ones (cause, you know, they're the best).

PS: we called them freezies.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I'm shocked to learn that thees aren't called freeze pops everywhere

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

ice pops! and strawberry / pink is the bomb

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Icey pops. Mystery Green was my jam

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

We called em Chilly Willies. There was a brand sold in my area named after the penguin character (Chilly Willy) associated with Woody Woodpecker. So as kids we loved that and just called any brand of them by that name.

Best color was orange IMO.

Ice pops. Pink or Blue please!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Lotta people here not going for red first. That just means you won't get them because they'll be gone by the time you get to 'em

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

They're called freeze pops. And green is the best color, but red is the best flavor

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Freezies! Orange is the best, followed by red and then white/clear.

[–] Skiggums 4 points 2 years ago

U people are mad, cola flavor ftw!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I called them freezer pops and blue is the best followed by red.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Ice pops, or ice poles! (SE UK) 1980s

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Fruity ice cylinders

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Flavor ice. And I'll kill for the orange one.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Flavor Ice too, and I'm taking a pink.

Fun fact, Flavor Ice is the same company behind Flavor Aid, the drink mix that was actually used at Jonestown because the cult was broke!

Bolis (Mexico). Orange is the one. Anything else tastes like defeat.

We called them popsicles. Blue is by far the best

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Either ice pops or the name brand otter pops. Ignore what others say: blue raspberry is truth, beauty, and love.

[–] anti_antidote 2 points 2 years ago

We always called them Joker pops since they give you mouth scars every time you eat em

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Freezies it what we called them. The best flavour is white. It was cream soda flavour or something similar.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Mmm tastes like purple.
