Otter Pops but I don't remember actually liking any of the flavors
Seconding Otter Pops. But I had totally forgotten Alexander the Grape until you said it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
This right here is the correct answer because Waldmeister.
Waldmeister is nice but I like the red ones a bit more.
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.
Freezies. I'll take a blue!
Oh hey they are bussy pops (white)
Bussy 🤤
Freezer pops, blue!
Zooper dooper. Where the other Aussies at?
I'd do the cola flavour because it's fucken amazing
Cola always the first Zooper Dooper to go. It's the only thing my family can agree on.

In Italy we usually call them, polaretti
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.
I'm shocked to learn that thees aren't called freeze pops everywhere
ice pops! and strawberry / pink is the bomb
Icey pops. Mystery Green was my jam
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.

Ice pops. Pink or Blue please!
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
They're called freeze pops. And green is the best color, but red is the best flavor
Freezies! Orange is the best, followed by red and then white/clear.
U people are mad, cola flavor ftw!
I called them freezer pops and blue is the best followed by red.
Ice pops, or ice poles! (SE UK) 1980s
Fruity ice cylinders
Flavor ice. And I'll kill for the orange one.
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!

We called them popsicles. Blue is by far the best
Zoomers
Either ice pops or the name brand otter pops. Ignore what others say: blue raspberry is truth, beauty, and love.
We always called them Joker pops since they give you mouth scars every time you eat em
Freezies it what we called them. The best flavour is white. It was cream soda flavour or something similar.
Mmm tastes like purple.
