      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

      In my mind a popsicle has a stick and anything thats in a tube like this is an otterpop, even though otterpop is a brand name and ain’t nobody buying the real otterpops.

    I’d call them ice pops. Favorite would be purple/black assuming they’re “grapetm”, 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

        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.

    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.

    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
