Otter Pops, purple aka Alexander the Grape is best

[–] Lupolo@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

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

[–] phrankygee@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

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

[–] grapefruit_crackers@kbin.social 11 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.

[–] DerisionConsulting@kbin.social 10 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@lemmy.world 6 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.

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

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

[–] UpperBroccoli@feddit.de 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This right here is the correct answer because Waldmeister.

[–] Super_Stone@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago

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

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

Freezies. I'll take a blue!

[–] eatham@aussie.zone 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Zooper doopers but the colors are different

[–] Klunk@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Aussie gang

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah needs nice calm colours for Zooper Doopers.

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

[–] str82L@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

Yep Zooper Dooper was the first thing I thought of when I saw it. Cola is pretty nice as well.

[–] Klunk@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Classic Aussie summer treat

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

Freezer pops, blue!

[–] Entropy1367@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago

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

[–] vudu@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

ice pops! and strawberry / pink is the bomb

[–] wreel@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago

Icey pops. Mystery Green was my jam

[–] StrawberryCake@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

In Italy we usually call them, polaretti

[–] loreasaurus@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] smokinjoe@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] Seathru@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

That's the brand that was ubiquitous when I was growing up.

Purple is by far the best, but eat too many and it'll turn your poo green.

[–] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 2 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!

[–] Frog-Brawler@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Damn, that’s messed up… Kool-Aid gets all the credit!

[–] CoderKat@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Doug@midwest.social 4 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

[–] nicetriangle@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago (1 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.

Mr. Freeze (France)

[–] tysnae24hn@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago
[–] Chiyo@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Percy@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

We called them popsicles. Blue is by far the best

[–] Skiggums@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

U people are mad, cola flavor ftw!

[–] Naminreb@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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

[–] OmegaMouse@feddit.uk 3 points 2 years ago

Fruity ice cylinders

[–] Biofobico@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

We call them "Fás" here in Portugal.
