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

[–] Vollerempfang@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

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

This right here is the correct answer because Waldmeister.

[–] Super_Stone@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

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

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 6 points 1 year 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 5 points 1 year 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

Otter Pops, purple aka Alexander the Grape is best

[–] phrankygee@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Lupolo@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

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

Freezies. I'll take a blue!

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

[–] Klunk@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

[–] str82L@kbin.social 2 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

ice pops! and strawberry / pink is the bomb

[–] wreel@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

Icey pops. Mystery Green was my jam

[–] CoderKat@kbin.social 4 points 1 year 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.

[–] StrawberryCake@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

In Italy we usually call them, polaretti

[–] smokinjoe@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[–] Seathru@kbin.social 2 points 1 year 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.

[–] Skiggums@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

U people are mad, cola flavor ftw!

[–] OmegaMouse@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

Fruity ice cylinders

[–] Naminreb@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

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

[–] tysnae24hn@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago
[–] Sushi809@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Ice pops. Pink or Blue please!

[–] lolreconlol@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Freezer pops, blue!

[–] nicetriangle@kbin.social 3 points 1 year 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.

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

[–] Doug@midwest.social 3 points 1 year 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

[–] Terminarchs@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Mr. Freeze (France)

[–] Biofobico@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)
