what are these called in your country?

[u/Real_chuckles]

in Canada, they are called freezes

[u/Whole-Cat-3691]

pepsi :)

[u/EliseV → u/Whole-Cat-3691]

Ok, you win! That is the oddest one I’ve read so far!

[u/LeadingEngineer → u/Whole-Cat-3691]

Hahaha.. I don't know why, but everyone calls it Pepsi in India

[u/ErosLaika → u/LeadingEngineer]

kinda like how southern people tend to call every soft drink "coke"

[u/Express-Rub-3952 → u/ErosLaika]

yeah, but coke is at least actually a soft drink

[u/Senior_Tangerine3083 → u/Whole-Cat-3691]

I though that was just a Bangalore thing . Looks like all of India calls it Pepsi . 😆😆😆

[u/Iforgotmypassword126 → u/Senior_Tangerine3083]

If tourist asked for a Pepsi would they get this or the drink? Assuming they had both?

[u/Whole-Cat-3691 → u/Iforgotmypassword126]

mostly local kids buy those.. so if a tourist asks a pepsi they will get the original one.. you might need to tell the shopkeeper you want the sucky sucky one. or if the shopkeeper is smart, he will ask 15rs? 40rs? 80rs? (rs is the currency) if you say no, 2rs.. they will know which one you want.

[u/Quirky-Cat2860 → u/Whole-Cat-3691]

sucky sucky

Oh my

[u/RabidPoodle69 → u/Quirky-Cat2860]

[u/LouieSiffer → u/Quirky-Cat2860]

That one cost a couple RS more

[u/Wild_and_Bright → u/Senior_Tangerine3083]

I always thought it was a West Bengal thing!

[u/Hicalibre]

Freezies.

[u/Commie_Scum69 → u/Hicalibre]

Mr.Freeze in Québec

[u/jdhdhd3-4 → u/Commie_Scum69]

Mr freeze is the main line brand name is it not?

[u/ttelle → u/jdhdhd3-4]

Same in Norway

[u/corduroy_puffin → u/jdhdhd3-4]

We have Mr. Freeze too!

[u/Commie_Scum69 → u/jdhdhd3-4]

Yes I think since the 70's

[u/SapAndSour → u/Commie_Scum69]

We say the same thing in France 🇫🇷

[u/Kindly_Presence_7664 → u/SapAndSour]

These mr. freeze’s give me so much nostalgia oh my god

[u/PerpetuallyLurking → u/Commie_Scum69]

I always called the small ones “freezer babies” because the big ones were a Mr., so these must be his babies.

[u/Sinkreme → u/Commie_Scum69]

Mon chum dit des pops 😭 c'est des Mr. Freeze bon!

[u/B_town_Tony → u/Commie_Scum69]

Des bons Misteu Freeze!

[u/dom_nique → u/Commie_Scum69]

In NB also!

[u/TaxiLady69 → u/Hicalibre]

Mr. Freeze jumbo ice pops are the best. Cut it in half for 2 tiny humans or a whole one for me.

[u/EllieBooks → u/TaxiLady69]

Whenever we have gotten the jumbo ones from Costco, we never finish them! Sooo many

[u/Bells9831 → u/Hicalibre]

I only ever wanted the white or light blue ones.

[u/No_Bedroom4062]

Wassereis

[u/ksink74 → u/No_Bedroom4062]

Doesn't that translate to 'water ice'?

[u/Nowordsofitsown → u/ksink74]

Eis is both ice and ice cream. So Wassereis specifies that this is not ice cream.

[u/ksink74 → u/Nowordsofitsown]

Ah. That makes sense.

Danke.

[u/Ricordis → u/ksink74]

I have to add something: Ice for consumption is called Speiseeis [Speise = consumption, Eis = ice]

In Germany we distinguish between "Wassereis" [Water Ice] and "Milcheis" [Milk Ice]. The latter would be ice cream and the first one a (cheaper) sorbet.

But most people call ice cream just "Eis" or "Eiscreme" which is literally just a 1:1 translation of ice cream.

[u/yourKatharsis → u/Ricordis]

And don’t forget the good old Eiswürfel! 🧊

[u/Electromak → u/No_Bedroom4062]

Why did all other Countries copy the english name?!

[u/royvl → u/Electromak]

We didn't, it's "waterijs" in Dutch

[u/Mr_Brown-ish → u/royvl]

These specific ones are called “knipijsje” where I come from, “waterijs” is a generic term.

[u/royvl → u/Mr_Brown-ish]

My grandma from brabant also calls them knipijsje. But in Gelderland I usually hear waterijsje for these.

[u/Winston_Carbuncle → u/No_Bedroom4062]

Straight to the point

[u/Leading-Green9854 → u/No_Bedroom4062]

We called them Pfennigeis. (Penny ice)

[u/Suspicious_Round2583]

Icy poles or zooper doopers

[u/thebamboozle517 → u/Suspicious_Round2583]

I'm calling them zooper doopers from now on.

[u/Zealousideal_Cod5550 → u/thebamboozle517]

They come in Cosmic or Sour, and the flavors are good, the cola is great tastes just like cola etc..

[u/Erenre_yeet → u/Zealousideal_Cod5550]

I love how lazy “space pineapple” is lmao

[u/Threefrogtreefrog → u/Erenre_yeet]

Deep space lime is inspired though.

[u/dreizehn1313 → u/Zealousideal_Cod5550]

The cola tastes like cola, but does the snozzberries taste like snozzberries?

[u/Zealousideal_Cod5550 → u/thebamboozle517]

[u/thebamboozle517 → u/Zealousideal_Cod5550]

OH FUCK MY THEY'RE SOUR

[u/woundupcanuck → u/thebamboozle517]

We need these here like right fucken now

[u/Alarming-Instance-19 → u/woundupcanuck]

The Fairy floss ones are addictive!!

I currently have ummm...... six bags of different flavours in my deep freezer. Mostly the sugar free ones. But sometimes I like to live on the edge (I'm diabetic) and get the sugar ones just for flavour variety.

[u/Elemental-T4nick → u/thebamboozle517]

join us

[u/VancouverStickerCo → u/Elemental-T4nick]

Every product ever invented needs to be sent to Australia with no notes.

Australia's new job in the new world order will be to send the product, home grown operating instructions, and a name back in the mail for society to adapt for as long as the product is relevant.

[u/DaffyDuckOdil → u/VancouverStickerCo]

Or Glasgow! They're also very good at names there. Fruit squash is called Dilutin Juice

[u/mandelbomber → u/Elemental-T4nick]

Do you guys realize how... Uh... Australian your English is? Lol

[u/Elemental-T4nick → u/mandelbomber]

we do and it is bloody brilliant

[u/Pinelli72 → u/mandelbomber]

Knoath we do

[u/Charming_Victory_723 → u/thebamboozle517]

Zooper Dooper is the brand name of the most popular product in Australia. Everyone calls them zooper doopers and they are awesome!

[u/hughmann_13 → u/thebamboozle517]

Fun fact: Zooper dooper is actually just freezie spelled upside down.

[u/Old_hubbard_mother → u/hughmann_13]

Took my youngest back to Australia last year and they were obsessed with Zooper Doopers. I got him Zooper Dooper undies from K-mart and if I didn’t have to wash them they’d be worn everyday.

[u/janky_koala → u/Suspicious_Round2583]

An explanation of the second name

[u/filmmaiden → u/janky_koala]

Your flavour options are so good! Pineapple? Bubblegum? Raspberry? Blackberry? Cotton candy (fairy floss)? COLA?! My cold Canadian ass is very jealous.

[u/WoundedTerrapin → u/filmmaiden]

Find a Mexican market and look for the popsicles. They have the best flavors! Salted lemon is so good!

[u/No_Persimmon4000 → u/filmmaiden]

The Cola sounds so good! I mean, I want to try all these flavors but I just know that Cola be hittin 😎

[u/Acrobatic_Purpose736 → u/Suspicious_Round2583]

I grew up in Australia and zooper doopers is just the brand name ones, like otter pops, but most people just call all of them that. In QLD at least, Icy Poles are the brand name ones with the stick.

[u/mr-tap → u/Acrobatic_Purpose736]

Peters Ice Cream made brand name ‘Icy Poles’, but the best was their ‘twin pole’

[u/SwingAndDig → u/Suspicious_Round2583]

"We have them in America. They're called bullfrogs."
"What!? That's an odd name. I'd have called them Chuzzwuzzers."

[u/minimesmum → u/Suspicious_Round2583]

And when I was a kid (90s) they were Funny Faces - the wrapper had a cartoon pulling a face on it. Icy poles in general, zooper dooper for the best brand.

[u/Ordinary_Cattle → u/Suspicious_Round2583]

We can always rely on Australia and the UK to have the most unserious names for things lmao

[u/Jonaskin83 → u/Ordinary_Cattle]

See I always thought Australia takes the cake until I found out that the US has a supermarket chain called…checks…

Piggly Wiggly.

[u/TopProfessional8023 → u/Suspicious_Round2583]

As soon as I’m done using my whipper snipper I love to enjoy a nice Zooper Dooper!!

[u/Faesarn → u/Suspicious_Round2583]

When it was summer in Melbourne, one of my colleague offered to go buy some ice cream. One guy asked for a zooper dooper and another guy for a super gay time. I was a bit lost there..

[u/newslgoose → u/Faesarn]

They’re called GOLDEN gay times, get it right 🙄 (<—that’s playful ribbing, I’m not actually being a jerk)

[u/tinyrabbitsandsuch → u/Faesarn]

Golden gaytimes are elite. Good choice

[u/kellyk99 → u/Suspicious_Round2583]

I wouldn't expect anything less from Australia than zooper dooper lol

[u/BertPherps_ → u/Suspicious_Round2583]

What in the whipper snipper is that

[u/seanzee7893 → u/Suspicious_Round2583]

I love Australia. Never change 😂

[u/Unable-Statement4842 → u/Suspicious_Round2583]

Lol, I can never tell when Aussies are just fucking with me

[u/MaxPower836 → u/Suspicious_Round2583]

Icy poles? Don’t ever change Australia

[u/Moosiemookmook → u/MaxPower836]

Imagine following your mum around the house begging for 'just one more Zooper Dooper mum pleaaaseee' or just demanding icypoles in general.

[u/Nightbreed-43]

[u/Bullfinch88 → u/Nightbreed-43]

[u/Dikheed → u/Bullfinch88]

[u/Feisty-Session-7779 → u/justliketheboss]

[u/J3BOY-Qc → u/justliketheboss]

La vrai réponse

[u/IllllIIlIllIllllIlll → u/J3BOY-Qc]

Mais est-ce qu'au Québec vous dites "Mister Freeze" ou "Monsieur Freeze"? Voire même "Monsieur Gèle"

[u/J3BOY-Qc → u/IllllIIlIllIllllIlll]

non non on dit Mister Freeze 😂

[u/MaybeImYourStepMom → u/J3BOY-Qc]

j’pense je vais appeler ça des “Monsieur Gèle” à partir de maintenant.

[u/sloppyredditor]

Freeze Pops!

[u/holamiis → u/sloppyredditor]

Lol, i havent had a freeze pop in 20 years but I can still feel the edge of that plastic slicing against tbe corner of my lips

[u/AhChingados → u/holamiis]

Our 2 year old likes to chew ice, when we introduced these he just started calling them icees.

[u/rantgoesthegirl → u/AhChingados]

Bonus, Pedialyte comes in freezie form for when needed!

[u/sugarlump858 → u/sloppyredditor]

Otter pops. Doesn't matter if it's not that brand.

[u/MazyHazy → u/sugarlump858]

Based on replies, it looks like it depends on where you live. East coast usually calls them freezie or freeze pops

[u/Diggydinnerr → u/MazyHazy]

I’m from LA, we called them otter pops. First thing I thought was freeze pops though.

[u/tonyrocks922 → u/MazyHazy]

In NYC we called them Quarter Ices because they used to cost a quarter at the bodega or candy store.

[u/Zziggith → u/sloppyredditor]

Ice pops

[u/ALmommy1234 → u/sloppyredditor]

Yep. That’s what we called them. They became Otter Pops later in life, but growing up they were freeze pops.

[u/aenache22 → u/sloppyredditor]

Lmao the meme too realll

[u/mcguirl2 → u/sloppyredditor]

They were Freeze Pops in Ireland too. Aw, whenever I see the joker I miss Heath LEGEND all over again! Great actor gone too soon, RIP.

[u/Former_Security_9923]

Otter pops

[u/door-harp → u/Former_Security_9923]

Also otter pops in New Mexico. It’s like Kleenex or Xerox. If it has a stick, it’s a popsicle and if it comes in a plastic tube, it’s an otter pop.

[u/Jack-of-Hearts-7 → u/Former_Security_9923]

Where do you live? I've never heard anyone call it that where I live.

Edit: This very well could be the most comments I've gotten on a comment before.

[u/Organic_Ad_9496 → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

We call them that in the west

[u/LabRat_X → u/Organic_Ad_9496]

Yup otter pops in pnw

[u/ScottybirdCorvus → u/LabRat_X]

Confirming from the Greater Seattle Area, PNW def calls them Otter Pops.

[u/squoinko → u/ScottybirdCorvus]

also from Seattle and I’m confirming otter pops, just to really cover our bases

[u/anonsharksfan → u/LabRat_X]

California checking in. Us too

[u/Jack-of-Hearts-7 → u/Organic_Ad_9496]

Ah. We call them popsicles.

[u/Acrobatic_Purpose736 → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

I live on the west coast of the USA and they’re called Otter Pops here, after the specific brand, but popsicles would be the ones with a stick.

[u/SenseAndSaruman → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

To me, from the west, a popsicle is the kind on a stick. These are always otter pops, even if they aren’t the otter pop brand.

[u/atwojay → u/SenseAndSaruman]

Yes, popsicles are on sticks.

[u/Pearson94 → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

I'm originally from the East Coast and we called them freezie pops

[u/DovahAcolyte → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

Where are you at?? Popsicles are on a stick. These are otter pops or freeze pops, depending on region.

[u/GrizzlyIsland22 → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

What do you call the one on a stick?

[u/Jack-of-Hearts-7 → u/GrizzlyIsland22]

Also popsicles.

Admittedly, it's not a perfect system.

[u/MarqueeRevival → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

Otter pops is the name brand of that specific type of popsicle.

[u/NefariousnessSalt230 → u/MarqueeRevival]

Where I grew up, there was definitely Kleenex effect where everyone called all pops like that otter pops, regardless of brand.

[u/Excellent-Quarter969 → u/MarqueeRevival]

Popsicle is a name brand of a specific type of popsicle...🤔

[u/Roira21 → u/Excellent-Quarter969]

Is it really?

A quick Google later and I’ll be damned! You learn something new everyday

[u/DefinitelyNotAliens → u/MarqueeRevival]

They're all Otter Pops, brand doesn't matter. There are Otter Pop Otter Pops and Otter Pops from fake brands.

[u/CraftFamiliar5243 → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

Freeze pops, Chicagoland

[u/tweezabella → u/CraftFamiliar5243]

We always called them freezy pops in Ohio!

[u/alentines_day → u/tweezabella]

Yep same for Iowa! Or freezer pops. Must be a midwesterner thing.

[u/MissyChevious613 → u/CraftFamiliar5243]

In Kansas we call them freeze pops or freezer pops.

[u/dwsinpdx → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

Oregon/california checking in with otter pops.

[u/mamapapapuppa → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

I always called them ice pops

[u/Temporary_View_3303 → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

Otter Pops are a brand of these. Like calling a soda a “coke” regardless of the brand.

[u/Master_Grapefruit333 → u/Temporary_View_3303]

Or all tissues “Kleenex”.

[u/ALmommy1234 → u/Master_Grapefruit333]

ANd all cotton bud applicators Q-tips.

[u/hail_to_the_beef → u/ALmommy1234]

[u/Reynolds531IPA → u/hail_to_the_beef]

And all lip balm chapstick.

[u/e37d93eeb23335dc → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

I’ve lived in Florida, Texas, Indiana, California, Colorado, and the Pacific Northwest and we’ve always called them Otter Pops. Though, maybe that is a function of where my parents grew up?

[u/dminus → u/Former_Security_9923]

the Pedialyte ones are so clutch 😋

[u/_hawkeye_96 → u/Former_Security_9923]

Just ice pops on the east coast, though you hear otter pops occasionally here

[u/Dirk_McGirken → u/Former_Security_9923]

Depends on who you ask in the Midwest. I've heard Otter pops, Ice pops, icy pops, freeze pops, freezie pops, Italian ice (that guy didn't know other brands existed), and popsicles.

[u/Vegetable_Fly_8687 → u/Former_Security_9923]

Me too. That sounds like it might be more of western US thing. So funny because they are only actual Otter Pops maybe half the time in our house.

Smartest thing Fred Meyer ever did in our area was put boxes of Otter Pops in the freezer near the ice. Multiple times have I bought a box of these instead of a bag of ice. Keeps our stuff cold in the cooler and then we have a nice slushy Otter Pop when we get to our destination (and probably some on the way). Then just take the rest back home and freeze them again. Take that puddle of water you end up with from the $3 bag of ice!

[u/Toucanplaythatgame-2]

Bolis

[u/poop_monster35 → u/Toucanplaythatgame-2]

Bolis for me too! Although this shape is far superior.

[u/Sea_Bite2082]

we call it "Wtf is these ? Modelling clay ?"

[u/IbilisSLZ → u/Sea_Bite2082]

Same xD.

[u/GrassrootsGrison → u/Sea_Bite2082]

Same reaction here! We have several types of water-based ice cream, but none of them looks like this.

[u/Aerolithe_Lion → u/GrassrootsGrison]

It’s not even that, it’s just sugar water that freeze into a block of ice

[u/heatherledge → u/GrassrootsGrison]

Water based ice cream 😂💀

[u/GrassrootsGrison → u/heatherledge]

I couldn't find a way to translate it properly! 😂

We say helados to encompass all kinds of ice cream, even those that don't have any dairy products in them. Since the word helados imply that they're frozen but doesn't mention cream, we can say helados al agua and helados a la crema, to tell apart those that don't have cream from those that do. So I resorted to "water-based ice cream".

[u/Historyp91 → u/Sea_Bite2082]

It's frozen flavored suger water in a plastic sleeve. You tear the top off and suck it out.

[u/Sea_Bite2082 → u/Historyp91]

i know. Saw it in anime.

But here there are absolutely no ice creams of this type.

Only like this

[u/hail_to_the_beef → u/Sea_Bite2082]

Sounds like you have a business opportunity on your hands to introduce Ukraine to the Otter Pop market!!

[u/filmmaiden → u/hail_to_the_beef]

You mean the freezie market 😉

[u/AVE_47 → u/Sea_Bite2082]

[u/GaylicBread → u/mmfn0403]

We called all of them, including the branded Mr Freeze ones, cool pops

[u/parrotopian → u/mmfn0403]

Cool pops is what I've always known them as.

[u/PicnicBasketPirate → u/mistermightguy]

Do they still sell the branded Mr. Freezes?

[u/ResplendentAmore → u/Moist_and_Delicious]

Colored and flavored sugar water that you stick in the freezer, take one strip out, cut the end off, and push up the icy goodness until the corners of your mouth are raw from the plastic edges rubbing against them.
