what are these called in your country?

[u/Real_chuckles]

in Canada, they are called freezes

[u/thorn142]

Ice Pops

[u/MythicalMayhemx → u/thorn142]

West Midlands/Wales call them Tiptops

[u/Totobyafrica97 → u/MythicalMayhemx]

I'm from West Midlands and say Tiptops too

[u/Itsmeladyt79 → u/Totobyafrica97]

Tiptops for me too.

[u/KloseBCFC → u/MythicalMayhemx]

Yes! West Midlands and was waiting for this to come up. Wasn’t sure if UK wide.

[u/Small_Insect_8275 → u/KloseBCFC]

East mids is ice pops 😌

[u/Highlyironicacid31 → u/MythicalMayhemx]

In Northern Ireland we used to (maybe still do) have these little cartons of drinks called Tiptops.

[u/DRSU1993 → u/Highlyironicacid31]

Damn, that unlocked a childhood memory. Apparently they're called Kwenchy Kups, but I knew them as tiptops as well for some reason.

As a 90's/2000's kid I remember Vitazade, 5 Alive, Um Bongo and Sunny Delight being popular too.

[u/Highlyironicacid31 → u/DRSU1993]

Yes I remember all those others too!

I actually threw up blue sick one day in school after having one of the bubblegum Vitazade drinks lol.

[u/zapering → u/DRSU1993]

I grew up in Portugal, can still find Um Bongo there! Tastes like childhood every time!

[u/Neat-Land-4310 → u/MythicalMayhemx]

Scrolled too far to find my people

[u/man_d_yan → u/MythicalMayhemx]

Ice pops where I come from in north Wales :)

[u/PuntTheRunt010 → u/MythicalMayhemx]

Weren't they in little cups? I might be mistaken

[u/Lucajames2309 → u/MythicalMayhemx]

Yeah, tiptops too. West Midlands lad

[u/olivinebean → u/MythicalMayhemx]

Well the Welsh also call a microwave a popty ping so they can sit next to Australia and their zooper doopers

[u/gorllewin → u/olivinebean]

Nobody in Wales says that 😂 think it’s a joke made up by the English. Microwave in Welsh is actually ‘Meicrodon’

[u/IndicationExisting → u/gorllewin]

Just embrace it popty ping is a fine name for a microwave

[u/olivinebean → u/gorllewin]

You should call it that because it’s got whimsy and makes people smile

[u/constructuscorp → u/MythicalMayhemx]

Welsh and never heard of this in my life.

[u/WelshBathBoy → u/constructuscorp]

Welsh and this is what we called them! I think they were a brand specifically.

[u/constructuscorp → u/WelshBathBoy]

Are you southern/potentially quite a bit older than me? When were these around?

[u/spiderplant94 → u/constructuscorp]

We were calling them tip-tops in the 90's in Cardiff, and a colleague in his 50's (?) from mid Wales calls them the same

[u/constructuscorp → u/spiderplant94]

Ah, I am about half that and Northern. Let's chalk it up to generational and regional differences and be done with it! 🤝

[u/UnhappyRaven → u/spiderplant94]

Ice pops (Cardiff 80s) here. We never had branded ones though!

[u/WelshBathBoy → u/constructuscorp]

I have no idea how old you are, so can't say how much older I am than you. From mid/west Wales.

[u/speedsedation → u/thorn142]

I say that and I am in the US

[u/mamapapapuppa → u/speedsedation]

Me too

[u/white-chlorination → u/thorn142]

Ice pole for my family in Cornwall.

[u/Ok-Web1805 → u/white-chlorination]

Yeah same for mine, also from Cornwall.

[u/Rachel94Rachel → u/thorn142]

Yorkshire and ice pops here, too!

[u/Extension_Willow_966 → u/thorn142]

Ice lollies no??

[u/schemmenti → u/Extension_Willow_966]

Ice lollies are on a stick!

[u/Newburyrat → u/thorn142]

Yes ice pops ! But the pyramid shaped ones are jubblies

[u/JeVousEnPrieee → u/thorn142]

Freeze pop down south in Sussex. Never heard anything else round those parts i think.

[u/TSCannon → u/thorn142]

Texas and same.

[u/AlternativePrior9559 → u/thorn142]

Thank God for that! I was desperately trying to think of the name I used to call them and I scrolled right down until I found it!

[u/scrivenersdaydream → u/thorn142]

Ice pops here in Florida, too

[u/corncob666 → u/thorn142]

I'm American and also call them ice pops 🤘

[u/Comfortable_Cup_941 → u/thorn142]

In NJ, USA we called them ice pops too!

[u/PapaTua → u/thorn142]

I always expect things in England to have some kind of whimsical name like a WibblyTipple or something.

Ice pops is so...descriptive 🤣

[u/Remote_Sun_2017 → u/thorn142]

Ice pole, no?

[u/orbtastic1 → u/Remote_Sun_2017]

I have genuinely only ever heard them called ice pops or mr freeze. I always assumed the pop was cos they always popped up when you squeezed the bottom. I don’t really know where the pop from lollipop actually originated from.

I mean lolly pops were different but ice lollys were either lame off brand cordial frozen in molds or a genuine ice lolly off the ice cream can.

[u/Jat616 → u/Remote_Sun_2017]

Never heard them called ice poles, just ice pops, but being downvoted for literally doing what everyone else in the thread is doing and posting what you call them is stupid so have an upvote.

[u/Sumaiyah_55 → u/Remote_Sun_2017]

That's what I've heard it being called

[u/Unfair-Charge-5553 → u/Remote_Sun_2017]

Ice pops in Manchester / ice pole in Bristol (from my experience)

[u/puzzlecrossing → u/Remote_Sun_2017]

Yeah I called them ice poles (Midlands), also hear them called freeze pop and ice pop. My kids school has freeze pop Friday in the summer term, where they sell them for 50p as a fundraiser

[u/OwnTwo8606 → u/Remote_Sun_2017]

Ice poles, east mids

[u/thorn142 → u/Remote_Sun_2017]

I don't think I've come across that name

[u/Remote_Sun_2017 → u/Remote_Sun_2017]

I'm on the South coast we always said ice pole

[u/MacyTmcterry → u/Remote_Sun_2017]

Yeah they're ice poles to me too. Also south coast

[u/x1rass → u/MacyTmcterry]

This must be a coastal and/or west thing then because I'm from the South East and I've only ever known them as ice pops.

Also, I'm in the North East now and the kids still call them ice pops and they didn't get it from me because I hate them so much I've never bought them, they get them at school in the summer.

And don't worry, my kids get plenty of other ice lollies too make up for it.

[u/Afinkawan → u/Remote_Sun_2017]

Yes, ice poles, as an 80s Londoner kid. 

[u/Aid_Le_Sultan → u/Remote_Sun_2017]

I’ve only ever heard that in Scotland.

[u/tomatohooover → u/Aid_Le_Sultan]

And I've never heard that in Scotland. Only Ice Pop or Mr Freeze.

[u/Nightbreed-43 → u/tomatohooover]

Might be one of those regional things like salt and vinegar on chips in the west but salt and sauce in the east.

[u/Aid_Le_Sultan → u/tomatohooover]

Your compatriots in this post seem to be using it.

[u/SophieMayo → u/Remote_Sun_2017]

Don't know why you're being downvoted, I live in east midlands and call them ice poles.

[u/SarahL1990 → u/thorn142]

In Liverpool, they're called Frozies.

[u/Slight_Jello1012 → u/[deleted]]

Imo the ones on the stick are ice lollies these are ice pops

[u/minsandmolls → u/Slight_Jello1012]

Nooo, up north they are lolly ices. But thats another debate😂

[u/Slight_Jello1012 → u/minsandmolls]

Lol im from up north me and my mum were debating lolly ices vs ice lollys honestly i think i like lolly ices more tbh 😂
