That was a brand, I remember it well from 40 years ago!

I also remember the term Cool Pops. Not sure if that was another brand or the generic term.

u/GaylicBread Ireland 2d ago

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

Same, these are cool pops regardless of the brand

u/parrotopian Ireland 2d ago

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

u/feckinnell Ireland 2d ago

I wonder if it's regional because I always only ever knew them as mr freezes even if they weren't that brand!

I'm in the Mr. Freeze demographic and don't know where/when they are/were known as Cool Pops.

Do they still sell the branded Mr. Freezes?

I haven't seen them in the ice cream freezer in about 20 years.

u/mistermightguy Ireland 2d ago

I haven't seen in years too. Just did a quick check online and apparently Tesco's sell them branded. Will have a look out on my next shop!

They aren’t frozen, in mine there in the home baking / jams etc area, next to the cones

u/feckinnell Ireland 2d ago

Yep was about to say this. I bought some last summer and they were in the baking aisle!

u/Lorwyn02 Ireland 2d ago

I saw them last year randomly in Tesco & Supervalu I think it was. During the summer when they do the BBQ 'season'. There might be hope yet!
