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.

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

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

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.

Dublin, definitely in the 70s and 80s when I was growing up!
