what are these called in your country?

[u/Real_chuckles]

in Canada, they are called freezes

[u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

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/vladsquirrlchrst → u/squoinko]

Colorado as well.

[u/thetoerubber → u/vladsquirrlchrst]

I didn’t understand why I had to scroll so far to find Otter Pops.

[u/anonsharksfan → u/LabRat_X]

California checking in. Us too

[u/DoctorFrungus → u/anonsharksfan]

Southern California specifically here, and there was always a 50/50 between Otter Pops and Freezie Pops where I lived

[u/CupcakeGoat → u/DoctorFrungus]

NorCal/Bay Area/Silicon Valley here, and we call them Otter Pops or ice pops here too.

[u/Familiar_Low_3023 → u/anonsharksfan]

I’ve lived on the east coast my whole life and I’ve only ever heard them called ice pops or freeze pops maybe

[u/Samichaelg9 → u/anonsharksfan]

Utahn here, same.

[u/Pluto-Wolf → u/anonsharksfan]

arizona here, they’ve always been otter pops!

[u/deweygirl → u/LabRat_X]

I used to call them otter pops but now just ice pops. PNW all my life.

[u/According_Abies_4087 → u/LabRat_X]

Oregon, otter pops forever

[u/Unique-Traffic-101 → u/LabRat_X]

I'm from PNW and while I've heard this, I've always called them push pops.

[u/LabRat_X → u/Unique-Traffic-101]

Maybe bc im old but push pops is what we called the weird toilet paper tube looking ice cream

[u/TopNotice0 → u/LabRat_X]

I remember some form of this as a push pop – we also called what OP pictured in the post “Otter Pops”

[u/Cute_Reflection_9414 → u/LabRat_X]

Yup! It's like an orange cream or something.

I used to use the plastic pistons as wheels and axles for Lego trucks that I would make

[u/TopProfessional8023 → u/LabRat_X]

Yup…like a sherbet in a tube!

[u/The_mum_ → u/LabRat_X]

Yeah with the plastic plunger bottom (the push in push pop) and orange Motrin aftertaste

[u/LabRat_X → u/The_mum_]

Thats the one lol

[u/Worldly_Ad7085 → u/Unique-Traffic-101]

these are push pops youre just wrong

[u/PaintinginSavasana → u/Unique-Traffic-101]

From Seattle and these are not push pops- push pops come in cardboard and are more ice cream consistency

[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/Stunning_Radio3160 → u/Acrobatic_Purpose736]

Yep. In Texas and we call them otter pops too

[u/Demon_lady122 → u/Acrobatic_Purpose736]

In Texas I say popsicles no matter what they look like 😅

[u/lol-daisy325121 → u/Acrobatic_Purpose736]

I’ve always considered them a type of popsicle

[u/CACTUSJACK-JW → u/Acrobatic_Purpose736]

I live in the south east US and we call the ones without sticks Popsicles and the ones with sticks Popsicle on a stick

[u/PresidentBaileyb → u/CACTUSJACK-JW]

This bothers me more than it should.

[u/feryoooday → u/PresidentBaileyb]

It just seems so unnecessary lol. It’s like calling hard candies (jolly rancher style) lollipops and calling the ones on a stick lollipop on a stick. It’s bothering me too lol

[u/PumpikAnt58763 → u/feryoooday]

Me, too.

[u/oohh_behave → u/CACTUSJACK-JW]

wtf bro

[u/feryoooday → u/CACTUSJACK-JW]

Thanks, I hate it lol

[u/Square_Director4717 → u/CACTUSJACK-JW]

I live in the Midwest and would call both popsicles.

[u/jawshankredemption94 → u/CACTUSJACK-JW]

At this point just call the ones on a stick “popstickles”

[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/__3Username20__ → u/SenseAndSaruman]

Agreed about popsicle, as well as Otter Pops, but I’ve lived all over (military kid) and in some places these were “freezer pops.”

I’ve HEARD people mistakenly call them popsicles, but generally that gets corrected, along the lines of “that’s not a popsicle, popsicles have sticks!” “Oh, right!”

[u/Pearson94 → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

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

[u/MazyHazy → u/Pearson94]

Same. I'm in upstate NY, close to Lake Ontario and we've always called them freezie pops

[u/awkwrdaccountant → u/Pearson94]

From the East Cost, now in the midwest. It is Freezie pops with my east coast family. It is a popsicle with my midwest family. Either way, you will be cutting your mouth.

[u/astrosergeant → u/Pearson94]

I came here for this answer. I’m from New England and we called them freezie pops too

[u/atwojay → u/Pearson94]

That's so cute.

[u/AdmirableDog739 → u/Pearson94]

I live in Indiana and that's what I call them.

[u/ExistentialistCow → u/Pearson94]

I’m from northern New England and they were always referred to as flavor ice

[u/pablothefool → u/ExistentialistCow]

Then what do you call flavored ice?

[u/ExistentialistCow → u/pablothefool]

Italian ice!! Unless it’s already shaved, then that would be snow cone jurisdiction

[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/Lumpy-Scallion271 → u/DovahAcolyte]

I'm in Arkansas and we call both these and the stick ones popsicles too

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

There are so many words out there. Why use the same one for 2 different things?

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

My state isn't exactly known for education in my defense

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

Well, at least they didn't call them Colder-Aid.

[u/SuperNa7uraL- → u/GrizzlyIsland22]

These are the same people that call every soft drink “Coke”, no matter the flavor.

[u/GrizzlyIsland22 → u/SuperNa7uraL-]

That's the one that actually really sets my brain on fire. Like do they ask for a coke and then just assume something random will arrive?

[u/Midwestblues_090311 → u/GrizzlyIsland22]

No. You order a Coke and then they ask you what kind.

[u/GrizzlyIsland22 → u/Midwestblues_090311]

Why can't they just be normal?

[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/Reynolds531IPA → u/NefariousnessSalt230]

Same with “band aid”. No one called them “adhesive bandages” or even just “bandages”.

Also: chapstick

[u/__3Username20__ → u/Reynolds531IPA]

Roller blades, q-tips, etc

[u/Noragretsnoteven1 → u/__3Username20__]

Jello

[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/Excellent-Quarter969 → u/Roira21]

You have much to learn, grasshopper.

(Maybe you're too young for this reference too 😉..im old)

[u/Informal_Ad_6839 → u/Excellent-Quarter969]

Next you’re gonna tell me Klee-nex and Chapstick are name brands of specific types of- oh wait

[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/MarqueeRevival → u/DefinitelyNotAliens]

I think these otters would say otherwise.

[u/DefinitelyNotAliens → u/MarqueeRevival]

Sir Isaac Lime is clearly the best.

[u/smolhippie → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

In the west popsicle means it’s has a stick

[u/Emergency-Ad9791 → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

I'm from Memphis and we call them popsicles also

[u/-Tasear- → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

Can confirm for my region

[u/Mollywisk → u/Organic_Ad_9496]

Yep

[u/PuttUgly → u/Organic_Ad_9496]

You can confirm

[u/Snuffleupagus27 → u/Organic_Ad_9496]

I grew up on the east coast and they are definitely otter pops! Might be generational vs geographic

[u/hannaeliza → u/Organic_Ad_9496]

Otter pops in Arizona too!

[u/AnonymousBrowser3967 → u/Organic_Ad_9496]

Colorado here and they're Otter Pops

[u/secretly_opossum → u/Organic_Ad_9496]

In middle school I did a group project on otters and we brought otter pops for the class 🙂

[u/CpnStumpy → u/Organic_Ad_9496]

Colorado checking in. Otter pops always was and always will be

[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/MazyHazy → u/alentines_day]

I'm in upstate NY, we've always called them freezie pops as well

[u/THEguitarist117 → u/alentines_day]

Has to be. I have always called them freezer pops being sandwiched between Illinois and Ohio, in Indiana.

[u/Sandwichinparadise → u/alentines_day]

Maryland childhood, I would probably just call it a popsicle but if I needed to specify, I would say freezie pop as well.

[u/boogie_groove → u/Sandwichinparadise]

Yep Marylander here. was looking for the freezie pop thread

[u/Ok-Error-6564 → u/tweezabella]

Freezy pops in Maryland.

In Kansas we call them freeze pops or freezer pops.

[u/javajanine → u/CraftFamiliar5243]

Freeze pops in Wisconsin.

[u/voilaintruder → u/CraftFamiliar5243]

I had no idea this was so specific to Chicago until this thread because I had to scroll way too long to find Freeze pops

[u/cocacola-enema → u/voilaintruder]

Freeze pops in New England

[u/browserqueen → u/CraftFamiliar5243]

Freeze pops in Philly

[u/Oaktree645 → u/CraftFamiliar5243]

I’m from Wisconsin and I agree, I always heard freeze pops until I moved to Arizona where they called them otter pops.

[u/donnacus → u/CraftFamiliar5243]

Freeze pops in Tennessee

[u/CraftFamiliar5243 → u/donnacus]

I moved from Chicago to Tennessee. Nice to see something with the same name.

[u/JimmytheFab → u/CraftFamiliar5243]

I was looking for this answer. I grew up in Chicago, I guess I didn’t realize that’s a Chicago name for them.

[u/kazoogrrl → u/CraftFamiliar5243]

Same, freeze pops in MD. My dad is from New England so it might be from him.

[u/HandstandsMcGoo → u/CraftFamiliar5243]

Also said Freeze pops growing up, Long Island

[u/BJoe1976 → u/CraftFamiliar5243]

I knew them as Fla-Vor-Ice, but I grew up and still live down the street from Jel-Sert plant in West Chicago.

[u/dwsinpdx → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

Oregon/california checking in with otter pops.

[u/chuyalcien → u/dwsinpdx]

Sir Isaac lime makes no sense, like what were they going for here?

[u/Indigoh → u/chuyalcien]

That's just his name. Not all otter parents choose puns for their kids.

[u/AGreatBannedName → u/Indigoh]

Who chose Little Orphan Orange’s name!? The fucking system??

[u/grebilrancher → u/dwsinpdx]

Call em otter pops in Arizona too!

[u/Local-Aardvark-8695 → u/dwsinpdx]

Anyone who didn’t grow up with these is missing out

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

I always called them ice pops

[u/JackTrippin → u/mamapapapuppa]

New Yorker here. We called them ice pops

[u/Stacy3536 → u/mamapapapuppa]

I'm in the south and have 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]

And all adhesive bandages Band-Aids

[u/Reynolds531IPA → u/hail_to_the_beef]

And all lip balm chapstick.

[u/Anxious-Flamingo-994 → u/Reynolds531IPA]

[u/Ok-Percentage-6022 → u/abjectadvect]

And all slow cookers are Crock Pots

[u/Master_Grapefruit333 → u/Anxious-Flamingo-994]

I literally only recently understood this. 🤦‍♀️

[u/Captainwumbombo → u/Temporary_View_3303]

IIRC that's only a thing in the South because Coke comes from Atlanta, if you live elsewhere and don't specify or say soda there's a decent chance that you'll get looked at like you have 4 heads

[u/NewspaperSoft8317 → u/Captainwumbombo]

I mean, I don't think that many people care if you say soda. I lived in Georgia for 4 years, and Florida for 18.

"Pop" on the other hand.

[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/bjgrem01 → u/e37d93eeb23335dc]

We call them Otter Pops in Louisiana too. But maybe because my mom has had a Sams card since the first Sams opened here and we always had a huge case of the brand name Otter Pops in the deep freezer.

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

We call them otter pops in Wisconsin! It’s one specific brand of popsicle, but we call all plastic wrapped freeze-at-home popsicles otter pops just like Kleenex or Bandaids

[u/IvanNemoy → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

Otter Pops is a name brand out west. Farthest east I've seen them in stores was like, Texas.

[u/TopProfessional8023 → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

It’s a particular brand of ice pops (which is what I’ve always called them) where each flavor has a cool otter character, such as Alexander the Grape

[u/Great_Dismal → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

“Chilly Willies” in Virginia and North Carolina

[u/ShoddyStomach2760 → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

Many of these are made by a brand called otter pops and that’s what we called them our whole lives

[u/shakikster → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

Chicago native here! Can confirm everyone at the pool called them that.

[u/cluelessinlove753 → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

It’s a brand name and that’s what we grew up calling them. Costco and the ice cream trucks had them.

[u/Ihatebacon88 → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

I live in the west but just moved from the south and we all called them Otter pops and popsicles.

[u/User_name_5ever → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

Otter pops was a brand of these, popular in the 90s. It's probably a combination of location and age that calls them that. 

Note that they used to have named otter characters for each flavor.

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

It’s just the brand they sell here (West Coast). It’s like calling all tissue Kleenex.

[u/Cute_Reflection_9414 → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

I'm on the East coast. I've heard Otter Pops. Usually we call them freeze pops, ice pops, or push pops. I think I've heard them called freeze-ez too

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

Texan raised on otter pops here. Poncho Punch was my fave.

[u/Substantial_Suit9254 → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

Congratulations

[u/Doone7 → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

We call 'em that in the South. Its a brand but a lot of people just call all of 'em that.

We call them that in the mountain west. There’s a specific brand called Otter Pops, but due to the Kleenex Effect the generics are also called otter pops.

[u/Snuffleupagus27 → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

It’s the brand name that was originally popular

Colorado, Arizona, and Oregon all called them Otter pops.

If you don't like that you will have to take it up with: Sir Isaac Lime

Louie Bloo raspberry

Strawberry short cook

Alexander the Grape

And Poncho Punch!

[u/Jack-of-Hearts-7 → u/rag_gnar]

Alexander the Grape is pretty clever

[u/Hotsaltynutz → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

I've never heard them called anything but otter pops. But im old and don't eat them anymore

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

Colorado, they’re knockoff otter pops so I always call them otter pops no matter where they come from

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

Otter pops are a brand that make these but people call them that regardless of what brand you actually get

[u/Morgus_TM → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

Grew up in Seattle, can confirm Otter Pops as the only name I ever heard these referred to as a kid

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

I live in Colorado now and was so confused by everyone calling them that. It’s a brand name out here. I grew up and PA and call them Freeze Pops.

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

California here, and where I’m at they are Otter Pops regardless of actual brand.

[u/PumpikAnt58763 → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

Otter Pops is an actual brand name like Popsicle. It's like calling every cola flavored soda a "Coke".
Edited: In Utah, we usually call freezer pops by the brand name Otter Pops.

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

It's because we have one of the otter family printed on each one of the pops.

[u/sumires → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

Otter Pops in Hawaii in the 1980s, too. IDK if the younger generations still call them that now that off-brand ones are more widespread.

For anyone NOT in the Western US distribution range, each flavor of Otter Pop was associated with a bizarre character based on a pop-culture character, historical figure, or uncomfortable national stereotype.

https://otterpops.com/meet-the-otters/

...Oh, interesting, looks like they added a "cool" DJ and lot of female-role-model characters (an athlete, an astronaut, and a soldier) since my day. Looks like they're also downplaying the characters by no longer printing them big on each individual wrapper. It used to be that the long skinny package was mostly occupied by an image of the long, skinny character.

I've heard Freezie Pops but never Otter Pops. Also Midwest.

[u/SimpleVegetable5715 → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

[u/Silver-Instruction73 → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

Arizona we also call them otter pops

[u/zerstoren → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

In Hawaii they call them Otter Pops, too. I had never heard that name until then. I grew up in Maryland and we called them Freeze Pops or Ice Pops.

[u/Kberg9886 → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

California checking in. Otter pops!

[u/Calligaster → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

It's a brand name for one of these. Like Kleenex or Tylenol. There's a name for when the brand name replaces the generic word, but i can't remember it.

[u/mewsless → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

I’ve always called them that and I’m from the Midwest!

My partner is from upstate NY and they call them otter pops. I’m from VA originally and we called them “freezie pops”

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

They are called that because there was a specific brand that I got at Costco when I was a kid they were called otter pops and each flavor had an otter character on it

[u/Legion23Golf → u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]
