Thank goodness for you too - I was a lone voice there!

Pop ice and lolly ice in Liverpool world!

Both is correct- they’re ice pops, Tip Top was a brand of them. Some places called them ice poles.

Tip Top was also the can of condensed creamy stuff. That plastic cup everyone is posting was called a Big Time!

And a Jubbly was a triangle

Pop Ice (Liverpool)

Thank goodness - I was beginning to think I’d imagined them being pop ices (also Liverpool, but my brought-up-in-Yorkshire children all say ice pop, so I fell into the habit of saying it too).

Freeze pop, but I’d figure ice pop was a synonym.

ChristianHornersGlisteningFinger · 05/03/2024 23:47

I had totally forgotten the frozen drinks in a plastic cup that melted a bit with your hands around them. Happy days!

Quenchy cup is about right for those. Or maybe Kwenchy?

thing in pic is an ice pole.

Freeze pop or ice pole

Tip top is evaporated milk

ZaZathecat · 05/03/2024 23:02

They are ice pops but when I was a child (1960s) there was a brand of them called Tip Tops, so I guess that's why some people called them that.

Cool pop (Dublin)

Tip top

Notimeforaname · 05/03/2024 22:00

In Dublin they're called Cool pops.
What most of you call ice lollies, are called ice pops here.

A Frozen drink

Or a Mr Freeze.

Ice pop.
Tiptop is milk/dream stuff in a can.
Those drinks in a plastic cup are Calypso cups.

Ice pole

Clevs · 05/03/2024 21:09

I also used to call them ice pops but only if they were the shorter ones. The long ones were ice poles or Mr Freeze (if the shop sold the branded ones).

BCBird · 05/03/2024 21:07

Nooooo the ice cup.was a Jublee
