In Toronto Canada we call these freezies.
I know in some places in America they call them freeze pops or an ice pop.

    Florida, USA - I've said freeze pops, ice pops, and juice pops. Pretty much "something" pop.

    What do you call the thing you hold your groceries in while you push it through the store? We call it a carriage where I'm from but now I live where they call it a cart.

    A cart also or Grocery cart.

    If you told me to go get a carriage I’d think you’re talking about a baby carriage.

    We don't really have those here but the closest thing we have are called "duros", which translates literally to "hard". This is what they look like

    Older people in the south tend to call them buggies. I say cart.

    Those look huge or is it just the picture? I wonder where you’re from where they don’t sell freezies.

    They are much much bigger than your freezes. I mean we can get them at some of the supermarkets but they are not really part of the culture.

    You just kind of bite into the side of it and tear some of the plastic off with your teeth. Then through the hole in the plastic, you push the rest of it out.

    As a kid in the Midwest I called them ice pops. As a teen when I lived in Mexico they are called bolis (pronounced “bowl-EEse”) Here in California my bf calls them Otter pops. The ones with the two sticks in the bottom are popsicles. Except if they are single sticks, then they are just known as “bullets” which I don’t see for sale anymore, maybe they changed the name or went out of business? As a kid in Illinois, we practically lived off of bullets all summer long!
