    They are best when you have about an inch of ice left but you have a lot of melted sugar water behind and you suck the water through that inch of ice.

    Am I not right?

    Omgosh yes. The best part.

    We call them popsicles where I am.

    Then what do you call these?

    Thank-you, that is my question too!
    That is a popsicle, OP's pic is a freezie

    We call both of them popsicles. Just different kinds. The only one I can think of that is specifically referred to is the red, white and blue..."bomb pops".

    I have known some people who call the plastic encased ones "Otter Pops" if they're specifically from that brand. But usually all of it's just "popsicles" here in my area (Missouri).

    ETA: my husband has been in my area for about 20 years but grew up in Washington state and Arkansas...he says in both places, popsicles are the ones on a stick and the plastic encased ones were known as "freeze pops" to him until he moved here and everyone calls them ALL popsicles. So I get the confusion!

    Freezer pops and the ones you break in half are popsicles. That’s in my house anyway.

    Incorrect . ;)

    The best part is when you break them up into a slushy mix before opening and get the sweet, sugary taste the entire time.

    “Freezey thingies. You know, the sugar water ones in the plastic pouch.” In New York.

    ETA: “No, no. Not the ones on a stick. The other ones.”

    In Sydney Australia OP - the ones you posted above are called ice blocks usually.

    but if you get ones which are not just water and fake colour, and you have actual juice, I call them frozen juice tubes. I think the school canteen calls them that too.

    EDIT to add picture and discover that on the packet they're called something else.

    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.

    Trolley. UK.
