    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!

    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 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!
