That Calippo looks like what I learned to call a "Push Up".

I swear I have never seen anything like either of those things in my life! They look like the offspring of lipstick and a stick of dynamite. :lol:

To be honest, I haven't seen one in years, but I'm not much interested in frozen novelties any more. It's all goat milk caramel gelato and blood orange granita for this middle-aged bougie fag.

Even though it has no stick? We have both Calippo and stuff that works like your Push Up, but I wouldn't just see them as different flavours or anything. Although I'm not sure what to call them other than by their name.
Please correct my mistakes!

I think Calippo is our favourite popsicle (if you can consider it one) for people my age.
It has the advantage that the melted juice doesn't drip on the floor, but you can drink it after you finish eating the ice. :P
(while boys make sexual jokes about girls eating Calippo)


While these are 棒棒冰. Inside the container there's fruit-flavoured ice, and you squeeze the plastic tube to let the ice melt, and suck the melted ice from the narrow end. So it's like a sort of packaged shaved ice.
Or you break them in two in the middle and eat the ice.

For the frozen snack on a stick, like the image sennacherib posted at the beginning of this thread:

US West Coast English: popsicle
Mexican Spanish: paleta helada (also just paleta)
Estonian: pulgajäätis
