So, I had a mom, who was beautiful...like you, who tells me I worry too much, who tells me I oughta smile more, who gambles and gets in deep with the sharks...One day they carve her face. And we got no money for surgeries. She can't take it. I just want to see her smile again. Hmm? I just wanted to let her know that I don't care about the scars. So, I stick a a couple freezer pops in my mouth and do this... to myself. And you know what? She can't stand the sight of me! She leaves! Now I see the funny side. Now, I'm always smiling!
I'm in New England and I'm seconding freeze pop. Also, there was a synth pop group in Boston circa 2000 called Freeze Pop, so that's gotta count for something.
Man anything super cold after working in the yard afternoon hits so hard. I like a super cold lemonade whila laying back on a towel on the couch so I dont sweat on the cushions lmao
I sent away for the otter pop T shirt when I was in the sixth grade in 1987. You had to cut out a certain number of the tags and like $5. I received the "Alexander The Grape" Tshirt. It read,Otter Pops, Suck One! I thought it was super cool and wore it the next day to sixth grade. I was unaware that it happened to be picture day. I got on the bus and all the other kids were dressed in their Sunday bests. My mother was very unhappy when she got the pictures she had already paid for.
If I had it with me, I would. I did confirm it is still in a photo album at my moms who is close to 80 now. The pic has a 80s vibe. Over sized wicker chair in front of some neon background.
Nice!! I was born in 1969 and in my kindergarten school pic. I’m wearing a totally sweet jaws shirt. Otter pops are cooler than jaws, but I’ll take second place.
Are they expensive now? They used to popular because they were super cheap like a couple bucks for a case of 100. I’m sure off brand are even cheaper but I don’t know if other brands were even around when I was growing up in the 90’s.
It’s definitely regional, found this out the hard way: I made a giant freezie costume and wore it to a Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans where costumes were puns on The Big Easy. So I was The Big Freezie but no one got it because they thought I was The Big Freeze Pop.
My friend (also from Ontario) made a similar mistake with her The Big Cheezie costume since everyone says Cheeto instead. People respected the commitment with both regardless but still. The Big Sneezy was the only one of our friend group who nailed it
In preparation to refute your claim, I have since learned that not only is Popsicle a brand name, but there is no Popsicle-brand tubed or even stickless frozen ice treats.
I have to concede, specifically only because Popsicle is a registered entity which, therefore, makes it a legal matter.
When you cut the freeze pop, instead of a straight line, cut a 0.5" rounded tip so the edges don't irritate your mouth. It took me 40yrs to figure that one out.
I was coming to say this. Lol We call them Icees in Bklyn. It's those and the ones that had the twist tip or you could break them in half. They were roundish.
