Sunnyboys. The best part was that the syrup would settle, and you’d get one corner of intense flavour with the consistency of crushed ice.
In Michigan I’ve always heard them called freezies.
In the UK they are called ice pops. Except in Liverpool, where they are pop ices. (They also reverse “ice lolly” (the type with a wooden stick) to “lolly ice”. No idea why.)
The pyramid-shaped ones are called Jubblys (Jubblies? Don’t know how to pluralize it). Apparently they are still for sale, but I haven’t seen them for years.
That’s what we called 'em when I was a kid in California in the 1950’s.
Wisconsin, 1970s-1980s. Push-ups. Dairy Queen had them. You’d be given a fat straw to do the pushing from the bottom. If you weren’t careful the plastic cracked and your parents would be pissed off at the resulting mess on the car seat or clothes.
Push-ups are different than what the OP is describing. I believe this is a Dairy Queen push-up, no? That’s what I call a “push-up,” too. The stuff in the OP we called a freeze(r) pop. The most common brand around here was Flavor-Ice. I don’t recall hearing about Otter Pops until much, much later, possibly only when I joined this board.
That’s kind of like the things I was talking about in post #9, but they were orange sherbet/ice cream.
Yeah, the orange ones are the ones I’m familiar with as, well.
I’m just confused, because a couple of people have answered “push-ups” but the OP is explaining something that is Kool-aid in plastic tubes designed to be frozen. Push-ups weren’t really like Kool-Aid, and they didn’t come in plastic tubes to my recollection–they were cardboard tubes. And the “designed to be frozen” part suggests they have an unfrozen state they are commonly found in. So, these things.
My question is for those answering “push ups” was that term used for the Otter Pops/freeze pops/Fla-Vor-Ice popsicles, or are you referring specifically to those push-up style pops?
Hmmm, Fla-Vor-Ices were around in my childhood but I don’t recall what we called them generally. Maybe it was “freeze pop”… I’m pretty sure they weren’t called by their brand name. I do remember that they were looked down upon to actual name-brand Popsicles 
, generally a sure sign that the Mom who had Fla-Vor-Ices in her freezer for the neighborhood kids who dropped by was cheap. Even homemade Kool-Aid ice-cube tray pops were more well received.
Well, when I saw the word “tube” in the OP, my mind immediately jumped to something shaped like a circular cylinder open at the ends (like the tube in a roll of toilet paper or paper towels), which made me think of push-ups; but when I read on I realized that wasn’t what the OP was talking about.
We’ve always called them “Freezies”, and the brand name around here is “Mr. Freeze.” I’ve never seen an “Otter Pop”.
Popsicles are the frozen ices on a wooden stick that melt all over the place if you don’t eat them fast enough.
the home made thing might just get called popsicles because they were close in flavor and consistency to the commercial product.
with commercial frozen treats, Pushups or especially Fudgsicles, you could freeze your lips to them because they were kept cold. home made popsicles were safer and melted fast.
I knew them as icys (icees?).
They’ll always be Kool Pops to me.
An Icee is a frozen drink that comes in a cup and drank through a straw. Like a Slurpee or Slushie.
We called the things you’re describing slushies.
Icee is the brand name. I think Icee, Slurpee and Slushie are all basically the same thing.
Yes, I’m just saying that in my experience, which is apparently a rare one, if you wanted flavored slush in a cup, you asked for a slushie and if you wanted flavored ice in a plastic tube, you asked for an icy.
You had wood!? We would have killed for wood.
In Michigan I’ve always heard them called ice pops. Or Fla-Vor-Ice (but that’s the brand name so doesn’t count). Never heard of freezies.
