What is "ice pop"

n. 1 A snack made of frozen juice on a stick; an ice lolly or popsicle. 2 (context UK English) A frozen snack consisting of flavoured ice in a tube; a freeze pop.

An ice pop is a water-based frozen snack. It is also referred to as a popsicle ( Canada, U.S.), freezer pop ( Ireland, U.S.), ice lolly ( United Kingdom, Ireland), ice block, icy pole (parts of Australia and New Zealand), or chihiro ( Cayman Islands). It is made by freezing flavored liquid (such as fruit juice) around a stick, generally resembling a tongue depressor. Often, the juice is colored artificially. Once the liquid freezes solid, the stick can be used as a handle to hold the ice pop. When an ice pop does not have a stick, it is called, among other names, a freezie.
