popsicle i think that is the american name for it
Ahh, you speak of the "icy pole" as it is known among us of the oceanic persuasion. Oft confused with "Ice Cream" the Icy Pole contains no traces of dairy product and some claim it to be nothing but flavoured ice with perhaps a touch of softener.
It's a good idea, but it's winter time down here, so icy poles aren't around so much (although I suppose i could just go to the shops and get one).
Unforunately sugar seems to do bad things to my mouth also. As does salt... Truly mine is a fate worse than death OH THE BLANDNESS, WHEN WILL IT END!?!?!
