Do you have Zooper Doopers in America?

If not, why not?

I make no apologies for the pointlessness and frivolity of this post.

You should. Zooper Dooper sounds way cooler than "freeze pops" which is something a cop would say to an old man.

When I was a kid they were Otter Pops



They probably still make them but I haven't seen them in the wild for decades, I guess kids hate otters now or something

Sir Isaac looks like he has tenure at a small North Eastern Liberal Arts college.

My mom would never let me have Otter Pops as a kid because she said they caused cancer.

All other popsicles were fine. Just for some reasons those ones caused cancer. This included non-Otter Pop knock-offs. Something about being in tube form equaled cancer.

When I questioned her about this as an adult she said she never said that and had no idea why they would be carcinogenic.

I feel like a major part of childhood was stolen from me.

Sucking and chewing on the plastic sleeve isn't great for you but I don't think it's gonna give you cancer.

My theory is that, as this was soon after the Red 3 cancer scare of the 80's, my mom saw something about these being one of the many things of the era that presumably contained that food coloring, but for whatever reason fixated on Otter Pops specifically as causing cancer.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

No these things were much worse. They literally tasted like burning

are you sure you don't call them freezies because they're frozen?

Yes that is too much of a reach for a bunch of children I think. It implies we understood that the unfrozen sugar water tubes would freeze, so because they freeze we would call them freezies

In Canada, for better or for worse the market for "freeze pops" is dominated by the Mr.Freeze brand. We see snowboarding devo snowman Mr.Freeze and associate him with our frozen treats
