A popsicle is a popsicle. A frozen ice pop on a stick. Just like the box says. Many variations thereof. A popsicle is not a sucker or lollipop, which is hard candy on a stick.
Isn't this common knowledge to the average 4 year old?
Only time I ever heard "sickle" is when someone just decided not to say pop first. Which was rarely. I'm in upstate NY.
OMG! A Mister Softee truck! I haven't seen one of those since I left NYC in '79!
My fave popsicle, Bomb Pop! YUMMY! (I also like Fudge Bomb, which falls into the Fudgesicle category, not quite ice-cream, not quite a popsicle)
Fave ice-cream bar, it's a toss up between a Creamsicle and a Good Humor Strawberry shortcake.
But from the Mister Softee trucks? A soft serve vanilla cone w/ rainbow sprinkles! Do they even serve those anymore?

LOL! That's not quite the same thing as the malted ice-cream, Monkey. And BTW...I use that canned milk in my tea and my oatmeal!

Yep, we still have them. There is one that parks a few blocks south of me at work and on a really hot day I have ice cream for lunch! But I like the twist cone with chocolate sprinkles.
We used to have teenagers on bikes here called "Dickie Dees" and I recall my fave was a "Dracula Delight" a creamsicle with red juice in it simulating blood. The guys would usually sell you some Dry ice for a quarter.
I remember in high school a friend of mine started dating a girl whose Uncle made Ice Cream and got a box of Dracula Delights, it was like he found the Ark of Covenant.

Cool! I remember when they'd mix the chocolate flavoring in the vanilla and it wouldn't entirely mix, and when you got a chocolate cone, it looked like microscopic chocolate chips were in the ice-cream. Ahh...memories.

I WILL say that those Strawberry Shortcake thingies
are a food engineering miracle in my mind.
