New Zealanders call it an ice block, as do some Aussies. Other Aussies call it an icy pole. Popsicle is a brand name, so calling an ice block a Popsicle is like calling a tissue a Kleenex to me.

Quattro stagione. The Big Americans Supreme. with pepperoni, ham, mushrooms and capsicum(sp?).

I haven't found thatr in the supermarket yet of any other brand. Now I'm eating a hawaii.

i suppose it is a brand name, perhaps the most dominant, way beyond kleenex. i mean, i know kleenex are tissues, and xerox = copy, etc, but a popsicle is a popsicle.

 

[Varitek]

though, the brits i worked for called them "lollys" indistinct from the nonfrozen lolipops

I've never met an Australian who doesn't say "ice block". Anyone who says "icy pole" is borderline retarded as far as I'm concerned.

(Naturally, apologies to anyone here who happens to say "icy pole".)

I thought it was a Kiwism. I never knew Australians even used "ice block" until I left Queensland.

Which perhaps says it all.

Oh, and the power blacked out for a little while over here.

Shall I tell you all my Story?

 

[Cin]

I never say ice-block and always say icy pole

ice cream cones are called licky ice-creams in our house

No, the term "ice block" surely developed in one of the parts of Australia where the people have brains (i.e. SA and Vic), and spread down south to Tassie and NZ, presumably, although nobody could be arsed going up to Queensland so those guys had to come up with their own dumb substitute.

Sorry.

 

[Galeongirl]

Here we call those ice creams on a stick water icecream.... we dont have a specific name..

 

[The Sad Punk]

water icecream

Okay, that makes icy pole sound like high literature.

 

[Axver]

Ali, tell us the Story.

Also, at the avatar!

 

[Galeongirl]

well there's two different ice creams for us
waterijs = water ice cream, is the popsicle kind..
roomijs = litt cream ice cream, which is like cornetto and magnum and all the non watery ice creams

 

[Varitek]

waterice is a particular different thing, slushie-like.

Oh, right. Makes sense.

Well, in any case, ice blocks are delicious regardless of the name.

 

[Varitek]

we call the magnums and doves and ben+jerrys on a stick etc ice cream bars.

 

[Galeongirl]

No, that's schaaf ijs.

 

[Alisaura]

ice = frozen water
cream = really thick milk
ice cream = frozen water plus really thick milk

ice cream made of water and no cream = ... ice?

*hides from GG's wrath*






Very well, I shall tell the Story, as my 19,000th post.

Ooooh you met a Dutchie?

yes and fell head over heals after 20 minutes of flirting, but then after i gave him my number had to tell him "oh by the way i'm gone til the end of january" and he was all "oh." in a very flat way so i shoulda got his number and offered to call when i got back, but i didn't, so now i have to wait and maybe never see him again, after the best 20 minute flirt of my life.
