Apparently People Have Different Names For—And Very Strong Opinions About—These Frozen Treats

Apparently People Have Different Names For—And Very Strong Opinions About—These Frozen Treats
@linguists4pete/Twitter, @fetusleen/Twitter

Spring has sprung and summer is near, which means it's time for us to stock our freezers with the most tasty frozen treats to make us feel like a kid again.

You know what I'm talking about. The frozen sticks of artificially flavored fruit juices in every color of the rainbow. Red dye 40? Yes, please!

The treats are known as Otter Pops—or more generically, freezer pops—but others remember their favorite brain-freezing delights by other names.


Twitter user @fetusleen asked people two very pressing questions:

"It's dead summer. your mom comes home from the store with THESE. what do u call these and what is the best color?"


Otter Pops, which are purportedly made from 100% real fruit juice, sit on store shelves typically at room temperature for consumers to freeze back home. The seven colors and flavors depict different cartoon characters, each with a wacky name.

These include:

Blue (blue raspberry): Louie-Bloo Raspberry, Pink (strawberry): Strawberry Short Kook, Green (lemon-lime): Sir Isaac Lime, Red (fruit punch ): Poncho Punch, Purple (grape): Alexander the Grape, Orange (orange): Little Orphan Orange.

There used to be Yellow (lemon): Rip Van Lemon, but the flavor was discontinued in the 1970s.

The tweet received over 19k likes and people shared their favorite flavors.









There are also the rejected flavors that remain in the freezer.






How do you prioritize the flavors?





While the frozen treats satisfy our sweet tooth at a pool party, not everyone has good memories of Otter Pops.



Depending on the region, some people just called them popsicles.






So, what are YOUR favorite flavors?

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
