I never had a Popsicle in the early years. It was always Hershey's single ice pops from the corner store...in root beer. I remember some ice pop in cola. I don't know if it was Hershey's.

The biggest challenge was when purchasing a Hershey's single-serve ice cream cup. I had to try & fish around for the little individually-wrapped wooden sticks that could be anywhere...to eat it...while not falling in to the big giant freezer case.

Wow...I thought I was the only person to remember vanilla popsicles. Yes, they had those and the root beer. I would break them both in half and eat a half of each together. That way...I could have it twice !! And it was always very hard to get a vanilla one. I don't know if they sold out of those 1st, or they just didn't order as many to have in stock. Or maybe the store owner and his family ate all of those up before they made it out to the store ?

Think I remember the cream soda ones too. Oh yes...and the pineapple was great too. I haven't kept up with the new flavors they have today. I want to go back !!
I remember the banana yummy fudgsicle type too.

Yes. Red cherry Orange orange Green lime Brown root beer and Purple grape. I did not care for the banana seemed artificial, even if I didn't know the word. Cost a nickel, and I had to share half with by brother, which is hard to split the sticks sometimes with small fingers. When it broke top and bottom, I gave him the short half or no sticks usually. But we always did every other time who chooses the flavor. Root beer was my personal fave, followed by any color that made your tongue or your bare belly turn color. Then we would rinse our sticky fingers in the wading pool in the back yard or run under a hose. The corner store was only a block and half away and sometimes a round trip could take an hour. My mom wasn't concerned in the least how long we were gone, probably glad to get rid of us actually. Now, I wouldn't let my kids out the back yard alone.

Well, since we seem to be talking generically, and not about the trademarked brand, I will give my memory from the mid-60's: Good Humor Tiger Stripes. For years, I thought it was a rootbeer ice pop, but root beer ices I have had are not quite the same. Then, a few years back, I found what was missing: it was not just a root beer ice pop; the stripes of brown and orange were root beer and orange ices. Still never tasted anything like it (although A&W serves a drink with those flavors, and you can always add some orange juice to root beer).

Fun subject. I was at my local food market today, and bought some blue rasperry popsicles.They also had banana.In talking with one of the workers at the check-out, I asked her what flavors she remembered.( I am 50, she is probably 60) She distinctly remembers pineapple flavored( I do too-loved them) and she said when she was young, there was a 7 UP flavor....

I liked banana. Dream (or Cream)sicles came also, I believe, in strawberry. And didn't someone make a similar treat that had some kind of crunchies in the outer coat?

The Strawberry Crunch Bar .. they make a few different kinds .. the best one had more golden crunchies on the outside with strawberry surrounded by ice cream on the inside .. the cheaper kind was overly pink crunchies and too much pink inside very little ice cream .. pictures of both on yahoo doing "stawberry crunch bar" image search

Hood in New England produces a variety pack with Orange, Root Beer, Banana, Grape, Blue Raspberry & Cherry.

Root beer & Banana definitely my favorites. I don't understand the toxic waste dump raspberry, but I keep buying the pack for the others.

Hey there So---------for those bannana popsickles-----make some simple syrup----equall amounts water and sugar in a pan heat until it is WELL dissolved---use this to make the popsicles-it blends better then just sugar---then mix water--simple syrup and bannana flavoring to taste and freeze---easy as pie---hmm actually easier then pie!

Cinnamon (or Red Hot) Popsicles, back in late Fifties/early Sixties. Very dark red in color (much more so than cherry) and *very* hot, just like the candy. Sometimes wonder if I dreamed the whole thing; no one else seems remembers them but they sure were great.

Does anyone have the recipe for banana popsicles--the sugar/water one--not the healthy ones with real bananas in them????

As a kid in the 70's I remember vanilla & rootbeer being the fun , exotic flavors. I also remember Good Humor trucks selling cola ice (italian ice in a cup)--whatever happened to those? I would love to get my hands on some now!

I'm in the unique position of having been an ice cream driver who grew up in a mom and pop grocery just outside of Chicago (River Grove, Il). The Popsicle cases I delivered were marked O-C-G (orange-cherry-grape) or R-B-L (root beer-banana-lime). These are the combination packs still being marketed. When I was a kid in our store, the popsicles were sold from bulk pack boxes, two sticks per break apart pop and one flavor per box. We always had 6 or 8 flavors in a roll top freezer. The odd ones that stick out in my memoty are licorice (oddly a white popsicle) and a pale blue berry flavor.
Cheers!
Bill

Thank You!

The closest store to me is almost 20 miles, that seems strange, this store is across the stateline in Indiana, maybe they are not available in Michigan. I will check this out the next time I get that way.

Thanks again!

Garry

The blue popsicles were raspberry-flavored. We could only buy them from the ice cream truck, not from stores.

Re: Creamsicles and Dreamsicles: If memory serves me, Creamsicles had orange sherbet on the outside and vanilla ice cream (or ice milk) inside. Dreamsicles, on the other hand, had orange popsicle on the outside with vanilla ice cream (or ice milk) inside.

I thought the middle (clear) section of a rocket popsicle (those red, white, and blue popsicles) tasted like a 7-up popsicle. But I don't remember any 7-up flavor, except the ones we made in the freezer in Tupperware with 7-up and a little orange juice.

Hello All,
My experiences with popsicles were first in the 60's. Loved the root beer, banana and cherry.
Rick F., I remember the strawberry thing you are talking about. They also had a chocolate.
But I can't recall what they were called.
Take Care,
Fieldthistle

Our Carnation man delivered them if I remember right.

Mar,

I, too, loved the Banana flavor but I believe that was a Fudgesicle, not Popsicle, flavor.

Does anyone remember popsicles that tasted like 7 UP? I loved those ones! I grew up in flint Michigan and I got them from men selling them from those push carts with bells on them. I saw a guy with one about a year ago in Chicago and I pulled over and asked for one but alas! no 7 Up popsicle. They had push ups though. I didn't like them as a kid though....Is there a compnay who makes 7 Up popsicles?

The best flavors were the ones that would turn your mouth orange, or blue, or purple, or whatever.

Zataar, you are right. Originally (I'm talking about the late 50's, early 60's), there was a blue popsicle that tasted like vanilla, or cream soda. THEN the blue raspberry came along and has stayed that way ever since. I, for one, wished that they had stayed with the original blue. A blue cream popsicle, a hot July, at East Beach in New Bedford, Ma - heaven for a six year old girl!

OMG! I forgot about the first Blue popsickle until You mentioned it! I think it was suppose to be a imitation berry flavor, but you're right, it tasted more like cream soda than berry! What You are talking about had to be at least 45 years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
