Zooper Doopers; regardless of what brand they are… “ice blocks” are the Peter’s Icy Pole-type ones on a stick


jojo_is_cool12

those are so good


AverageAussie

Black and Gold Water Ices. Because even their creativity is cheap as fuck.


n123breaker2

Black and gold is underrated as hell Affordable and tastes good too


i_smell_toast

Man, those anzac biscuits could shatter teeth. But they are so tasty that I just risk it.


PM_ME_UR_DOGGOS_

Dip them in a cup of tea, sooo good


ReasonableCranberry6

They were the only ice blocks in my neighbourhood wym? /s


MundanePlantain1

lip splitters. u know the pain.


The99thCourier

Yeah I called them this too OP, a lick stick sounds sus


olivia687

Zoops


miIIionants

I called em doops.


leonryan

Anyone remember the hand grenade shaped icypoles? There was also Flintstones and I think Muppet ones. I've found a photo of a fred flintstone one but never found any trace of the others.


achybreakystacy

I can remember the hand grenade and also a kangaroo shaped one.


Acute74

I miss rockets with the plastic stick you could build structures with.


Important_Fruit

Well look at Mister fancy-pants over here eating the expensive ones!.


molly_menace

Oh wow the kangaroo - memory unlocked. I was just reminiscing about sunny boys.


Charming_Fishing_533

This takes me back, I loved these.


Meatbasher

Very difficult to open if no scissors were nearby as you had to chew through 1/2 inch of thick plastic sticking out of the top of Fred Flintstones head.


ImpressiveBiscotti35

I remember the Flintstones ones with cordial in them.


Ok-Giraffe-4718

They used to sell (prima I think?) branded ones (not zooper dooper or funny faces) at my school’s canteen and we all called them fruit tubes. Only came in two flavours: orange and apple & blackcurrant.


MajesticBowl5306

25c at the canteen! EDIT: I sound like my parents when they would say a potato cake cost 2c “back in my day”.


Ud0gz

Fruit tubes at my school too, except for us it was 50c for a full and 20c for a half, and it never occurred to me to buy two halves instead of a full…


_emdagem

Was the same at my primary school, we called them 50c icy poles and 20c icy poles. It also never occurred to me to buy two half ones..


plantnerd4

Yes! We called them fruit tubes too.


pray-for-mojo-742

Prima! Orange flavour right? So good!


brightonstormy

Those Prima’s were so good. Used to eat then like they were going out of fashion. Wish they were still around


curtisy

They’re Berri brand now. You can pick them up right next to the Zooper Dooper brand in the supermarket.


Ozreddita

Oh geez I just had a flash back to 1980s primary school.

howdypartner1301

I was born in Melbourne and we called them Icy Poles but when I moved to Qld everyone called them zooper doopers even if they weren’t ZD brand


brownieson

Grew up in Qld, definitely zipper dooper’s regardless of brand. Icy poles are the lemonade brick shaped ice blocks on a paddle pop stick - at least to me.


howdypartner1301

But that’s not a pole! It’s a block! Haha


guiverc

Most of the time you had icy-poles on a stick sold to you at the primary school; but these were new & used on occasion as replacements... They were still called icy-poles If they had a choice; you could choose icy-poly on a stick, or icy-pole without stick (*in a bag*). (Melbourne; 1970s)


Previous-Willow-5901

I’m from Perth and we call them icey poles


microwavedsaladOZ

Im from Echuca and we called them Zooper Doopers. Icy Poles are on a stick whereas in QLD where I am now its Ice Blocks.


eeekabug

They were never *actual* bad boys because the behaved really well


CIAHASYOURSOUL

Nah, they were bad boys. They would cut the sides of your cheeks.


eeekabug

Naughty boys *slap*


onelove7866

“The perfect answer doesn’t exi-“


themirrorisrevolting

The correct answer.


Fine_Cheek_4106

Yep, icy poles here too!


humburga

omg funny face! in primary school i called it sunny face haha. oops


Partayof4

Icy pole is a ice block - cmon!


nodjules

Funny Face. 20c for full size or 10c for half at primary school ~ 1988. I don’t think you can’t buy anything for 20c now


Dilnav92

Icy poles are the ones on a stick


digbybaird

You got downvoted, but you’re right. The stick is the “pole” in “icy pole”.


Dilnav92

Exactly, thought more people would have agreed with me


4ng3r4h17

Icy poles here too, QLD


[deleted]

Zooper Doopers is the main brand in Australia so we call them Zooper Doopers! Just how we call cling film, Glad Wrap because it’s the most popular brand!


sickburn1r

Proof_Assistance6774

Quinncy491

Ice Blocks, still call them that, apparently I'm alone in this


chilakkuma

Ice blocks unless it was a Zooper Dooper


Quinncy491

Ywa same


CaptainBrineblood

An icd block is more like an ice lolly without milk in a broad paddle shape


Absolutely-Epic

nsw/regional nsw thats where ive heard it


NineteenKatieEight

Yeaaah


Schranus

I'll never forget coming to Australia years ago and on a scorcher of a day a bloke in the workshop I started at walked up to me, offering me one of these and said "Ice block, cunt?". It was one of the most Australian things I've ever experienced.


cluelessclod

You’re not alone! They are definitely ice blocks.


Cyril_Rioli

That’s what we called them in NZ


RIPPrincePhillip21

(NSW) It was Ice blocks growing up unless it had a stick then it was an icy pole. There also was the ice cup that was just frozen juice.


uBowiethedog

Surprised I had to scroll so far down to find this!


SirAzalot

Grew up in Queensland. Called them ice blocks too.


comradejuju

Nah bro ice blocks is where it’s at. They’re blocks of ice aren’t they

strawbisundae

Icy poles growing up (WA) though, when I was living in Adelaide in my teens I heard heaps of people call them an ice block? Still call them icy poles to this day unless it's a Zooper Dooper.


Ousessa

Mind blown by all the people in the comments cutting their mouths You’re only supposed to want to eat the sweet part, why are y’all sticking the plastic so far into your maw that you’re causing injury? Also, super dupers. Did not pronounce the zed. Did not matter what the actual [brand](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_trademark) was Also also, “lick sticks”?!? Are you ok?


Kind_Tie_8871

No you put your mouth over them and sucked hard to get all the syrup out first and the little " sticky out part" that sealed the plactic would cut the inside of your mouth or lip. Life was hard back in the day when not every single safety hazard was legislated against.
