Push pops FTW

- They were usually called “Push Ups” in my neck of the woods. “Push pops” were the little lipstick container lollipops.

  I might be remembering wrong. Push Ups does sound right too. It was 45 years ago. "I was there ... When the strength of men failed"

  That's funny, we called them push up pops.

  Hey, neighbor! We also called them "Push-Ups" where I'm from!

  Man do they still make baby bottle pops?

There were clearly some questionable recycling methods for used toilet paper rolls back in the day, but don't worry, the sweet orange flavor covered up the after taste.

- Mmm... Chocolatey.
  
  (Just kidding; I hate chocolate ice cream.)

  Lucky you, these toilet paper tubes only came in one flavor... Orange sherbert.

well dam I can't unsee that now

- Its just made from the same "shove this cardboard strip into a cyllander because its [was] way cheaper than a seamless roll" process.

They were cool toilet paper rolls actually

Well it works have been nice if it wasn't just orange sherbet.

Maybe because of too much lead exposure?

- It's orange sherbert. That toilet paper tube was always a messy, sticky disappointment.
  
  If it was actually ice cream, I would agree with you, though!

The fuk, what's wrong with a bowl, or ice cream cone? Who uses toilet paper rolls?

- I mean, they weren’t truly toilet paper rolls, just similar shape, size, and material. These were waxed on the inside to prevent them from dissolving once you put ice cream in them.

  I think it is highly likely the ice cream manufacturer ordered the rolls from the same company making toilet paper rolls.

  Thought this was home made, not company made. Saw the Flintstones branding on other ones which explains why I never saw/had these. $$$$

- It was just a packaging thing, supposed to keep the ice cream from melting down your hand while you held it on a stick. As you ate, you'd slide the tube down and push more ice cream out of the top.

  Yeah I get the concept and all, I did have those pushpip candies the odd time. Same premise, I just thought someone took the icecream from the normal tubs/boxes, filled the liter toilet paper roll then refroze it. Didn't suspect it was company mass produced things.

- You don't know how hard we had it in the 80s, man.

  I need to see some branding on this thing..never once seen thing before. Maybe my parents were just more frugal with their money?
  
  Saw Flintstones, confirmed this wasn't some home made thing. 100% the reason we didn't get this stuff. Just cost too much for what it was, and is one of the contributing factors to why I have a house these days, I suspect. Thanks mom.

- Plastic didn't always exist. Also it's just a roll of cardboard, nothing to do with toilet.

  To be fair, the plunger was plastic.

  Plastic has existed since the mid-XXth century.

- Ice cream with paper coating taste better
