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”
Isildur, push up the icecream!
No.
ISILDUUUUUURRR
That’s funny, we called them push up pops.
I called them that too. I think I remember a Flintstones one.
They were cool toilet paper rolls actually
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.
Well it works have been nice if it wasn’t just orange sherbet.
Man now I want one of these. I don’t care if it’s in a toilet paper tube, it’s ice cream!
I miss these so much
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.
The ones I had were always sherbet not regular ice cream.
Yes, mostly sherbet. But there was also a vanilla with chocolate sauce swirl version too.
PushUps was the brand name I remember.
I don’t remember the vanilla/sauce one. But I would love that. Its super hard to find drumsticks without nuts and other shit (and only vanilla ice cream).
I only remember these with orange sherbet, it’s been many years but I don’t remember any other flavors of these things.
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.
Cassettes are coming back
Which is ridiculous because it’s really inarguable that between cassettes, CDs, vinyl and digital music, cassettes are by far the lowest quality. No amount of Dolby noise reduction is going to get rid of the hiss entirely either.
Hell yeah I’m ahead of the curve, my shit ass old ass car has a tape player already B^)
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.

Push-pops are what I knew them as, they were everywhere. Gas stations, ice cream trucks, grocery stores, it’s crazy to me you’ve never seen them.
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.
Ice cream with paper coating taste better
