Wait, nobody just calls these popsicles? (Central US, was a kid in the 90s) I loved all the flavors except the light yellow one which was banana sometimes depending on the brand.

I am assuming that this is a hyper-local thing to wherever you were raised.
Popsicle is a brand that's over 100 years old and makes frozen treats on sticks.
-
When I was a kid we were all perfectly aware of the Popsicle brand, and we still called these things popsicles. Like how every tissue is a Kleenex, or every adhesive bandage is a Band-Aid.

That's interesting! I assumed it was just going to be a hyper-local thing for that one commenter.
Popsicle never made a product like this, so the Kleenex/tissue, Band-Aid/bandage, Sharpie/permanent marker thing doesn't really apply here.
I wonder where it comes from.

It's still flavored liquid that's been frozen. The stick doesn't make a huge difference to a ten year old. In some ways this is better because it doesn't drip all over.
If Kleenex never made a tissue with infused lotion, or only with infused lotion, people would almost certainly still use the term for the other kind too.

Same as you, except early 2000s, and banana is actually the best flavor
-
In my mind a popsicle has a stick and anything thats in a tube like this is an otterpop, even though otterpop is a brand name and ain't nobody buying the real otterpops.
