An ice pop is a liquid-based frozen snack on a stick. Unlike ice cream or sorbet, which are whipped while freezing to prevent ice crystal formation, an ice pop is "quiescently" frozen—frozen while at rest—and becomes a solid block of ice. The stick is used as a handle to hold it. Without a stick, the frozen product would be a freezie.
An ice pop is also referred to as a popsicle in Canada and the United States, paleta in Mexico, the Southwestern United States and parts of Latin America, ice lolly in the United Kingdom (the term ice pop refers to a freezie in the United Kingdom), Ireland and the Commonwealth, lolly ice by most people in Liverpool and some people in Ireland, ice lol as a colloquial form in areas where people say ice lolly, ice drop in the Philippines, ice gola in India, ice candy in the Philippines, India and Japan, ai tim tang or ice cream tang in Thailand (though both words are also colloquially used to refer to ice cream bar), and kisko in the Caribbean. The term icy pole is often used in Australia, but is a brand name for a specific type, so ice block is also used.
