Talk:Popsicle (brand)

message: the "ice pop" page says popsicles were served first in Oakland in 1923, this page says they were first served to the public in Alameda in 1924, that is an internal contradiction.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.23.245.206 (talk) 15:03, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Is there any citation for that entire section? I don't see one. That sounds like a complete fairy tale. I don't think a story like that should be in there without some kind of linkable source. --||bass (talk) 03:27, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sticks 

message: Since popsicle is a portmanteau of soda pop and icicle, i added a line to that effect. even though it was mentioned here on the talk page, it never made it to the article. and thats the most popular word at WP, after neologism (which it also is)!Mercurywoodrose (talk) 06:45, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

message: J&D recorded a song entitled "Popsicle" in 1963 referring to this frozen treat. The song even mentions using the sticks to build things and the "rewards" for saving the wrappers.
