  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.

      • Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Yes, mostly sherbet. But there was also a vanilla with chocolate sauce swirl version too.

        PushUps was the brand name I remember.

    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

      • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        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.

      Practical cassette winder tool which the added benefit of being able to write on paper AND erase that very same writing!

    I need to see some branding on this thing…never once seen thing before. Maybe my parents were just more frugal with their money?

      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.

      I don’t remember the brand, but I ate these all the time as a kid. I have the feeling they were cheap because my parents didn’t have any money.

      We called them “pousse-pousse” in France, it means “push-push”, because you had to push the plastic thing from the bottom to push ice cream up.

        There’s nothing like French pousse-pousse!

  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.

  • TimeNaan@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Plastic has existed since the mid-XXth century.

  Ice cream with paper coating taste better
