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!

Cassettes are coming back
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 months 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.

One big problem I’ve always had with cassettes is due to the nature of how cassettes work, the sound literally slows down as the battery in the player gets lower.

But they’re cheap to produce and a good way to get sobering small when supporting an artist.

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