    Push pops FTW

      They were usually called “Push Ups” in my neck of the woods. “Push pops” were the little lipstick container lollipops.

        I might be remembering wrong. Push Ups does sound right too. It was 45 years ago. “I was there … When the strength of men failed”

        Hey, neighbor! We also called them “Push-Ups” where I’m from!

    There were clearly some questionable recycling methods for used toilet paper rolls back in the day, but don’t worry, the sweet orange flavor covered up the after taste.

      Mmm… Chocolatey.

      (Just kidding; I hate chocolate ice cream.)

        Lucky you, these toilet paper tubes only came in one flavor… Orange sherbert.

    • LodeMike@lemmy.today ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Its just made from the same “shove this cardboard strip into a cyllander because its [was] way times cheaper than a seamless roll” process.

    They were cool toilet paper rolls actually

    Well it works have been nice if it wasn’t just orange sherbet.

      * Christian Slater appears *

      (to the Americans, he was in a scene in the first Austin Powers movie which was deleted for the USA release for some reason, where Austin Powers hypnotises him to let him pass… and get him some orange sherbet. He reappears later in the movie, gives Austin some orange sherbet, and leaves. It was a brilliant call-back, and I have no idea why they deleted it for the American audience.)

        I immediately thought of Christian Slater when I read that.

    Maybe because of too much lead exposure?

    Now just realizing they look exactly like toilet paper rolls

    I miss these so much

    The fuk, what’s wrong with a bowl, or ice cream cone? Who uses toilet paper rolls?

    source
    • TragicNotCute@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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.

      source
      • Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I think it is highly likely the ice cream manufacturer ordered the rolls from the same company making toilet paper rolls.

        Thought this was home made, not company made. Saw the Flintstones branding on other ones which explains why I never saw/had these. $$$$

    • atocci@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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.

      source
      • Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        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.

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

      Plastic didn’t always exist. Also it’s just a roll of cardboard, nothing to do with toilet.

      • simplejack@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        To be fair, the plunger was plastic.

      • TimeNaan@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Plastic has existed since the mid-XXth century.

      Ice cream with paper coating taste better

    Man now I want one of these. I don’t care if it’s in a toilet paper tube, it’s ice cream!

    • Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It’s sherbert. That toilet paper tube was always a messy, sticky disappointment.
