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.
Damn kids, get off my lawn!

Mmm… Chocolatey.
(Just kidding; I hate chocolate ice cream.)
Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Lucky you, these toilet paper tubes only came in one flavor… Orange sherbert.
jmr100@lemmy.world 1 year ago
well dam I can’t unsee that now
LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 year 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.

You guessed correctly?

They were cool toilet paper rolls actually
Etterra@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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?
MentorKitten@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Now just realizing they look exactly like toilet paper rolls
BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
I miss these so much

The fuk, what’s wrong with a bowl, or ice cream cone? Who uses toilet paper rolls?
TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 1 year 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.
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I think it is highly likely the ice cream manufacturer ordered the rolls from the same company making toilet paper rolls.
Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
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 1 year 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.
Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 1 year 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.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You don’t know how hard we had it in the 80s, man.
Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
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 1 year ago
To be fair, the plunger was plastic.
TimeNaan@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Plastic has existed since the mid-XXth century.

Ice cream with paper coating taste better
ssj2marx@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
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 1 year ago
It’s sherbert. That toilet paper tube was always a messy, sticky disappointment.

Push pops FTW
simplejack@lemmy.world 1 year ago
They were usually called “Push Ups” in my neck of the woods. “Push pops” were the little lipstick container lollipops.
VubDapple@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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”
Mozingo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That’s funny, we called them push up pops.
MewtwoLikesMemes@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Hey, neighbor! We also called them “Push-Ups” where I’m from!
Fogle@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Man do they still make baby bottle pops?
ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 1 year ago
don’t push me, push a push pop!
