Popsicle

Icy summer treat

Popsicle is a trademark for frozen ice treats on a stick, though the word is widely used generically for any similar product.

The brand name appears on packaging and in advertising: Popsicle brand frozen pops.

Most speakers don't distinguish between the trademark and the generic term. (Lowercase popsicle is the generic term.)
