popsicle

Stick-mounted ice treat

A popsicle is a frozen treat on a stick, typically fruit-flavored ice or frozen juice.

The word is used generically for any such frozen confection, though it originated as a trademark: The kids ran after the popsicle truck.

In American summers, popsicles are childhood staples. (Capitalized Popsicle is the trademark.)
