the "ice pop" page says popsicles were served first in Oakland in 1923, this page says they were first served to the public in Alameda in 1924, that is an internal contradiction. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.23.245.206 ( talk) 15:03, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

I understand what the original author was going for in terms of pointing out the link between "pop" and "popsicle" but the term for soft drinks in San Francisco is "soda", not "pop". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.6.60.38 ( talk) 18:19, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
So what does the sicle in "popsicle" and "epsicle" mean and whence does it come from? Maikel 09:02, 7 October 2007 (UTC) Originally, "Epsicle" was for "Epperson's Icicle", then later the name changed with the help of several of his nine children. My father (Leo Epperson, Frank's youngest son) had said that the "pop" referred to the sound they made coming out of the test tubes they were originally frozen in. I've also heard from one of my aunts (Theresa Epperson) that "pop" referred to "father" - as in "Pop's Icicle". Both are probably valid and were likely discussed. -- Joesph Epperson 7 March 2008 |
The article implies that the trademark is genericized, but does not provide a source. Is the trademark still enforceable or has it yet to be tested in court? 65.87.26.127 ( talk) 01:23, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
Per the USPTO Popsicle is a live trademark, not a generic word for ice pop. Proposal to move this page to Popsicle with a hat note to Ice Pop similar to Kleenex. Lexlex ( talk) 13:40, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

These were popular popsicles usually aimed in advertisements during the 90's under the name "PopSicle Zone". These include: Lick-A-Color Fantastic Fruity Sherbert Cyclone Starship Big Stick Sprinklers Scribblers Hey people, did you notice the last paragraph in the History section? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hatredman ( talk • contribs) 05:31, 20 January 2010 (UTC) Also, the bit at the end of popsicle pete, about no one being safe. I'm trying to track down some sourcing on this creepy crap, and everything is just running with it. INCLUDING WIKIPEDIA. I am confused. And I really don't think... that is a thing. 99.156.239.235 ( talk) 07:52, 8 August 2011 (UTC) ^ It's from Cracked, master detective. A running joke of one of the writers based on the fact that Popsicle Pete looks like the demonic lovechild of Chucky and the Necronomicon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.202.186 ( talk) 17:50, 26 October 2011 (UTC) |

In the introduction it says he put the sticks into the frozen drink in the morning. In the history it says he left the sticks in there overnight. 82.26.170.120 ( talk) 13:24, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
Since popsicle is a portmanteau of soda pop and icicle, i added a line to that effect. even though it was mentioned here on the talk page, it never made it to the article. and thats the most popular word at WP, after neologism (which it also is)! Mercurywoodrose ( talk) 06:45, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
J&D recorded a song entitled "Popsicle" in 1963 referring to this frozen treat. The song even mentions using the sticks to build things and the "rewards" for saving the wrappers. Don't remember how high it charted, but wondered if this should be included in the article? THX1136 ( talk) 15:26, 27 September 2016 (UTC) It reached Number 21 in Billboard when it was re-released in 1966. Co-written by Bobby Russell.
The "non-standard" spelling Fudgicle in the photo raises a question, so it should be addressed. So far, I found this: http://blog.tompappalardo.com/?p=7098, which seems to suggest that this Wikipedia page (or the Ice Pop page) had previously addressed this name. Danchall ( talk)
The result of the move request was: no consensus to move the page to the proposed title at this time, per the discussion below. Dekimasu よ! 17:59, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
