People are having a heated debate over the correct name for an ice pop
We never knew there were so many names for ice pops until now. Or perhaps that should be ‘ice pops’ because it turns out a lot of people call them something else.
The revelation (such as it is) started when someone said this on Twitter.
scotland: it’s an ‘ice pole’
england: we call it a ‘chilly willy freezy poppington the 2nd’ pic.twitter.com/2IEZz45OSC

They are ice poles down here in Leicestershire also. Possibly related to the influx of Scottish people coming to work down here back in the 1970's

Not really. I’m from London & call it an ice pole
I just think the Scotland thing is rubbish & the region is irrelevant to the product name
