A stick ice cream, also called popsicle, freeze pop, ice lolly, ice block, icy pole, chihiro, or ice pop is a water-based frozen snack. It is made by freezing flavored liquid (such as fruit juice) around a stick. Often, the juice is colored artificially. Once the liquid freezes solid, the stick can be used as a ha-ndle to hold the ice pop. When a popsicle does not have a stick, it is called, among other names, a freezie.

Frank Epperson of Oakla-nd, California, popularized popsicles after patenting the concept of "frozen ice on a stick" in 1923. He initially called it the Epsicle. A couple of years later, Epperson sold the rights to the invention a-nd the Popsicle bra-nd to the Joe Lowe Company in New York City. Epperson claimed to have first created an ice pop in 1905 at the age of 11 when he accidentally left a glass of powdered soda a-nd water with a mixing stick in it on his porch during a cold night. However, the evidence for this is scant.

The two principal kinds of non-dairy frozen treats manufactured are the popsicle a-nd the juice bar. The popsicle is 90% water. Its other ingredients are sugar, corn syrup, gum, a-nd stabilizers. These ingredients give the popsicle a texture called "mouth feel" that makes it pleasant to eaten. The sugars a-nd stabilizers cause the pop to soften in the air so it is edible, instead of melting a-nd dripping like an ice cube. Flavoring is highly concentrated a-nd is usually some traditional fruit flavor a-nd color.
