Otter Pops
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Otter Pops are a brand of frozen snacks sold in the United States. The product consists of a plastic tube filled with flavored sugary liquid; after being frozen the top is cut off. The frozen juice is eaten out of the top of the tube, like a popsicle without a stick.
Otter Pops were originally introduced by National Pax in 1970, to rival Jel Sert's similar product, Fla-Vor-Ice. In 1996, Jel Sert acquired the rights to Otter Pops. During the 2000s, Jel Sert modified the recipe for Otter Pops by adding more fruit juice. It is now relatively healthy compared to other sweet snacks; each one has only four grams of sugar and fifteen calories.
Otter Pops come in six flavors, each named after a different character:
- Louie-Bloo Raspberry
- Strawberry Short Kook
- Sir Isaac Lime
- Poncho Punch (originally Rip Van Lemon until the mid-1970s)
- Alexander the Grape
- Little Orphan Orange
