Zooper Doopers are the tits.

[Kyn]

I've just eaten four, and I'm seriously considering a fifth. Send help.

[Heartbreaker]

Cola is the best flavour.

[Mozenrath]

This sounds like one of those snack foods made up for a show.

On googling it, oh yeah, freeze pops. I haven't had them in ages, but it sounds like these come in more interesting flavors.

[Kyn]

My mouth is numb. My heart is empty. There are no Zooper Doopers left in my freezer.

(These were a big part of childhood in Australia, at least mine. These were what you bought at the school canteen on hot days. The government can take away Pollywaffles and Marble chocolate and proper Shape biscuits, but they better not take my goddamn Zooper Doopers. Especially the raspberry ones.)

The hell is a zooper dooper?

When Bill Cosby slips you a drug and you wake up several hours later disheveled and feeling cheap.




Actually it's an Australian popsicle treat. What we call a Fla-Vor-Ice apparently.

I feel you on this, I have a pretty bad Otter Pop addiction.

I recently discovered that my local grocery store's house brand are everything in the world. Only $1.50 a bag and taste just like snowcones.

You know, if we are going to talk about the best Aussie ice creams and icey poles, we have to mention rainbow Paddle Pops and Magnum.

Did you know if you did a blind taste test.. the rainbow flavour is tastes exactly like the caramel flavoured Paddle Pop.


I was always partial to the Choc Banana one myself.

Zooper Doopers were for the primary school canteen, rainbow paddle pops were from the high school canteen, and now I'm an adult, I eat Magnums. (... and my inner child eats Zooper Doopers). Have you tried the Magnum tubs? Somehow they're not as good.

Also I'm still mad that when I went to a milk bar as a kid, mum only let me have a Golden Gaytime, and I was NEVER allowed a Bubble-o-Bill.

I didn't find this out until recently, which made me wonder what I used to think a rainbow paddlepop tasted like. I guess I just thought whatever the flavour was, it was 'rainbow' flavour. Sort of how you can have bubblegum flavoured things, but since bubblegum is always flavoured with something, what the hell is bubblegum flavour?

I haven't tried the Magnum tubs, the ice cream and chocolate coating ratio looks awful!

For me Bubblegum flavour is the taste of those rock hard gums you used to get with trading cards,,..

Zooper Doopers sounds like the name of an ABBA cover band.

The ratio is all wrong, and while the chocolate on a regular Magnum is the best thing ever, the chocolate in the Magnum tubs is just not the same.

The one I miss is probably the first ice block I remember having, this one that was a three-layer thing that was raspberry on top, orange in the middle and lemonade on the bottom. Looking it up, it was apparently called a Sunset Triple.

I'm confused by this foreign slang. I thought calling someone a tit in Europe was a bad thing.

Calling someone a tit as an insult is a British thing, I think. I'm an Aussie; if something's the tits, it means it's excellent. Sort of like how people say *XYZ is the shit!*, except when you think about it, shit's actually not great. Tits, on the other hand...
