They were usually called “Push Ups” in my neck of the woods. “Push pops” were the little lipstick container lollipops.

I might be remembering wrong. Push Ups does sound right too. It was 45 years ago. "I was there ... When the strength of men failed"

That's funny, we called them push up pops.

[-] NataliePortland@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago

I called them that too. I think I remember a Flintstones one.

[-] MewtwoLikesMemes@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Hey, neighbor! We also called them "Push-Ups" where I'm from!

There were clearly some questionable recycling methods for used toilet paper rolls back in the day, but don't worry, the sweet orange flavor covered up the after taste.

[-] MewtwoLikesMemes@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Mmm... Chocolatey.

(Just kidding; I hate chocolate ice cream.)

[-] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Lucky you, these toilet paper tubes only came in one flavor... Orange sherbert.

[-] jmr100@lemmy.world 25 points 4 months ago

Its just made from the same "shove this cardboard strip into a cyllander because its [was] way cheaper than a seamless roll" process.

They were cool toilet paper rolls actually

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

Well it works have been nice if it wasn't just orange sherbet.

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

Maybe because of too much lead exposure?

[-] MentorKitten@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Now just realizing they look exactly like toilet paper rolls

[-] BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 months ago
