Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ 1: What makes popsicles softer than ice?
Great question! Because of what’s inside, popsicles are softer than regular ice. Freezing plain water makes it hard, just like ice cubes. However popsicles contain sugar, fruit or milk that don’t let the water freeze solid. These ingredients divide the ice crystals and maintain the popsicle smooth and soft. That’s why they dissolve gradually in your mouth and feel creamy or juicy – but not crunchy like ice!

FAQ 2: How Are Popsicles Made?
In making popsicles, tasty materials such as fruit, juice, and yogurt are blended, frozen into a mold with a stick. First you mix everything until it’s smooth. Then you pour the mix in the molds, add the sticks and pop them in the freezer. A few hours down the line and your popsicles are ready for consuming. Creating popsicles at home is so easy—and what’s even better is that you choose what goes into it.
