What kind of iceblock is that?
Being an Aussie... I don't know, I don't think we have those iceblocks over here. I don't recognise it, anyway. I just thought it was some generic one the designer drew up! I $5ed and bought it anyway because I think it's awesome, but it'd probably be even more awesome if I could walk around eating one of those iceblocks while wearing it.

Still dunno if I prefer the brown sub tee or the dark grey print tee, either. I like brown... but I do have a fair few brown tees already.

Rocket pops I think they're called, like Frank said ...

I think they're supposed to be kinda patriotic or something for the U.S., which would explain why they're not sold elsewhere .

They are the yum tho!

It's nice when you can spot a fellow Aus by the blog title!

Ice block = popsicle/ice lolly

I've done some research on these coz I made some rocket pop soft toys...they're either called bomb pops or rocket pops depending on the shape...& the sequence of the coloured stripes are sometimes reversed. And the one in the photo looks like a twin one that's been broken. Bomb pops are cylindrical with flutes/fins...rocket pops, strangely, are kinda rocket shaped.

Trivial fact #2638: When I was a youngun they had iceblocks in the school canteen for 5 cents each (yes, I am THAT old) called "Footy Colours"...footy being Aus slang for football. Our team was Central Districts - the Bulldogs - & it's colours, & therefore the iceblock colours, were red, white & blue, like a rocket pop...so we did have something similar here in Aus in the early 70s. The white bit was chocolate though...& they were yummy.

Who's making fun of 'ice block'?

All I can say is it makes more sense than 'popsicle'

It's a block of ice people.. ice block

No, I mean iceblock. :))

Sausages that come from cows work out okay in my head; have you never had beef sausages? Mmm... beef good.

Ummm, not sausage. Is hot dog. A.k.a. frank or wiener.
Traditionally in US hot dogs is beef.

Me from San Bernardino California originally. We called them Rocket Pops!

Ice blocks n Ice Lollies. Heehee, cool. I love aussie and english words.

Agrees, neat glasses and cat, Memily. ;O)
