MODERATORS
When I was a kid we were all perfectly aware of the Popsicle brand, and we still called these things popsicles. Like how every tissue is a Kleenex, or every adhesive bandage is a Band-Aid.
That's interesting! I assumed it was just going to be a hyper-local thing for that one commenter.
Popsicle never made a product like this, so the Kleenex/tissue, Band-Aid/bandage, Sharpie/permanent marker thing doesn't really apply here.
I wonder where it comes from.
It's still flavored liquid that's been frozen. The stick doesn't make a huge difference to a ten year old. In some ways this is better because it doesn't drip all over.
If Kleenex never made a tissue with infused lotion, or only with infused lotion, people would almost certainly still use the term for the other kind too.
