Popsicles

Hello, can you help me? I am looking for the translation of "polo" (ice water with flavour and with a stick in it) Is popsicle the word for that? And how do you call its stick? "the popsickle stick"?
Thanks a lot

Yes, it is called a popsicle and the stick is called a popsicle stick. |

In my opinion, "polo" is translated more frequently as "ice lolly". So the stick is the "ice lolly stick". But your translation is also correct.

In the UK dosjulia is correct - it �s ice lolly and the stick is a lollipop stick. I assume popsicle is the US!

Correct assumption, Ishorton99. It �s worth noting that Popsicle is a brand name, but everyone uses it generically.
While we �re on the subject of ice lolly and lollipop, I �ll add that a lollipop (not ice) is a hard candy on a stick. Here in the US, we usually call it a sucker (because you suck on it to eat it).

Thanks to all of you. Ice lolly is easier to pronounce and memorise, I think, and my memory is not what is used to be :)
