About
As of 2026, it's 56 years old.
Otter Pops are the budget hero of summer: liquid sugar in a clear plastic sleeve that you freeze yourself, snip open, and push up with increasingly cold fingers. Cheap, sold by the box, and beloved precisely because they required zero effort and even less money.
Half the personality came from the cast of cartoon mascots — Sir Isaac Lime, Alexander the Grape, Louie-Bloo Raspberry — characters that gave a frozen tube of dye a surprising amount of charm.
Icy, sweet, and faintly finger-numbing, Otter Pops are the at-home freezer treat that powered an entire generation's backyard summers.
