Fla-Vor-Ice is a super popular frozen treat, also known as a freezie. Unlike regular popsicles that have a wooden stick, Fla-Vor-Ice comes in a plastic tube. You usually buy them as a liquid and then freeze them at home to enjoy them cold. Sometimes, stores might sell them already frozen.
Did you know that Fla-Vor-Ice makes about 1.5 billion of these treats every year? That's a lot of icy fun!
