Ice Pop (1946, 1948)

[Marc Sacks]

I have an exchange teacher from China staying with me. Our family
regularly eats low-calorie, nonfat ice-cream or fudge bars on a stick.
Jiang refers to one of these as an "ice suck." (Fortunately, he pronounces
the two words quite distinctly.) I have the impression that this is a
literal translation of a Chinese name for the confection. Has anyone in
this group ever encountered it?
