Limber (dessert)

A limber is a frozen ice pop originating in Puerto Rico.

Limber is derived from the Spanish pronunciation of pilot Charles Lindbergh's last name.

[1] According to local lore, Lindbergh arrived in Puerto Rico in 1928 and was greeted with a frozen juice that later was referred to as limbers.

Traditional flavors include parcha (passionfruit), tamarind, pineapple, and coconut.

[2] Limbers are eaten by squeezing the bottom of the cup to push the pop out.
