Otter Pops

The product consists of a clear plastic tube filled with a fruit-flavored liquid and is one of the earliest brands of this dessert.

Otter Pops are a frozen treat, but stores generally sell them at room temperature for the consumer to later freeze at home.

National Pax introduced Otter Pops in 1970, in competition with Jel Sert's similar product, Fla-Vor-Ice.

A fourth-grade student in Costa Mesa, California learned of the change on the company's World Wide Web site, and organized a petition and picket with his cousins against it; a Stanford professor wrote in support, calling it "Otter-cide".
