Freezie
A freezie or a freeze pop is a water-based frozen confection similar to an ice pop. It is made by freezing flavored liquid such as sugar water, fruit juice or purée inside a plastic casing or tube, either round or flat.

They also do not need to be frozen as solidly as a popsicle and can have a consistency similar to that of a slushie.
