Lola Pops
Forget Freezies and put away those Popsicles — for many Canadian kids, the Lola was the real star of summer.
Introduced in 1959 and sold only in Ontario and Quebec, Iceberg’s Lola Pops were frozen fruit-flavoured pyramids that became an iconic warm-weather treat. Snipped open at the corner, Lolas trailed sticky fingers through parks and wading pools, melting faster than you could lick them and frequently leaving a mess on a favourite T-shirt. Lolas were discontinued in the early ’80s (and briefly revived in the late ’90s at a smaller size), but they remain an icy blast of sweet nostalgia.
