Otter Pops

Otter Pops are a brand of freezer pop produced by the Jel Sert Company in the United States. The product consists of a plastic tube filled with a sweet, fruit-flavored liquid, which is then frozen before consumption. The name "Otter Pops" is derived from the product's mascot, an otter named "Sir Isaac Lime."

History

Otter Pops were first introduced in the 1970s by National Pax Corporation. The product was later acquired by the Jel Sert Company, a food and beverage manufacturer based in West Chicago, Illinois. Jel Sert continues to produce Otter Pops to this day.

Product Description

Each Otter Pop is packaged in a thin, plastic tube. The liquid inside is made from water, sugar, and fruit flavoring. The product is sold in a variety of flavors, including strawberry, grape, and lime. Each flavor is represented by a different character, such as "Sir Isaac Lime" for lime and "Little Orphan Orange" for orange.

Consumption

To consume an Otter Pop, the consumer must first freeze the product. Once frozen, the top of the plastic tube is cut or torn off, and the frozen pop is pushed up from the bottom. The product is then eaten directly from the tube.

Cultural Impact

Otter Pops have become a popular summertime treat in the United States, particularly among children. The product's colorful packaging and fun, anthropomorphic characters have contributed to its enduring popularity.
