What Is Paddle Pop?
The Paddle Pop is Australia's most universally recognised children's ice cream — a Streets Ice Cream product that has been continuously produced since 1953. It consists of a flavoured ice cream (chocolate, caramel, rainbow, and many other rotating flavours) on a wooden stick, targeted primarily at children. The original Chocolate Paddle Pop is the flagship product: a milk chocolate-flavoured ice cream on a stick. The Rainbow Paddle Pop — a tri-colour (orange, yellow, red) fruity flavour — is equally iconic. Streets introduced the Lion character ('the Paddle Pop Lion') as the brand mascot, which became one of the most recognised characters in Australian advertising history. Paddle Pops are distributed through school canteens, swimming pool kiosks, petrol stations, and supermarkets, and at approximately $2–3 each they occupy the most accessible price point in the Australian ice cream market. They are among the lowest-calorie commercial ice cream products available.
