They were usually called “Push Ups” in my neck of the woods. “Push pops” were the little lipstick container lollipops.
I might be remembering wrong. Push Ups does sound right too. It was 45 years ago. "I was there ... When the strength of men failed"
We definitely called them "push pops" when I was a kid, but I imagine it varied regionally.

That's funny, we called them push up pops.
I called them that too. I think I remember a Flintstones one.
Hey, neighbor! We also called them "Push-Ups" where I'm from!

There were clearly some questionable recycling methods for used toilet paper rolls back in the day, but don't worry, the sweet orange flavor covered up the after taste.
Mmm... Chocolatey.
(Just kidding; I hate chocolate ice cream.)
Lucky you, these toilet paper tubes only came in one flavor... Orange sherbert.
Yum.
well dam I can't unsee that now
Its just made from the same "shove this cardboard strip into a cyllander because its [was] way cheaper than a seamless roll" process.
I'm guessing this is from america
You guessed correctly?

They were cool toilet paper rolls actually
Well it works have been nice if it wasn't just orange sherbet.
* Christian Slater appears *
(to the Americans, he was in a scene in the first Austin Powers movie which was deleted for the USA release for some reason, where Austin Powers hypnotises him to let him pass... and get him some orange sherbet. He reappears later in the movie, gives Austin some orange sherbet, and leaves. It was a brilliant call-back, and I have no idea why they deleted it for the American audience.)

Maybe because of too much lead exposure?
Now just realizing they look exactly like toilet paper rolls
I miss these so much
