A Paddle Pop is a milk-based frozen dairy snack made by streets and sold in Australia and New Zealand. It is held for eating by a wooden stick which protrudes at the base and is known as a Paddle Pop stick (used commonly for arts and crafts and known also as a popsiclestick or craft stick). The brand has a mascot known as the Paddle Pop lion who appears on the product wrapper.
