Otter Pops are a brand of frozen snacks sold in the United States. The product consists of a plastic tube filled with flavored sugary liquid; after being frozen the top is cut off. The frozen juice is eaten out of the top of the tube, like a popsicle without a stick.
Otter Pops were originally introduced by National Pax in 1970, to rival Jel Sert's similar product, Fla-Vor-Ice. In 1996, Jel Sert acquired the rights to Otter Pops. During the 2000s, Jel Sert modified the recipe for Otter Pops by adding more fruit juice. It is now relatively healthy compared to other sweet snacks; each one ounce serving has only three grams of sugar and fifteen calories.
Otter Pops come in six flavors, each named after a different character:
- Blue Louie-Bloo Raspberry (Berry Punch)
- Red Strawberry Short Kook (Strawberry)
- Green Sir Isaac Lime (Lemon Lime)
- Light Red Poncho Punch (Tropical Punch) (originally Rip Van Lemon until the mid-1970s)
- Purple Alexander the Grape (Grape)
- Orange Little Orphan Orange (Orange)
In addition to the original flavor of Otter Pops, a new set of tropical flavors are in stores. Tropical Otter Pops are distinguishable from the original Otter Pops by their lighter shade of colors. According to the Jel Sert Consumer Affairs department, the flavors are:
- Light Blue Berry Punch
- Red Watermelon
- Pink Tropical Punch
- Orange Pineapple
- Light Green Citrus Punch
- Yellow Banana
