Well it depends on the load(weight) of the object that is gunna go down on it or transverse on it. It also depends if the Popsicle is side ways or on the flat side, which is weaker that on the small side point
Use a lot of sticks.
A truss bridge has the best weight to strength ratio.The triangulation of the popsicle sticks strengthens the whole bridge
Use a truss design. Remember to use lots of triangles as they are the strongest geometrical shape, and also, if you are just testing only the strongest Popsicle stick bridge, use many reinforced Popsicle sticks (two or more popsicle sticks laid on-top of each other). Make your bridge as symmetrical as possible, as this well help your bridge endure more surface and joint tension.If you are using popsicle sticks for your deck as well, you should probably double layer it, then add a zigzag or triangles pattern of sticks on the bottom the deck, to further reinforce it. When you make joints with your popsicle sticks, make it look something like this: --------_______-------- <stick layout keep that pattern consistent, with out laying them in a stair type pattern. Think of those small sturdy bridges with wide, geometrical beams.
Well I think Popsicle stick

As an individual stick, not very. Popsicle sticks are made of Yellow Poplar, a soft, not terribly strong wood. But with laminating by using glue, and basic structural principles, very strong objects can be built of popsicle sticks.

Because that's the way the company made them, that and it is easier to eat a popsicle off a flat stick.
Moulds are often used in an industrial setting. If you're trying to make popsicles at home and are having a hard time with tipping sticks- cover the tray your using in ClingWrap and poke your popsicle sticks through the plastic. This will keep the stick in the middle of your popsicle.
stick them and bridge is ready
Popscicle sticks are flat, pieces of wood rounded at the edges commonly used for holding popscicles.Sometimes 'Popcicles' can be ice lollies but with no stick, Basically just a stick of flavoured ice!
As long as there has been ice cream and sticks : ) In 1905, the Popsicle was invented by an eleven-year-old Frank Epperson. Frank Epperson was only 11 years old when he invented the originally named Epsicle. He had left his fruit flavored soda outside on the porch with a stir stick in it. The drink froze to the stick and tasted good. It took 18 more years in 1923 for Epperson to apply for a patent for a "frozen ice on a stick" called the Epsicle ice pop, which his children re-named the Popsicle. In 1925, Frank Epperson sold his famous Popsicle to the Joe Lowe Company of New York. Good Humor now owns the rights to the Popsicle. * Twin Popsicles (two popsicles sticks together) were invented during the Great Depression. * Popsicle sticks were first made from Birch wood.
