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.
The weight of a popsicle stick can vary depending on its size and material, but on average, a standard wooden popsicle stick weighs about 1.5 grams. There are approximately 453.592 grams in a pound, so you would need around 302 popsicle sticks to equal 1 pound.

Because that's the way the company made them, that and it is easier to eat a popsicle off a flat stick.
Yes, popsicle sticks can absorb heat because they are made of wood which is a good conductor of heat. When placed in a warm or hot environment, the popsicle stick will absorb some of the heat, causing it to increase in temperature.
The length of a standard Popsicle stick is approximately 4.5 inches. Since there are 24 inches in two feet, you would need about 5.33 Popsicle sticks to reach two feet. Therefore, you would typically use 6 Popsicle sticks to cover the full length of two feet.
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.
