Australian English for what Americans call a popsicle and Brits call an ice lolly — a frozen flavored treat on a stick. Paddle Pop is technically an Australian brand name (Streets ice cream) that became so dominant it turned into the generic term. They're a childhood staple down under, especially the lion mascot-branded ones. In Australia, asking for a popsicle will get you confused looks; a paddle pop is universally understood.
After footy practice, they all piled into the corner shop and grabbed a paddle pop each.
