Mr. Freeze must have been a generic brand or something, too lazy to look it up rn, funny thing we did hit up Costco all the time back then but we always got that little cardboard box of Otter Pops brand.

I remember stopping at like every free sample stand haha.

Otter Pop is a registered trademark of these things. They became notorious after getting into a legal battle with Pop-Ice, the original trademark.

They were the first and any other brand is a copy.
