IN DETAIL: In São Paulo contryside, there were popsicles and freezies. Ice cream, almost never. No wonder I’ve got an emotional connection with freezies. My favorite flavours were toasted coconut, lime and gooseberry. Very typical in beach areas, it can also be called chupe-chupe, picolé-de-saco or gelinho, it depends.
