[edit] Is this article notable?

I tried to find an existing article in which to include the information, but failed.

• A Snow cone, is specifically shaved ice flavoured with syrup. A frozie cup is solid and flavoured before freezing.
• Italian ices are closer, being made from frozen cordial (but still shaved).
• An Ice pop has a stick in it.

The problem is compounded by a lack of web pages on the subject ... they really are a pretty trivial thing in the grand scheme of things ... Steve 04:29, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

It does not seem too notable. As children we would pour lemonaide, cordial or coca cola into a plastic cup, leave a spoon in, and freeze it, creating a home made icy pole. I'm Australian and find it difficult to believe that such a thing is unique to Aust. Asa01 07:19, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Maybe it should be in Wiktionary or something. Actually, the home made version you mention is different, a frozen cup isn't an icy pole, it's just a cup of frozen cordial. Steve 11:33, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Queensland specific?

All the references I've found online seem to be from Queensland.

• Ellis Beach Surf Life Saving Club
• Cannon Hill Anglican College
• Saint Augustine's College
• Western Cape College
• Western Cape Bulletin
• The Courier Mail
• Edge Hill State School

[edit] Milk version

My flatmate has confirmed that milk-based frozies are a legitimate deviation from the recipe, and that one store in Cairns made them when he was growing up Steve 11:35, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Frozen cup

Should the article be titled Frozen cup? I found more Google hits for Frozie, but is the "formal" name better? Steve 11:41, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
